If so, why?

    Honestly, sometimes yes.

    I genuinely can’t understand ‘peoples’ need to hate on each other. All the time.

    But I feel like the tin foil hat wearing loony when I share this sentiment with most people.

      Most people are unsatisfied with their lives. There are two ways we generally try to deal with this; improve your own situation or try bringing other people down to your level. Many feel like the latter option is easier.

      I don’t hate anyone or anything. Hate is a toxic emotion that poisons your own mind but leaves the target of it unaffected. It also implies the thing you’re hating is responsible for whatever it is that makes you hate it and assumes they could choose to do otherwise. I don’t believe in this. People don’t choose to behave badly. They just do and couldn’t have done otherwise.

      I get you. I love you.

        For whatever reason, I read the “I love you” like the Costco greeter in Idiocracy.

        It makes me chuckle. As Joe Dirt famously said, Keep on keeping on.
