When I think about it, and I don't know if I really like to think about it, but when I think about it, I actually dislike a lot of people.
I wouldn't say I hate a lot of people, but I definitely dislike a lot of people.
Now, to me, there's a big difference between dislike and hate.
To me, the definition of dislike is simply a feeling of aversion or disapproval, just not being fond of someone.
Whereas the definition of hate is intense or passionate dislike.
When I think of hate, I think of an extreme form of dislike.
I don't know if this is necessarily perfectly correct definition wise, but for the sake of today's conversation, I'm going to distinguish dislike and hate by the level of intensity and the level that it impacts the person experiencing the feeling.
For the sake of today's conversation, let's look at dislike as more of a subtle feeling that can be much more easily controlled.
And let's look at hatred as a feeling that's much more reckless and spellbinding and intense, and at times uncontrollable.
Dislike is much easier to hide.
You can smile and wave when you dislike somebody, but when you hate somebody, it's much harder.
You might be able to smile and wave, but you might also erupt.
Like.
Who knows?
I feel like hate is much more consuming.
In a way, dislike can be something that just sort of lingers in the back of your mind.
I want to discuss disliking people rather than hating people today because I find dislike to be much more complex.
Hatred is much easier to analyze.
To me.
Okay.
