why do so many people have so much hate in their hearts?

That is a great question I've been trying to answer for a long time. \n\nHere's what I suspect. \n\nHatred usually stems from one of two primary causes, fear and ignorance. Anger can also play a key role in hatred. \n\nPeople who hate usually hate because they are fearful of those they hate, and/or they are ignorant of those they hate. \n\nFear is a powerful motivator. It can be used by political leaders to coerce masses of people to hate other groups. This is usually the case where you see regional groups of those who hate. \n\nFor example, the Ku Klux Klan. Why do they hate those who are different? They grow up in a culture that is ignorant and fearful. The ignorance and fear is utilized to reinforce their bigoted world view. It's perpetuated by regional culture. \n\nThe trick to dispelling it, is to insure that people are educated and exposed to the truth of things. \n\nSo, I would say the level of hate in people's hearts is rooted in fear and ignorance.\n\nOn the plus side, I think most people want peace. So there is hope for the human race. We just have to be able to look past our fears and ignorance. \n\nBottom line all people basically want the same things. Why fight with each other, when we can work together for our own mutual benefit?

Because two people loving each other is just OUTRAGEOUS! We all know that that's what this nation needs, more hate. *sarcasm*

There is not enough being done to stop the hatred and as long as people view others as a threat they are not going to help them.  It shouldn't be this way but the fact is that most people won't open their door to someone they don't know even if that person is in need...they don't want to get involved and that is sad.  Many an innocent person is hurt everyday because of ignorance but until people see one another as equals it is inevitable it will ever change.

People who don't like others because they are different are ignorant. People often fear what they don't understand, and ignorant people only like others like themselves because they understand and can relate to people similar to themselves, but those that are differnt because of lifestyle, race, language ect. they don't understand and there for fear. Of course they don't say that's why they dislike someone, or a group of people, but that is why. These type of people are not to be hated for their ignorance,they should be pittied, because they live sad scarred, small close minded ignorant angry life, surrounded by other sad pathetic close minded ignorant people just like them:-)

Because everyone has to complain about something.  I'm not sure why but in this day and age it seems more and more people become more and more selfish, completely lose their manners, and have to argue about every last thing to always be right.  Its called in-humanization (I have no idea if thats a real word).  The truth is no matter who was the president everyone would hate them or think that they are not doing their job.  No matter what race everyone always thinks that certain people deserve more than others. Finally, no matter what war, people think that we are either taking to much control or not enough. They react violently because its in their argumentative nature.  I personally feel their momma's should have raised them right.

Because people in this world are stupid, fearful, and/or mean.  There is a lot more to it, but basically everyone who is expressing hatred of any kind falls into one of those three categories.  Stupid, fearful, or mean.

People's intolerance and ingorance about things such as religion and other aspects that they know little about. Most hatred comes from ignorance and a lack of understanding and perhaps by eliminating it, peace would be an attainable posibility in a world that is too focused on violence and negativity.

I cannot hate people, but I do hate some of things people do..especially to each other.  It is so much easier to love.  Hate burns a lot of energy.

IGNORANT people of the world have problems with anyone they see as 'different.' It is fear of the unknown...and it is sad how much suffering in the world is created from it!

Hate is an emotion.  Everyone knows hate in some way.  It's impossible not to have some hate even if it is only in our thoughts.  Christians hate and they can't stop themselves from it happening.  It would be sinful to hate so a lot of Christians refuse to admit they hate at all.

I agree. We're all the same and we are all equal. Unfortunately too many people live in fear, and will transfer that fear onto others in the form of hate. All it does to me is show how insecure the haters are in themselves.

It's not that easy...history is history...the only way that people would stop hating would be if everyone had a sudden case of acute amnesia. I wish everyday that everyone would get along. Sometimes people are nice but other times you don't have the energy to deal with it.

Everyone is flawed in major ways. We are all driven by feelings, emotions and this just totally messes up with the logic that is everyones dream: Trust and Love. The solution is to not give up hope, because there are still some cool people out there that are honest and genuine. Everyone else is a slave to their own small fears, prejudices and silly mood changing crap. Dont accept it from anyone.

Its because they know almost nothing about a group of people, people who don't understand people either try to understand people or choose the easier rout and simply hate them.  Mostly they don't want to understand these people because even before they know anything about these people, they feel threatened or scared.  Whether it be because the threat of lost jobs, terrorism, or something else.  Hate is just the easier path despite it not being the better one, and as for War its the larger scale of that hate.
