Love your enemies

[ChristineM]

Who is pinning the hate label on you guys?

I'm just saying people who experience horrible things that can't forgive may have internalized hate. When you have hate (replace any negative feeling) for someone else based on someone else's behavior, it prevents one from expressing forgiveness, compassion, and love.

It's a psychological thing. Generalizations doesn't need to be taken seriously. A lot of topics are generalized as to explain a point. It's not personal.

Edit. As for @Fool, I'm not sure if I read it wrong. He'd have to clarify it if I misread what he was trying to say.

It s interesting that of all the times that @Audie and i explain the word hate is still being thrown about.

A contextual language that is documented, good dictionaries include all definitions, slang and colloquialisms.

If one does not go by the accepted definition then how is anyone supposed to understand?

I love my girlfriend, humanity, parent, and myself are all different based on context.

I'm sure you understand contextual language?

 

[ChristineM]

That's why we have thesaurus and slang dictionaries among other things. It's to put context to words so they won't be taken verbatim. Emotions and other abstract words are contextual. I love my mother differently than I love my friend. Yet, I use the same word just the context is different. I love humanity and I love my girlfriend. I use the same word but of course you know it's not the same.

And you use the same emotion just filtered differently.

Don't take it personally. Internalized hate because of negative situations can prevent forgiveness. Usually forgiveness is an expression of love.

If you don't like the word hate, use another word. It's a psychological thing. Many people develop internalized negative feelings based on terrible experiences. This prevents them from (if need be) showing forgiveness. Forgiveness is an expression of love.

If hate is a trigger word, use another. The point is the same.

And i sure you understand it is not required to be universal

No. Think about it before accusing me wrong (or saying I'm wrong, however you interpret the statement).

Unless you can prove love is the same for my mother, stranger, and friend, I'm not sure you're getting it.

I never said that. I said it's subjective above.

The word hate is not the problem, labeling people with the word when you cannot understand (or so if seems) is the problem

MRI scans show the emotion is centred around the same area of the brain. The brain interprets the emotion differently as required

Not in the post i answered.

Do you believe you can love your enemies?

If so, would it make sense to call the person you love an enemy?

Love your enemies means for example loving (and forgiving) Hitler.

Do you love your enemies?

First you have to love the person you witness in the mirror every morning.

And I fail at it.

It's better to respect your enemies.....but only when you can love what you see in the mirror.

If you can't do that....you can't respect anything.

Who? You.

How did I label people?

Are you mixing up Fool and me?

How does this have to do with the context in which the word is used?

Are you saying English isn't a contextual language?

I don't know if you read all my posts. They are long.

Good point. That is something we all need to work on. I was just listening to Man in the Mirror by Michael. Seem to be appropriate at this time.

Who? You.

I don't like sarcasm.

Where did I pin it on you guys?

Are you mistaking me for Fool? I know you guys (or someone) was talking about hate between him.

If it is "may have" rather than "do have" then fine,
and complaint retracted.

No sarcasm used in my post. I am trying hard to
cure myself.

I attempted to conversate Fool but exited that.
You're no fool. (Sorry i only did what I had to do)

Okay. I'm still confused. Where did I pin it on you guys?

See my post 212 above

Second line of your post I was quoting.

You are pry right that there was spill over
from what Fool was saying.
