HATE: neccessary? no.
When you find out that some people hate you, and you try to be okay with it, you hope to God that more people like you than hate you.
I used to care a lot more what people thought of me. I wanted to be someone that EVERYONE liked. Even if I didn't like someone, I'd want them to like me. As I am about to graduate, I realize how impossible that it.
I hope people realize what they mean when they think they hate someone.
People need to distinguish the difference between hate and other things.
If someone is different, don't HATE them because they are, but agknowledge the fact that people are different because they come from different backgrounds. They believe that what they are doing is natural and normal, because it is what they think is right.
If someone is annoying, don't HATE them because they are, but recognize that your personalities conflict, and that's all there is to it.
If someone is talented, don't HATE them because they are, but rather distinguish the difference between jealousy and envy. Know that you can only make yourself better, and cannot make them worse.
If someone did something to you personally in what seemed a cold hearted manner, don't HATE them, but try to understand why they did it. Maybe ignorance, maybe selfishness, a need for attention, or maybe they didn't even know they were hurting you.
Just thoughts that crossed my mind today...
