Hate is watching them walk away with someone else.

-Kate Jackson

Hate is an album by The Delgados:

Hate is knowing you can't stop it.

Hate is someone you love cutting themselves....for fun.

Hate is staying up all night crying because he's an idiot.

Hate is loving and never knowing it.

Hate is stupid.

Hate is pointless.

Hate is knowing you could've stopped it, but didn't.

Hate is realizing how stupid you were an hour ago.

-Dana Michelotti

Hate is being raped and still seeing him live the normal life everyday that you should have.

Hate is painful.

Hate is draining.

Hate is all consuming.

-Shiloh Avemtila

Hate is vain.

Justice becomes vengeance becomes revenge.

Aggressor and victim both become burned with negativity.

-Jikuu

Hate is what we dwell upon,

though it is not worth dwelling in the first place.

Hate is when the one person that means the world to you starts drinking. And you tell them how much you wish they wouldn't... But they do it anyway... Yeah, I hate that so much...

-Johnathan Palmer

Hate is that sour cross between disgust, mistrust, and maybe fear.
Hate is when you temporarily seethe at someone you love.
Hate is unnatural, no one is ever born with it, it has to be acquired or taught.
Ironically, those that don't partake of it are seen as inhuman...

-Jessica Strong

Hate is tiresome.

Hate is consuming.

-Brittany Evans

"Hate" or "hatred" is an emotion of intense revulsion, distaste, enmity, or antipathy for a person, thing, or phenomenon; a desire to avoid, restrict, remove, or destroy its object. The emotion is often stigmatized; yet it serves important evolutionary purposes, as does love.

Hatred can be based on fear of its object, justified or unjustified, or past negative consequences of dealing with that object. Hatred is often described as the opposite of love or friendship; others, such as Elie Wiesel, consider the opposite of love to be indifference.

Hatred is not necessarily irrational or unusual. It is reasonable to hate people and organizations that threaten or inflict suffering on oneself, or whose survival interests are directly opposed to one's own. People hate impediments to their health and wellbeing. Popular objects of hate include other identity groups, political factions and ideologies, natural sources of suffering, and paradoxically, hate itself.

Often 'hate' is used casually to describe things one merely dislikes, such as a particular style of architecture, a certain climate, a bad movie, one's job, or some particular food.

"Hate" or "hatred" is also used to describe feelings of prejudice or bigotry against a group of people, such as racism, and intense religious prejudice. Hate crimes are crimes committed out of hatred in this sense.

Sometimes people, when harmed by a member of an ethnic or religious group, will come to hate that entire group. Some consider this to be socially unacceptable--Western culture, for example, frowns on collective punishment and insists that people be treated as individuals rather than members of groups. Others view such generalizing behavior as rational and indeed, necessary in order to ensure group survival in the face of competing groups which often lack such scruples.

Hate is often a precursor to violence. Before a war, it is often useful to train the populace to hate some nation or political regime. Hatred remains a major motive behind armed conflicts such as war and terrorism. It is not easy to know when hate is logical and when it has become counterproductive and self-perpetuating.
