Hate
by Leigh Martinuzzi
“The people we discriminate against in our public policies and in our culture are also the groups of people most likely to be bullied in school. That is not a coincidence. That’s hate!” Sally Kohn
Hate is an intense dislike for someone or something.Why do we hate? Perhaps the primary reason for the hate is that we believe that someone or something may bring threat to our survival. A threat to our tribe. A threat to our Self, our ego!Humans need to belong. We need to be part of a group. It not only satiates our sense of well-being, importance and meaning in life but a group provides us protection. These things are essential to our survival. A threat to our ability to meet this need, real or perceived, produces hate.That is the topic of today’s podcast – Hate. What is it? Why does it exist? How does it work? And how do we overcome it?
