I think its possible most people hate CEOs. Sort of like hating politicians, surely theres some good ones but on the whole, awful people.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

If most people hated CEOs, that would mean most people were capable of hating, which means we're even more fucked in this world than I thought we were. I don't hate. I see that some people are a threat to society and need to be kept from harming the latter - but I recognize that for people to be capable of atrocities, something in their brain development has gone terribly wrong at some point in the past. So I don't hate them, in the same way I don't hate a virus that kills people - while still recognizing the need for a cure / vaccine.

Hate is just an emotion. Emotions aren't permanent, they are tied to moments. Surely theres situations you can think of that would at least cause a fleeting sensation of hate. Everyone has to deal with their emotions and thoughts, and we dont always get to pick which emotions and thoughts present themselves.

The only expectation we should have is that people at least try to improve their reactions to thoughts and emotions they would rather not have.

I dont believe for a second you are truly without hate all the time, thats not possible.

Well luckily I am not bound by what you believe :) I - figuratively - hate financial / economical / political systems - and I might occasionally say "I hate that ", only to correct myself right after with "no, I despise them". But I don't feel hate towards anyone. Because hate ruins my own day and our time on this planet is too precious for that. Especially - why would I give any asshole free real estate in my mind by preoccupying myself with them when they clearly do not deserve the attention?

I'm saying that moment before you correct yourself, you do feel hate. You choose to disregard hate, thats not the same as not having it at all. Similar to disregarding pain vs not feeling it at all.

Not even then. I correct myself because "I hate xy" is a figure of speech that I wrongly use.

That's the most Divided States of America citizen-like dumb answer. You're telling me what I feel? Lol, sod off.
