Is there someone that you really hate? Someone you hope you’ve never met before…or someone who you wished for all the world’s misfortunes to fall upon him. Cruel eh? Maybe not that bad…but surely, there is someone who u kinda hate in life……be it ur boss, your friends, siblings, relatives, or just a stranger who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

But will it make you feel better to hate someone? Short term…yes…it might help you feel more ‘satisfied’ especially if that “enemy” of yours suffers something bad. But NO…in the long run, it won’t help you feel good. Even if the person got erased from this world, what good will it bring for you? If you hate him, u most probably won’t even talk or go near to him…….so erasing him from this world, logically speaking, wouldn’t have any impact on you.

Honestly, i think you’ll feel more tired and more disturbed by hating somoene……than actually ignore the person. If you ignore him, you can use your attention and time on other more useful stuff …….or better, invest the time n efforts on people who are more worthy of your time. If you hate someone, in order to keep that hatred, you will need to have that person always in your mind………constantly. Isn’t that disturbing?

Furthermore, there could’ve been some hidden reasons as to why that person did that “something” which made you hate him. I believe if you hated him so much, you wouldn’t even care to ask! And to make things worse, some people wouldn’t even care to explain themselves.

So there you go……hating someone for the rest of your life without knowing if that person is really wrong.

Well, all i can say is, if that person used to be someone you know, just let it go. You can choose not to talk to the person…..but just let the hatred goes away slowly.

If it is someone…maybe a criminal… who you hardly know….hating him will not bring him to justice. Just leave it…and hope that the police will bring him to justice. There’s nothing you can change even if you hate him with all your heart.

Hope it helps.

p/s….. i used to hate this friend of mine in primary school. He betrayed my friendship by submitting my name to the teacher as one of the students involved in a fight or something. And i didn’t do it. I cried…not because i was scared, but because i was betrayed. And i hated him for few years…and i felt terrible. Now, we’re good friends again. It’s funny how a simple misunderstanding can generate so much hatred.

p/s…. in form 3, a friend of mine said something which offended me. I chose not to talk to him…and with the help of some troublemakers, our misunderstanding evolved into a cold war. We didn’t talk for more than 1 year. In the end, i made the first move and now, we’re good friends again. True, during that period, i hated him for being so childish. But i should’ve realized that i myself, was behaving childishly.
