The Science Of Hate

By zevi770 · January 13, 2014

Hate is in fact a highly complex specialized emotion.

The lower a life form, the less it hates.

Rocks seem to hold their peace pretty good.

Vegetables in fact are sensitive, but we have yet to hear them curse someone out.

Bacteria etc. well don’t.

But animals, is something we can observe.

Do dogs – man’s best friend hate? – to be honest, they don’t hate, they have instincts.

Animals are based not on hate, rather on fear or love; they fear, hence perhaps fight/fight instincts, and there is certain things they love, and that’s that!

But as animals become closer to humans, apes and monkeys, we begin to see the emotion of jealousy.

Jealousy is the cause of ninety percent of hate.

You see hate relates to self-perception.

This is called ego.

If you cannot perceive your existence, only how things make you feel, as all lower animals act on; so you stay away from displeasure or pain and you are automatically attracted to pleasure…

But what happens once you develop a perception of yourself?

You now have a really really big problem!

This problem is called entitlement!

As you perceive yourself in certain light, together with this perception, you believe you are entitled to what goes with your “territory.”

This is why there is a simple, yet absolutely poignant difference between jealousy found – now forgive me, I am not a racist and this a complement, not derogatory, but the fact remains – black and whites visa-vie antisemitism.

Antisemitism is perhaps the oldest best known form of hatred.

An insane virus which in country after country, land after land, seemingly rational people – heck the Germans were those most advanced in humanities – how people should humanely treat each other – and yet Jews – in actual fact those with the highest moral standards, were singled out for the most barbaric persecution, extermination, shame etc. etc.

This is a fact.

Now we don’t do anything unless we have an emotional reason to; we either love, fear or hate.

So what is behind antisemitism, and more to the point of this point, how come we found the worst antisemitism, particularly amongst the most cultured people, and the backwards tribal blacks, we find, never engaged in antisemitism?!

One would think it should be the opposite (and ironically, it is precisely when blacks become cultured, or perceive themselves to be, that we do begin to see the ugly virus of antisemitism sprouting.)

So the answer is very simple, antisemitism is founded in jealousy of the kind-heartedness of the Jews.

As Einstein who had to flee Nazism said, Germans couldn’t be against Jews as a race, because Jews come from every race; but as he clarifies, and as Hitler clearly said, the Germans were against the kind-heartedness, the social justice which all Jews support.

But what’s wrong with social justice? What’s there to be jealous about, a heart that has compassion?

The answer is happiness.

Love creates joy and the angry arrogant heart, is filled with resentment.

Now let’s get back to the reason why we don’t find antisemitism with blacks – again not being a racist, but having lived in Africa for over ten years I certainly am qualified to write this – for better or worse blacks don’t see themselves as entitled people – they are actually very humble – and precisely because they are humble, they are not jealous.

Because to be jealous of what another has, you must feel entitled.

And this answers the reason why the more cultured people were, the more antisemetic they became – with the proviso of course, that they were unhappy people – because the more their sense of grandeur was felt, the more jealousy, hence hate they had toward those who had, what they felt entitled to.

Nowhere is this best described, than in the wicked queen and snow-white – the queen perceived herself to be entitled to be “the fairest in the world,” which is why, though snow-white was poor and in a unenviable position, the queen could find no internal respite until she eliminated – in her mind, “opponent.”
