why its easier for people to hate than love?

I suppose because love requires understanding, compromise, and sacrifice. Hate, on the other hand, requires none of those. It's the "easier" emotional state--but by far the less rewarding one.

It is better to be hated for who you are than loved for who you are not.

People hate what they don't understand or what they fear. Isn't it peculiar to have one religion "hate" another religion. God must really love that.

Definitely forgotten. Someone once told me that the oposite of love is not hate, it is apathy. At least with hate, you still have some emotional connection, even if it is only his/her very strong desire to see a house fall upon you. With apathy, you wouldn't even get an "Oh really, a house fell on him/her? Too bad, big mess."

I believe it has to be triggered by other emotions. Just like love is also. To be in love, or to hate, is to have feelings provoked by other things. Someone would hate someone else because they are angry because of something that was said or done. Maybe they are jealous because they have something or someone.

Ignorance and greed, in my opinion cause hatred.  I don't know where you are from, but I think most people are good at heart.  Fear is a negative thing too.  People fear what they don't understand.

People can hurt the ones they love. It's often easier than hurting complete strangers.

actually its the other way around it takes much more energy to hate than to love. Love can come easier and its more soothing on your physic. To hate disrupts your entire body and well being.....PEACE OUT.....Good luck

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.

Because you are a TRUE lover of music you can appreciate all types.  People that hate are people that don't understand.  They are so narrow minded and one sided that it's actually sad for them that they can never broaden their horizons and be a true lover of music for a true appreciation of the arts.

because if people stopped loving eachother, there is no hope for humanity. \n     humans are created out of love, so it is paradoxical if we do not love in return\n     loving people rather than hating them can make you live longer.\n     Maybe if serial killers and rapists were loved when they were younger, they wouldnt have become such evil people, who knows? Everyone deserves a chance\n     Humans were created in God's image, and God loves everyone, so we should too

People are scared of things they don't understand, and "Hate" is the result.\n\nIf you or something you like is being hated, it is never the fault of the person or thing being hated... it is the fault of the person who is DOING the hating. THEY are uncomfortable.\n\nYou can apply this to anything in your life... music, people, lifestyles etc.

Because it's easier. Because it doesn't require them to come up with their own ideas as to what is 'right' and what is 'wrong'. Because it's easier to make a snap judgement on a person. Because people are strange little creatures. Because when all is said and done most people don't want to put the effort into enriching their lives by understanding how someone else might view the world. Because it's easier to follow rules in a book and then pick and choose those that you like and disregard those that you don't really care for. Because it feels good to judge other people. Because saying that someone is doing something wrong makes the things you're doing wrong in your own life seem smaller.  \n\nThere are so many reasons as to why this happens out there. Mostly I think it happens when closed minded people start trying to 'help' others find 'happiness'. Sure, they want you to be happy..but their methods aren't always right. People like that..should be ignored.

Love is one of the most powerful forces in the universe. It is always worth it.       Hate usually  stands alone.. Love is never alone.

People love to hate.  And nothing will bring more people from different backgrounds together than hate, it makes people feel good to be able to look down on others and feel better about themselves.  It is very sad and I believe what goes around comes around for all of us.
