I hate writing about hate.

1. Does hate have a real defined definition?
2. Is hate impossible to overcome in our "new world" of fairness and understanding?
3. Does the use of the word "hate" in everyday context allow "hate" into our lives?

First off i'm doing question #3: Does the use of the word hate in everyday context allow hate into our lives? Well i'm going to say yes just to make it interesting. The first thing I thought about with this article was why the word hate? The article seemed more about racial or group hate than the basic behavior of hate. Everyone uses the word hate for everything: "I hate vegetables", "I hate my boss", "I hate you!". Everyone is guilty and the author did not bring this up. If we start using this word as kids and people don't tell us that hate is a bad thing, then won't people continue to us it and let it evolve into something else? If hate is everywhere and in everyone then if we use it everyday affairs, will it ever leave? The author did bring up hate as a survival mechanism, but do we still need this to survive?  All I can say is this a hot topic, but not for the right reasons. When we hear "hate" we think of racism or being mean/ hurtful to others because of who they are, where they're from or who they choose to be with. I think hate is associated with all those terrible things but "hate" is different things. A child hates eating vegetables, and tells everyone that he/she hates eating vegetables because they taste "yucky" but is you asked the same child if he/she hated the next door neighbor what would she say? yes or no? and why does he/she hate her neighbor? Possibly the neighbor was mean, or smelled funny, or maybe the child does not like the neighbor because they have different a skin color or married to someone with the same gender. This is just one example of how "hate" can have different meaning and those different meanings come from our daily lives.
