It seems to me that in a lot of cases, it just boils down to "they hate..." :(

Even sadder though, is that a lot of it boils down to "'we' hate..." :(

But do "we" really?
If a child sees a spider, screams for help, and an adult comes in and "helps" by killing the spider. The child then responds by saying hooray, thanks for saving me from the spider.
Now did the child actually hate the spider? Or were they just afraid of it?
The two terms get used interchangably quite often. Most adults will tell you they hate spiders...When they really mean they're afraid of them.

Through the words of a muppet comes the truth...
"Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering."
Does it really matter in what stage you find yourself? That's a spiraling mode of thinking. And all of it, IMO, comes from selfishness, but that's a different discussion.

A Star Wars quote? Seriously?
Just because something can spiral, does not automatically dictate that it will/must spiral into the eternal abyss (or the dark side if you like... :)). Because it is also "true", that only a fool has no fear.
