as real as it gets

I like this poem dearest Kitty but hate has burned me alive
and got me no where but compromised...plus I have long been the object of hate and ridicule among the powers that be...

Hate is an aspect of our humanity. People who deny they have felt it's presence are fooling themselves at the least. I for one, will look at hate directly in the eye and acknowledge it's existence as another dimension of our species. Too deny hate is to inflame it.

I disagree...

Hate is part of an external force/energy,
not inherent in the quintessential aspect of humanity...

But it is parasitic and viral...

Perhaps...

I have been thinking of these
things, lately, actually...

Like...

I really don't like allocating
bandwidth to these things...

However...

...  In any event, tis quite complex...

Hate is hard wired into our brains and is as much a part of our amygdala as much as love is part of the hypothalamus. Millenniums of human existence are carried forward in our neural networks.

One thing we can surely trust is 'negative emotions' because they come unsolicited (unlike whipping up 'postive thinking').

And it is worth noting there is no such thing as 'objective truth'; even that laggard Science figured that one out a 100 years ago.

Our subjective experience is all we have. Life is the experience of life.
If hate comes to the surface, then it was within us, so better to befriend it and try and understand what message it is bringing. No point trying to 'hammer it back down' because of some moral rulebook or motivational-speaker crap about positive thinking. The hate will only pop out again at some inopportune moment, and quite possibly when squashed down contributes to illness too.
Better to use its force (as you suggest) in a constructive way but this is only possible when it is understood at a deep level, and transformed. Otherwise it is just compensation -- which is o.k in the short run as a safety valve.

I do not think our species have or will evolve past the point of hate for a very long time.
Thank you, Josh.

without conflict. we would burn out of energy without it, conflict it is necessary,,,

We cannot escape conflict. It is part of our existence.

Beautiful writing. That final stanza is WOW.

For me, it resonates better if I replace "hate" with "rage". Because hate requires an object, and although I feel, accept, embrace & honor plenty of unfocused rage within me, I try not to direct it AT anyone (which by my definition, would then be hate). But that hair-splitting aside, I totally agree that to deny its presence is foolish. ALL feelings are human - it's what we do with them that makes the difference.

Thought provoking write, bk.

Thank you, k.very much appreciated. For me, hate doesn't have a person, place or thing. I have experienced times where I woke up feeling hateful for no good reason.
