The action of hating is closely related to the feeling of hatred, defined by the psychology as one of the feelings negative and destructive human beings can have. Hating someone, something or a particular situation always has to do with the presence of feelings of contempt, fear, resentment or envy towards the object of our hatred. In general, the feelings of hatred and the consequent actions of hating generate highly violent both for the person who feels them and for third parties, these may or may not be linked to whom hates.
According to what mental health professionals suggest, hatred is basically born out of fear or fear of a certain object, individual or situation. This fear generates in the individual who hates feelings of unsafety, instability, feelings of resentment and consequent contempt. Many times it can happen that what we hate is something that we would like to possess, dominate or know but that for reasons of force greater (both own and external) we can not achieve.
On the other hand, hatred can also be related to one's own survival of individuals since it can be established around what puts us in danger or that it can put our existence in doubt. In this sense, hatred or the action of hating must always be channeled in the appropriate way so that the individual can transform those negative feelings into positive and constructive projections in all sense.
Normally, hatred occurs in infinite and diverse areas of a person's life, some more important or relevant than others. However, the presence of hateful situations at the social or community it is undoubtedly something worrying since it can have extremely negative results for the subjects or social groups that become objects of hatred. This is so in the case of racism, xenophobia, exploitation or abuse, all results of feelings of hatred, fear and irrationality.
