HJFinAZ: What does it benefit me to not like another human being?
Let's face it, we do like all people.
I benefit myself by stating to a person I dislike, which are few and far between, that I do not like them, so they should not bother interacting with me.
It temporarily bolsters our false sense of superiority. Wait.....I suppose that's not really a benefit then is it? My illusions may be grand, but, afterall, they are still illusions.

I don't know, I think I have the right to be discerning about who I like to associate myself with. Some people just don't contribute to my life, and I try to avoid toxic people as much as possible. Negativity is not something I like to be around, it takes from me without giving anything in return.
Define "like" HJF, what do you mean by your question? I don't think anyone likes everybody, I can even love people without much liking them.
