On why hate is necessary in this world and helps refine our basic aggression.
Hate or hatred like love is one of the most personal emotions, since the expressions can be very varied and even too subtle to decipher. Hate is truly the opposite of love because the manifestation of hate is almost like the manifestation of love. This is because, in most cases, only two people, the hater and the hated one, seem to perceive the underlying dynamics of the relationship or the emotions involved and other people may not be aware of it. There can be various reasons for hatred and this could be associated with envy, fear, ideology, or issues related to power. For example, intense envy towards a sibling could make other siblings hate him or fear of repression by powerful people could generate hatred in less privileged people. Power issues can often lead to hatred or even a love-hate relationship, as a man who feels control or domination from his wife could get into power struggles or a kind of love-hate relationship. with her. A terrorist or religious group might hate people from other groups due to ideological differences.
Hate like love, needs some kind of attachment, you have to care enough for a person to hate them. Hate like love would also be quite obsessive and addictive, although as extreme (especially romantic) love for a person would lead to sexual intercourse, extreme hatred for a person would lead to violence. Thus, hatred is also a form of passion, manifesting itself as aggression rather than sex. Thus, if according to Freudian psychoanalysis, sex and aggression are our two basic instincts, love and hate are our two basic and most fundamental emotions on which all other emotions are built. A newborn child would either love his mother’s breast or hate it, he would love to be caressed and carried by his caregivers or he would hate the process and this would result in his other emotions of happiness, sadness, etc.
Taking into account how or why hatred can be manifested between individuals, it is possible to delimit the two types of hatred in people:
1. Personal hatred – This can be the dynamic with a friend or enemy, a colleague, a family member or someone you know within a social circle. Personal hatred is for people you know personally and care enough to hate. The manifestation of this type of hatred is usually subtle and only two people involved would understand or perceive the effects of the emotion. With family members such as a partner or a parent, personal hatred could manifest as a love-hate interaction as power dynamics enter the picture. Power struggles with the father or husband can often lead to this type of love-hate equation and would be reflected in your other close personal relationships. Personal hatred can often lead to more generalized forms of hatred. This leads to the next type of hatred.
two. General hatred – Therefore, hatred can be very personal or it can be more general and directed at a group. This type of hatred is directed towards certain groups or types of people and manifests itself in hatred of whites, hatred of blacks, hatred of Jews, hatred of Muslims, hatred of men, hatred of women, etc. This type of hatred is more pervasive, although it may well be triggered by personal experiences. For example, a woman with negative experiences with a man may develop hatred for all men or a black man who has faced some form of discrimination in society may develop hatred for all whites. This type of hatred could be racially motivated or gender-related and of course these have specific terms like anti-Semitism, misogyny, etc. This type of hatred is less personal and shared with other members of society and is therefore a more social form of hatred than a personal type of hatred. Terrorist groups that show hatred towards specific nations or people share this type of hatred motivated by ideological orientations. Politicians who hate members of another party are also motivated by ideological or power concerns. Therefore, general or group hatred is further classified as social hatred, sexual or gender, racial or ideological hatred.
The underlying psychological dynamics of hatred is generally explained by our need to release aggression. Aggression like sex is one of our fundamental and basic instincts and just as we need to release our sexual energies by developing sexual relationships and exploring the emotion of love, the emotion of hate helps us release our aggressive tendencies and could be critical to our well-being. to be. It is almost necessary to hate as it is necessary to love. But this does not mean that our aggressive tendencies and our hateful emotions have to be released through violence or some other kind of destructive action, the hatred we feel cannot be controlled just as love can not be controlled, but our actions about these emotions they can. be controlled. For example, you might love someone for many months or even years, but decide not to act on it and embark on a kind of platonic love affair. Similarly, it is possible to hate someone and yet continue with some kind of platonic hate relationship without becoming violent or even subtly aggressive.
Channeling or properly directing sexual or love needs through creativity and in the Freudian term “sublimation” works well because hatred and hatred can be successfully channeled through sports or other aggressive activity. Even love or sexual needs can be controlled or channeled when participating in aggressive sports. So the next time you feel the urge to unleash your passion, possibly caused by sexual or aggressive instincts, just take part in some aggressive competitive sports and you’ll feel so much better. If you feel excessive love, which is a more refined type of sexual need, you may have to engage in creative pursuits. Hate could also be, in a way, a refined form of aggression, and releasing hate through writing, debate, or constructive criticism could be a creative outlet.
Hatred, as I have tried to explain here, is not so bad, it is a form of passion, a necessary release from our aggressive instincts, and indeed a refined expression of aggression, just as love is a more refined expression of sexual desires. If love is a layer of sugar on our actual sexual desires, hate is just a layer of salt on our underlying aggressive desires. The emotion of love exists as a valve, as a filter so that human sexual expression remains controlled and civilized. Similarly, the emotion of hatred exists so that the human expression of aggression remains controlled and within bounds. You will see many posters, billboards and brochures asking people in this world to somehow “Stop hating” which seems like a kind of motto for human life. It is practically impossible to stop hatred, it is a basic human emotion, and in a civilized society it is almost necessary to hate as it is necessary to love so that there is no unbridled liberation from aggression through violence. However, what we can stop is the negative expression of hatred that manifests itself through violence and other destructive tendencies and to channel our aggressive tendencies creatively through art, literature, politics, sports, public debates. and other constructive channels of self-expression.
