Why do we “hate” people?
by marteandkristin
Hello people!
Today I wanted to talk about hate. The huge reason for why I choose this picture, is because maaaaaaany people “hate” Justin Bieber. First of all, I gotta say, I LOOOOOVE HIM!!!! Hahahhaha Yes, I am one of those “Belibers” 
Many people might find this very “jailbait” ( do you use that word? In Norway, that is the term of girls who act very childish, but at the same time trying to be like adults). We might lose some followers or readers because of this post, but the theme of the post is hate. Why do we hate people? Is it because of jealousy? Anger? The satisfaction by promote yourself as a better person? To be honest, I think it is jealousy. When we are jealous, negative thoughts spin inside our heads. We think “why doesn’t I have that?”, “why is he/she better than me?”, “I wanna be like her” etc… Only negative thoughts. And that ruins a lot! Mostly, it ruins for ourself.
So back to Justin Bieber. It is perfectly legally to don’t like an artists music. It is normal, and acceptable. But, why hate him? He is only 18 years old. He is still a teenager, and he has been criticiced since he was 14 and posted his music videos on Youtube. He was in a vulnerable age, and no wonder he had so many negative thoughts. He has achieved lot, he has won several prices, released many albums and he has a great voice (I think so, and 40 million other people). My point is, to all of you haters, why even bother to hate him? You use incredible lot of energy, in a negative way, that only cause you more negative things… And yes, I do “hate” some artists myself… I need to let go of these thoughts.
Everyone is allowed to have their own opinion, and I am just 17

hi, Marte.
What a wonderful post! You are asking the right question, and I agree that word is really strong, which too often is misused or applied to situations where ‘jealousy’ is the real sentiment. Perhaps those people should shout, “I Jealous you!” Although life does teach you that there are some hateful people not defined by their accomplishments but by their lack of heart and compassion. Look forward to your posts…

I am 67 and tnhe only one that suffers with our hate is ourselves. We need to spread all thev good things we can. Even if we can only touch one person that is one person out of thr hate line.
Great posting,
Nice post. I agree. some people are just negative and crappy. Don’t let them take up your brain space.
Hate is often just an expression of jealousy. Many people “hate” Bieber because he makes $35 million a year at the age of 18. They perceive it as unfair.
I also find things that are unfair, but they are not of my choosing or doing, so why hate them? Doesn’t make sense to me.
I choose not to use the word “hate” because I don’t hate anything. I dislike some things, some people, etc., but hate just isn’t in my body.
One thing I do know is that if you want to make a lot of money in this world, do it by entertaining other people. Working hard won’t make you rich, but entertaining hard will. Look at the entertainers: sports, music, film, television, etc. All entertainers. Even the best business people are those who have found a way to entertain us: Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg…. All rich because they found a way to entertain the masses.
I can’t say I have any opinions about Justin Bieber, one way or another LOL But you raise an interesting question – I nearly wrote a blog post about emotions a few days ago because, to be honest, love and hate confuse the hell out of me LOL
I mean, I obviously know the difference and I understand the need for universal, spiritual love, but what’s the deal with romantic love? I mean, really? Why do we feel such strong emotions – whether they be positive or negative – toward an individual or group of people?
I think there are many, many causes and given any one scenario, I think there is rarely a single cause for that scenario. I honestly haven’t figured it all out yet.
But then, we could figure it all out, the world would be a better place, wouldn’t it?
(Sorry this isn’t deeper and more philosophical. I probably shouldn’t reply to blogs at midnight, when I’m tired LOL)
JB is one of my boy crushes too! Even though he’s jail bait! In American jail bait is a boy or girl who is too young to be your partner. The analogy is they are so young you will go to jail for dating them! But I love JB!! More than my kids!
funny i used to think he was just oversensationalized until my curiosity got the better of me. after i listened to his albums, i became a fan.
I like Justin’s music. It makes me happy when I listen. I think that some people don’t like him because they are afraid that other people will make fun of them if they say they do. It’s almost like it’s cool to not like him. IDK.
ummm.. i think people (i mean myself at least) don’t hate Justin Bieber, its just … his fans are so… (and im pretty sure you’re not one of them, or I hope…) let’s say emotional and persistent… nicely written though, everyone would pay for a world without hate, but why cant they understand that it starts with themselves?
I can promise you, that I am FAR FROM AS EXTREME
But I really do like him 
Thank Heavens… haha.. im neutral.. ;p
In the US “jailbate” is a term used for a girl who is too young to consent to sex (and therefore will land the man in jail.)
Why do people hate? Because they hate themselves. It makes them feel superior if they can build themselves up by putting others down.
No matter who you are, there will always be haters. I feel sorry for them because there are much better ways to spend your energy.
I have chosen to love, hate is too great a burden to bear.
Ignore them Justin, just do you.
Really? :O Haha my teacher said that it meant something else
That doesn’t really makes any sense if it means that… 
If we take the time to, hate, we’ve taken appropriate time to be hated.
Those that hate, perpetuate it. They are miserable, and would like to drag everybody down, with them. He asked, ‘How would you like your whole reason for existence to be, miserable, like them?’
My Father once told me of his ‘hate’ for, hate, and the haters. He said, those involved in such a travesty only bring more of it with them.
