If there were No Hate, There would be No Love.
Detest, abhor, loathe and hate all means the same, but most people are common with only one of these words, and that word is hate. Hate is extremely strong word, but it often slips off out tongue without thinking that it might offend someone. Merriam-Webster's collegiate dictionary defines the word hate as "to feel strong aversion of intense dislike for." My definition of the word "hate" is strong dislike towards somebody or something, because of their race, actions, or accomplishments. .
Racial hatred has been at its highest point during the Civil War years. Slavery was one of the major factors that started the racial hatred. Dispute between different beliefs about black rights, was a spark that started the racial war. During those years numerous hate groups had been formed, from KKK, and the Blood Brotherhood to the Black Panthers. Every one of these groups believed that their race was superior to the rest. Sometimes, these hate groups would result in violence to demonstrate to what extremes they would result to prove how deep their believes were. Symbols like the swastika, and expressions like "white power" are still used today to express racial hatred. .
Feeling hate towards someone can happen as fast as a speeding bullet hitting your love one or it can build on inside of you for years. Hate because of someone's actions is particularly common today. Couple of weeks ago, a lady killed and cut open a pregnant woman named Theresa Andrews, and she took her baby and claimed it hers. If I were a husband of a victim that was brutally slaughtered, I would not be able to be next to the murderer without trying to somehow get revenge. Loss of a loved one can drive someone to the point of insanity, where the person believes that only way to continue their normal life is to seek revenge. .
Freeing yourself from hate is as difficult as trying to quit heroin or cocaine.
