Hatred is an inability to love

Hatred is an overwhelming feeling, it does not leave room for its peaceful, humane antithesis. Undoubtedly, hatred has a rational component, it needs constant justification, it is fueled by memories and inflamed fantasy projections into the future. This feeling is not just affecting, but subordinating the whole mind of a person. It is not without reason that Horatius called anger, the emotional part of hatred a brief insanity.

Letter and spirit

Unlike an outburst of anger similar to the lightning of a short-lived state, hatred is a substance capable of producing a dry, toxic residue, to be immortalized in books, works of art, ritual and cult objects. Suffice it to recall the "Mein Kampf" by Adolf Hitler, agitational posters of the times of interethnic wars, which became the nominal symbol of the Ku Klux Klan.

Art, not just portraying, but transmitting hatred, still does not compare with one-time crafts of mass media. It is with their assistance that the cold steel idea of hatred is programmed, cultivated and planted in the minds of millions of people.

Why do some hate others?

National hatred is a direct consequence of the clash of the interests of peoples, when the restrained self-awareness of some is compensated at first by verbal-mental humiliation, and then - and a real defeat in the rights of others. It is by no means the other side of healthy nationalism, but it is an inalienable attribute of Nazism.

The Germans on the eve of Hitler 's rise to power did not yet outlive the humiliation of the nation that lost the First World War. This initially encouraged us to look not so much for external as for internal enemies, for differentiation into Aryans and people with a less Nordic character, and therefore awakening the mood of defeatism in society. It was to this that the Fuehrer ascending to the short-lived but bloody power called for.

Negative nasty and fear of the unknown

What we do not do, but what interests someone else, often worries, causes an unconscious protest. The point here is not even in envy, but in the difference between the limits of the tolerated mothers soaked with milk. The irritation is caused by someone who knows how to not just "get around" us, but to do it in an unacceptable way for us. For example, if in one part of a deceit of "someone else's" coexisting on a single territory, charlatanism is considered to be criminal inadmissible, while in another it is justified and considered the norm, the curvature and tension of social relations are almost inevitable.

The marked features of individual representatives of peoples are gradually becoming a common name. For a long time, Judeophobia everywhere eats the protest of the philistine against usury, mutual support of members of the Jewish community when replacing profitable vacancies in science, art, and financial organizations. Hatred is a cauldron, which is also heated by the theme of the incomprehensible, unconditioned, unknown. All that is characteristic of secret societies, whether they are Masonic lodges, closed councils of diasporas, mafia clans or catacomb meetings of Christians in the first centuries from Nero to Constantine.

The historical and cultural roots of mutual hostility

The foundation on which hatred is based is also history, those moments when, on the basis of religious or national enmity, great blood was shed. The gap between the Eastern Christians and Rome began not with the papal scroll laid on the altar of St. Sophia, but with the greedy orgies organized by the Crusaders in the villages of the "schismatics", with the plundering of temples and massacres. Armenians are unlikely to feel love for the Turks, bearing in mind the 1.5 millionth genocide against their people, the forcefully decimated lands of their homeland, including the sacred mountain Ararat.

The sense of hatred is, among other things, a consequence of the tension in the sphere of cultural relations. Disrespect for traditions and values of indigenous population by alien ethnoses leads, if not to wars, to open hostile confrontation in the sphere of politics, economics, and everyday coexistence. Thus, the tension between Europeans and the Arab world is growing with the flow of migrants who do not want to assimilate, integrate into the cultural world of the Old World.

Is tolerance an antidote?

Modern theorists of a conflict-free world are increasingly calling for the cultivation of tolerance as a universal means of countering hatred. However, if one understands the essence of the propagandized approach, it is easy to be convinced: indifference, indifference to the variety of manifestations of those living next to you can hardly extinguish the fire of passionate, based on deeply rooted reasons for mutual rejection. In fact, the adherents of tolerance only call for a new Tolstoyanism, for non-resistance to evil under a different, new-fashioned sign.

Hatred towards people is, in fact, a sublimation of one's inferiority. The feeling of anger is generated by a feeling of inferiority driven into the subconscious, the latter is often compensated by self-aggrandizement on false, far-fetched grounds.

Deaf discontent is the eternal companion of misanthropy. As the Scripture says, "the righteous are satisfied with everything." That is why an antidote to hatred can only serve a sound sense of self-worth and work on your own shortcomings without looking for the guilty on the side.

Hatred is the lack of love

A person who loves his people will not hate representatives of another ethnos, but he will not allow these latter to mock, humiliate, exploit, show disregard, arrogance, signs of alleged superiority in relation to their loved ones.

In a religious sense, hatred is a sin, because it is aimed at condemning someone else, rather than changing for the better themselves, potentially - to infringe upon the freedom of another person. This feeling is mutually destructive, ineradicable without the acquisition of a peaceful spirit, without the service of love against its own passions, suspicions, chronic grievances.

Anger, called Horatius "madness," is considered in Christianity as one of the seven deadly sins. In the popular saying he is called a "bad adviser". Psychology describes the same phenomenon as an acute painful affective state. The elimination of hatred by religious or secular means is a necessary condition for mankind to have a hope for the future without wars and internal conflicts.
