There’s a Hitch With Hate!

The word hate is used to express a disliking for a wrongdoing and/or a wrongdoer. It can range from being annoyed to repulsed.

There is, however, more to hate. Claiming to have it is also a way to disown mental hurt. We prefer to say we have hate rather than hurt to avoid feeling and appearing weak. Finding hurt painful, we ignore it in an attempt to wish it away―something impossible to do. Like anger and rage, hate temporarily vents strong emotion, Because it also brings about a loss of safety, trust, ableness, closeness or self-worth, it results in more hurt.

Try this: Think of something or someone you claim to hate. Then, have the courage to get personal healing underway by identifying the hurtful loss prompting your hate. Healing continues when you bring about kind and fair ways to replace what you’ve lost.
