I know about hating fathers and mothers. I know because my Mom was a patholigical liar, manipulater, materialist, drug addict, a drunk and was schizo and bipolar. I loved her, I did not like her but I loved her dearly. She was not a good person but, she tried. She was not a good mother or wife but she tried. It was not good enough for most of her children. In the end I was the only one that voluntarily spoke to her every week. I knew what she was and accepted that, so I was able to love her because what was in my mom is in me too. How could I love myself if I did not love that which of her. If I hated her I would have to hate myself and my family for they have her within them also. I prefer loving and accepting the bad and the good. She did try to the best of her ability even though it did not seem so. Grudges and hate do more to tear yourself apart then it does to help. Let go and see that perhaps your Dad has things within that are beyond his ability to control. If he claims you as daughter then that says he tries and that says he does care. Start with that then see more.
o kris—thanks. what if it is not as strong as hate
but extreme dislike, revulsion, and disrespect. could you still like yourself. ill have to think about that getting laid stuff.
Not really but it can be.
A really good lay is when both are mentally and physically sated.
Emotions are transitory or passioante. To hate or to lust are the most passionate of all emotions. They tend to become obssessive.That is one very good reason to not hate.
Like what? We all experience it at least once in our lives. for me it burned red hot like anger everytime I thought of the person. The thought of hate was there every day until I let go. I realized it was there constantly, that person would be in my mind at the drop of a hat and the hate would flood me. In a way it felt good, that was the danger. Hate and lust/desire can make us feel alive through the chemicals our bodies produce during it ,it creates an addiction. It keeps us from moving on and growing like any addiction does.
It can include any thought good or bad that you want it to. If you hate someone that has issues with rabbits, you could imagine putting them in a room filled with cute cuddly bunnies. But beware of the thoughts that are so. They tend to fester and sometimes in the heat of passion we act upon them or we become so obsessed that we eventually act upon them.
Well, yes, it does but not always. The killings in Tucson recently shows that. Its an extreme case of obsessive hate. Sure at points you may wish that person dead, but generally we don’t actually want to kill them anymore, society has about bred that one out of us. You may wish to kill that person at your lowest points of emotional stress and fatigue. If you reach that point and do not leave it, seek help, thats a dangerous place to be.
