Hate and Dislike


Hate is conceived from pride. It is nourished by guilt and thrives in fear. Dislike is the lack of acceptance. Hate can be seen as power or weakness. Hate is open-minded; it does not require an object to focus on, but when it has a target, its wrath is destructive. Dislike is indifferent and yet prejudice. When you dislike something, it's unacceptable - a nuisance that can easily be ignored. When you hate something, you have passionate loathe that ignites and engulfs you in its fire. Hate is the seed, Dislike is the nutrients, and chaos the flower that blooms.
