"Hate"

BLOG SESSION

February 10th, 2018

Welcome back to our fabulous Blog Session Friends, Writers, Authors, Novelists, Poets,  Journalists, Blog Readers, Followers & Visitors.

You'll need to roll up your sleeves and pull out your Journal to take notes as we go over today's Session concerning the emotion of "Hate"...

Journal Notes

We are currently dealing with the 14th emotion ("Hate") out of our 21 emotions in relation to The Writer's Comfort Levels.

What does the word "hate" mean to you when you first hear it?

Hate summons the feeling of intense or passionate dislike for (someone) or something.  Hate also brings about an intense hostility and aversion usually deriving from fear, anger, or a sense of injury.

Make a note of those three (3) important factors as they relate to "hate":

1)  Fear;

2)  Anger; and/or a

3)  Sense of Injury.

In order to feel the emotion of "Hate", one or more of the above must be in operation.  There is either a "fear" of something or someone; an "anger" toward and/or related to something or someone; and/or a "sense of injury".

Imagine for a minute that someone hates another person because they fear that person inherently.  [For whatever reason].  Then, imagine for a minute that those fears are unfounded.

Now imagine a person hating another person because of an anger that has welled up inside of them for whatever reason.  Then, imagine for a second that the anger that is felt is totally misplaced.

Now turn your attention to the feeling of a "sense of injury".  And, imagine for a minute that someone has developed the emotion of "hate" toward another person because they have an underlying sense of injury.  Now, imagine that they are totally wrong for directing their hateful feelings because of their unfounded and misguided sense of injury.

Other words that may bring to mind the emotion of "hate" are the following synonyms:  hatred, loathing, detestation, dislike, distaste, abhorrence, aversion,  abomination, execration, hostility, odium, enmity, disgust, animosity, antipathy, revulsion, and contempt.

When dealing with the emotion of hate as a Writer, you will need to find a way to express hatred through your words as you deal with the events, interactions, feelings, emotions, and actions of your characters.

We teach our children not to use the word hate when describing something that they may dislike.  We teach young people to say, "I dislike this or that, but not I hate this or that."

Hate is a strong emotion that springs forth a new breed of what we now call the proverbial . . .

Why be a "Hater" in this day and age?

There is an underlying reason why we feel whatever emotion we may feel at any given point in time.  Trying to figure out why a person hates another person, a group of people, a certain culture, a certain race, a certain location, or any number of other items can be mind-boggling.

If you think about it for a minute, you will discover that trying to find out why people hate can be an easy or difficult task.  It all depends on the individual.  And, at the same time, knowing the reasons can help you to respond to the emotion of hate when you run into it.  Knowing why you feel what you feel on a personal level can also help you when you feel the emotion of "hate" swelling up inside of you.

People who HATE

walk around with weights on their back.

The emotion of "Hate" has a way of creeping up into the lines on your face.  Hate rolls around in your belly in a bad way.  Hate adds humps on your back, stress in your shoulders, tenseness to your muscles, and pain in your head.

Life is not pleasant for "Haters" ~ Please make a note of that.

For your Therapeutic Writing Project This Weekend

Journal your thoughts about "Love" and "Hate"

You'll discover a great deal about yourself in the process of working on your Therapeutic Writing Project this weekend.  Really think about the feelings that arise when you focus on "Love" and then when you turn your attention to the emotion of "Hate"...

Ask yourself as you think of both the emotion of "love" and then the emotion of "hate" -- do you feel the difference between the two emotions within your body?

Make a note of your feelings after you have written out your thoughts on these two emotions this weekend in your Journal.

Have a great evening, and we'll see you in our next Session!
