people that hate do not have a well developed sense of empathy. with empathy, one can see and think and feel as someone else and then realize that the other person is just like them. they can realize why the other person acts the way they do and can understand them. it is hard to hate when you no longer think of the other person as some inhuman beast that wants to get you. in war-time, governments often dehumanize the enemy through propaganda to make people and soldiers hate their enemy. they will compare the enemy to vermin, diseases, etc because it is hard to kill a fellow thinking, feeling human compared to a dirty disease infested rat. we would be a very peaceful society of people if empathy was highly valued. always look at things from other people's point of view and it will clear up why they act the way they do and say what they say.
