Why do we hate?

Racism, Sexism, Anti-Religious Sentiment, Supremacist Doctrine, Hate Crimes, or just Out Right Playa Hatin; These types of “Emotions” have been a continuous plague through out the history of mankind, with no view of an end to them. As much as we try to ignore them they are there and are going to be there. However, although they are relevant societal woes, they are not genetically or intuitive characteristics. They are simply products of environmental stimulus that were formed from benign rationale. “Race” per se or the distinction of “Race”, biological and conversely societal is necessary in a sense to help determine the tools needed for a particular Sect of people to adapt environmentally. Simply, for example:
¨ Hot climates good for darker skinned people and vice versa
¨ Diets based on climatic locations are different in the sense that a mostly vegetarian diet is better for hotter climates; while heavier meat related diets are better for colder climates, since the storing of fat cells are needed to survive the longer colder days
¨ On and on and on
So how did something so beneficial in simple climatic adaptation become such an overbearing force that has been used as excuses for some of the most horrible tragedies against our fellowman kind? Well that is simple too. It is based on two general personality flaws “Fear and Greed”.
Fear- fear of the unknown. We as a people are scared of anything different. We are creatures of habit and unguided rationale. The combination of those two entities is the perfect breading ground for stereotypes and hate.
Greed- we won’t what someone else has. People are never happy with the basic necessities we look at other groups and desire what we think are their strengths.
The harsh reality is that these two seemingly common negative factors are the catalyst for so many of the world’s atrocities. They have been the causes of wars, slaveries, abuse, and much other carnage.
How do we erase the effects of these issues? That also is based on two simple traits, “Respect and Contentment”.
* Respect- understanding and respect of our inherited differences.
* Contentment- being happy with what you have and understanding why you were blessed with what you have in life.
