Merry Meet Consuelo,
Why do people hate?......I think it is because human beings are animals, but our brain capacity renders us to motivate to extreme's. We seem to be the only animals that hate enough to kill one another for reasons other than direct physical threat to our lives or the lives of those we love.
Research has shown that a highly developed part of our brain called the amygdala plays a major role in violent rage and hate. The amygdala in humans is part of our highly complex limbic system (part of our nervous system), this system is key in human emotions and automatic responses because the amygdala is linked to the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. Interestingly, our amygdala is also linked to the area in our speech center that controls obscenities. This link is also the reason that hateful rage often includes extensive use of obscenities.
We hate because we feel at the deepest levels of our psyche, that we are being threatened, either as a singular entity or as a group. Humans are complete and logical, we tend to go overboard on our actions to eliminate a threat. Usually the threat is socially self- induced.
Hate thrives when we lose the ability to bend others to our will , our beliefs or in some instances an out of reach competitive level. We have an innate tendency, called the binary instinct, to divide the world into us and them.
One important way we can work against hate is to create nonjudgmental safe environments for children who so easily absorb and incorporate into their meaning systems the environment around them. If they are raised in an environment full of violence, abuse and stress, some children are more likely to develop into adults who are quick to overreact, to perceived threats with fear, anger, hatred and violence.
Belief systems that are narrow and rigid are too easily threatened and those with such belief systems are more open to hate. It does matter, not only," what we believe"," but how we believe". Those of us who are open and flexible in our beliefs are less likely to feel our belief systems are threatened and so are less open to hate....BB....MASS
