I have not posted for a while as I have been thinking about the word: “hate”
This little four letter word is taking a surprising amount of time.
Google says it is a verb: “feel intense or passionate dislike for (someone).”
but “intense dislike” and “passionate dislike” is obviously far too weak in terms of truly defining hate. So, frankly Google, and dictionaries in general, are all wrong by trying to over simplify this emotion.
Hate is ongoing and relentless. Pure unadulterated hate is far colder than the coldest cold, far hotter than the warmest fire. Fully refined hate is arguably the strongest emotion a human person can experience. Hate is far stronger and longer lasting than love.
Personally I experience ongoing and pure hatred.
I truly hate ignorance.
To understand hate, one has to be very honest with yourself. If someone, or a society has deeply wronged you, for any reason, we usually end up hating a person or an organization. For example, Do many people hate Hitler? Yes. But why does anyone hate Hitler? Or hate the Nazi organization(s)? Factually: The German society itself gave rise to the culture of death and destruction due to human ignorance. In my own experience, being personally well and truly fucked by a society, and in such a fashion that I am in stalemate, or lose & lose no matter what I do, I have figured out that my situation relates directly to human ignorance. Humans are really not cool animals. Yes, many of us try to be better, we try to be good, we try to do whatever we consider to be the right thing. But we are all ignorant. We are ignorant of our own ignorance and even the most broadminded among us only understand this when we also have the ability to be extremely honest with ourselves.
So, as to writing about hate? Even after some months, I still do not fully understand this little four letter word. Sure, I live the dream, I hate. After reading, researching, studying, reflecting and honest thought, I still do not understand the word properly.
