hate = good
i recently watched a very enlightening video that discusses the differences between love and hate. I’ve studied the video many times, and have begin to take the topic down a different path.
first of all, who says that love is good and hate is bad? whoever it was is probably a liar. if you disagree with me then I love you (which is worse than hating you).
let me explain: when we love ourselves or others it leads to a feeling of inequality. we value and esteem an object above others to the point that we convince ourselves that that object is worth defending (unto death?). when we hate (the true meaning of hate) we become indifferent towards this “thing”. If we really really hate the thing, we won’t want anything to do with it, and it will blend into obscurity. You might be operating under a wrong perception of hate right now, so you might be disagreeing with me. I’m not talking about the spiteful hate, where you would like to love something but because it rejects you, you end up hating it. I’m talking about hate hate. if i were talking about the rejected love, it would argue my case all the better. the spiteful hate is caused by love, so obviously love is to blame.
ever since i came to this this realization, that video is now a tragedy. the evil love wins, and hate loses. It’s too bad that I don’t hate that video or I’d be fine, but i don’t. i love it.

maybe it's a matter of semantics, but i've been thinking about love and hate existing on a continuum of things that interest me while there is another category of things i'm totally disinterested in. it's like that part in do the right thing where radio's like, "if i love you, i love you man, but if i hate you . . . i hate you." so they're related. at least i think that's what the entire premise of this blog was about--that hating is just a kind of love and often you can't tell the difference between the two. but maybe i'm wrong. that's why i'm working on a retrospective of this blog, a kind of genealogy of morals for this specific hate blog.
