Do you know why you sometimes meet people who hate you for no apparent reason?

Hatters are one of the most important indicators that you are actually doing something worthwhile.

You may not know that haters see others as enemies, not people. They are emotionally incompetent — that’s why they like to hate.

Silent haters are the most dangerous. They know almost everything about you, but you will never know about it. These haters are mean, sometimes they are persecutors. Often serial killers are silent haters. Be careful with this guy.

The worst thing, in fact, is not even that hatred is considered normal, what is worse is that such destructive behavior is socially acceptable.

Instead of using their emotions and intellect to do the best they can, haters focus on harming those they consider enemies.

The haters’ primitive ability to divide people into friends and enemies made sense in primitive times, when the world was unknown and threatening. But it is completely irrational, after centuries of development and improvements in education and technology, to still feel under constant threat from a hater attack.

The hatred we encounter every day among the people around us and we see on social media does us no good as a society.

Hatters see hatred as a way to protect their self-esteem or interests. It makes them feel cool, gives them imaginary power.

Hatred is personal to the attacker, it is in the eyes of the hater, not in the eyes of the victim. People hate those who think or look different from them.

Avoiding a useless battle is a powerful and effective answer, because haters also like to be hated if you just disappear from their horizon — they will soon find another enemy.

No one wins the war of hatred.

As Martin Luther King puts it: “Darkness cannot drive away darkness: only light can do that. You can’t banish hatred with hatred … “

Freedom requires self-regulation — we are free and can express our opinions openly, but that does not mean that we should attack and hate those who do not share our beliefs.

Tolerance is a two-way street. If you want people to respect you, you have to follow the same rules.

Even animals don’t hate, and we humans should be better than them …
