Hiya, Nuliii!
How are you?We are all human, the important thing is that we control what we sometimes feel
ERmmmm, how is your patio? no slabs sticking up where they shouldn't be, is there?
I might dislike someone or something but not hate. I can only speak for myself.
Sunnydaze14: Isn't it amazing how every single person on this thread has said it is easier to love than hate, and that they don't hate anybody?
Really?????
If everyone in the world is as loving as you all on this thread profess to be, why are there so many wars, and fights, and killings, and divorces and family break ups and just generally people hurting each other?
The fact is that it is easy to love those treat you kindly and who you feel good and comfortable with, and who are nice to you. It's easy of course to love a baby, who could hate a baby? Nobody of course could.So it's no great acheivement to say you love a new born baby, it's natural to most of us.
But the fact is that to "Love Thy Neighbour" can be the biggest challenge of all. Bearing in mind that by "neighbour" we are not talking necessarily about the person who happens to live next door to you. "Neighbour" in this context simply means another human being. Now, I am not going to be one of those that comes on here and preaches but let me just say what nobody on this thread is willing to admit. There are people in this world who are a CHALLENGE to love! When I say love, in this context, I mean just to be kind to, not to hate, to be tolerant of, you know what I mean?

Now tell me you never hate and it's easy to love.

Not in mine either, Nulii, but we are all human, and we have all come across those "challenges" in our life, whether we all admit it or not.
Oh, decking, yes good idea, hee hee
aramaya: loving is easier,,hating takes way to much energy...
Right ON!
Nuliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Who couldn't love you ?

but what sort of "love" are we talking about? Love for our fellow humans is very different from "love" for our special person.
Jeepsssssssssssssssssssssssssss 
hoolet: but what sort of "love" are we talking about? Love for our fellow humans is very different from "love" for our special person.
I find it hard to love some humans, but I don't hate them. But for the people whom I like, there is a special love for each individual. Does this make any sense at all ? 
What can I say is that Loving is a beautiful thing to do, whereas Hating someone its very strenous. The two values are not easy, and that also depends on who to love or to hate.

So, what's your stand for me may I know?

Hi Hoolet,
Sorry for the delay in replying, in my post on this thread I was referring to love for our fellow humans, because in my opinion it is obviously easy to love your special person, otherwise they wouldn't be your special person would they?
Thats why I assumed the OP was referring to love for our fellow humans. But maybe I got that wrong?
Maybe Im lazy buuuut hate just seems like a whole lotta work to me
It depends on whom you ask.
Humanitarians, philanthropists, philosophers and most musicians are unanimously in agreement about love; hedonists are also up there on the list and so are the narcissists, but a bit lost in translation. Who are the haters? I could definitely list a few there, or a few more....can you?

Well in answer to the thread...to love is MUCH easier, from the point of view of personal well-being. However, people do and say things which do not meet with our own personal vision of the truth and produce anger in us which can turn to hate, if permitted. Self-control and awareness is the key to allowing the loving feelings to surface. Hate is a very strong and nasty word and feeling, as are most of the opposites of "good".
Love & Hate are running unlimited meters of track race hurdles or even the track might be circular.
Let those run by their own way… in the mean time thanks to everyone who took part already at this poll with valuable comments and advance thanks to them who will come later.

To love its easy, to hate its hard because its not easy to forget and to forgive.
Love comes naturally, hate is something you have to work at 
I was taught from childhood never to hate anyone but to feel sorry for them.
Ccincy: I was taught from childhood never to hate anyone but to feel sorry for them.
Albertaghost: ON the hate portion, being a rationale human, I would find it difficult to hate something or somebody tht I didn't have an emotional connection with.
I agree with this.
Love and Hate are two sides of the one coin. Everyone who has any emotions of any kind, feels both at some point in their life. You cannot hate someone who you have no emotional connection with. You can dislike someone or what they stand for, but Hate is a strong emotion and you cannot feel it for someone who you are not connected personally to.
This thread is full of people saying "Love is easy, Hate is hard, takes too much energy". But if you don't ever feel hate at any point in your life, you don't feel strong emotions of any kind, including love. We all feel. The hard part is not acting on negative feelings. Anyone who denies they ever have negative feelings is telling a lie.
To Love is easy.....when its the right person,
To Hate is easy.....when someone has hurt you,
but most of us can manage to put that feeling aside and not act to hurt the person who makes us feel that way. It's called being adult, or being christian if you like. It takes energy to be able to walk away from that feeling.
Come on, folks , admit it, there was a time at some point in your life when you had to take a deep breath and use every bit of energy you have to walk away and not hate! Admit it! Be honest!
I am not afraid to admit that , a long time ago, in the past, I had strong feelings about a person who hurt me and I think that feeling was close to hate. It would have been easy to keep that feeling that way, it took a while to rid myself of the feeling, it was not healthy, but I did it. I got over it, without harming anyone.
Will no one else admit this? I bet not, you're all to worried about what what others think of you.
venusenvy: Love comes naturally, hate is something you have to work at
SOMETIMES , not to hate is something you have to work at
it is easier, healthier, and less stressful to love - all that is required is an open heart
all that is requried to hate is ignorance and personally I find that a difficult state of mind....just sayin'
