188 refers to "some" people. Psychologically, people tend to internalized hate (or whatever negative emotion) when they react to someone who has wronged them. It's a psychological thing. There's also a term that hate is internalized depression (Depression is More Than Just Sadness: A Case of Excessive Anger and Its Management in Depression Although this is talking about depression illness, high level emotions can be internalized and expressed themselves as something else. Hate included.)

Of course I mentioned "some" and "may" so you'd have to clarify where you're talking about here.

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

In other words, forgiveness can be caused by internalized hate. I'm not sure why you're reacting to this?

204: 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.

Since you're getting fired up about the word hate, use another word. The point is the same. Psychologically people develop internalized negative feelings based on terrible experienced. This prevents them from IF need be showing forgiveness. Forgiveness is an expression of love.

Edit. Are you hooked on the generalization of "people"?

I read this repeatedly, clarify where you're talking about


I am not getting fired up about the word hate, i am getting peed of at the misrepresentation or ignorant of the word indifference. You want to continue ignoring indifference and substituting it with hate then that is up to you, but dont do surprised at my comments

I reread it. Emotions in the same area of the brain doesn't relate to emotions and other abstract words are defined by their context. Regardless how the emotions are processed, that doesn't change the love for one's mother is different than the love for a stranger out of humanity. Contextual means that other factors are involved that make up this "definition". Such as the type of relationship two people have (parent, stranger, friend). Environmental culture. Religion. A person's behavior with other people. Their level of trust.

The dictionary doesn't explain context and brain scans just tell you how the emotions are created.

I'm not sure why you're not understanding this???


You demanded, i provided. End of story

And i am unsure why you are not understanding fact

You were questioning me on a topic or statement already said in one of my posts. I can't remember now. Since skimming or reading part of it or course lets you miss a couple of points, it's helpful to bring it up. Whether you re-read it or not is your choice, but I do offer clarification if asked since its, well, my post.

This is getting is nowhere.

I /we take it personally if you think you are talking about
something that relates to us.

I do not forgive, absolutely do not and never will.

Do I have "internalized hate"? No. I am (personally)
not fired up about the word, but, I am annoyed by
the persistent assertion that I hate (by any other
name) a person I do not hate.

I can look into my gizzard for hate, and there is nothing
there.
Now, if I saw him again, I would be transfixed with terror,
no doubt.
Much as one might be if again encountering a rabid
bear that had hospitalized you earlier.
That is not hate.

Is there a problem accepting what C or I say about this?

There obviously is a problem in that it does not fit their preconceived ideas

I'm trying to look through what you guys are talking about first before I form an opinion either way. This is bunched together.

It's hard to quote. If you can make it one paragraph or put space between the sentences, I can quote it.

Not getting it?

The personal reaction to my post?

Okay.

Okay. This wasn't aimed at you, just people in general. It's a psychological thing not an opinion.

Okay. That doesn't depreciate that some people may have internalized hate based on their negative experiences and lack of forgiveness.

Yes. I'm trying to figure out why you guys are challenging me over a psychological fact.

Oh. The indifference part. I have to find that somewhere. I know you said something about it but I wasn't challenging you by the comment. I don't remember what I said.

"You want to keep ignoring..." is assuming (even though I'm asking) I know what you're talking about. Don't assume and ask for clarification.

Cause you're getting annoyed over more than a few posts about indifference, grammar, and hate and all of that. I moved passed it but now I'm confused of why you're attacking me over these posts. (I would go through examples of this; but I'll hope you take my point and not my words).

Edit. Maybe you can explain it better than Christine.

You can quit trying to figure, nobody is
challenging a psychological fact.

sheesh, i am not annoyed, it takes much more than a few posts to annoy me. I am disagreeing with you based on my experience of real life. Sorry if that cause you a problem.

Then why go on about it then?

I was fine until all of this. You'd have to find the indifference post. You said you were annoyed but I can't change that without knowing what you are talking about.

The posts are there for you to see, that you repeatedly ignored them is not my problem.

I actually said i was peed off, considerably different than annoyed.

Christine. You used the word "annoyed" in your post. I'm acknowledging your emotions, and replying to it. Having feelings of frustration, annoyance, Whatever, is natural when you're trying to get a point across and the other isn't getting it. It's human.

Please show me where i said annoyed, i have been back 3 pages and can only assume you are confusing me with Audie.

And there you go again painting me with your imagination
