MARCH 2023 50 LAST WORD b i n d a i n a@b a t e l c o . c om . b h Brig. Mohammed Bin Daina t may be strange for one of us to ask ourselves - Why do we hate this or that? And if there is, in fact, a justification, what will be the benefit for me from the feeling of hatred, which psychologists consider a negative emotion? Will it enhance my status, for example? And is it possible to replace this negative feeling with a positive one, which they call “love” that can be built upon and move away from zero point? What is really surprising is that some of us have come to love and hate just because of the difference. He hates you, for example, because you do not belong to him ethnically, or because you belong to a different religion or sect. We never thought that we are all human beings, and we belong to one race. The human race and we all live on one extended planet divided into multiple continents, languages, races, religions and colors. But the common denominator among all of us remains that we are human beings.. In short, the other is a “human” just like you.. So why do you hate him just because he disagrees with you? All analysis confirm that we were created on the instinct of love, while hatred is an acquired emotion, and we set its standards and learned them from life. As there are no specific genes in a person that control the rate and quality of his hatred for others, while love is the basis of his nature and the starting point of his ruling human tendencies. Therefore, it is natural for us to respect the other and his right to life. And as the great Greek philosopher Plato said it, “If you want your love to last.. then improve your manners.” And good manners here are to look at a person for what he is, not to give him descriptions and classify him according to concepts that are far from our nature as human beings. In love there is life, and in others there is destruction.. In the words of the philosopher David Hume, hatred is an irreducible feeling that cannot be determined at all, and often leads to the destruction of the hated and the hated together. Know that love is a psychological state that gives its owner happiness and contentment, and the human being does not live a balanced life unless his emotional structure is balanced. We should never classify people based on whims and feelings, because wisdom is the believer’s lost, wherever he finds it, he follows it, it has no religion, race or color. And whoever is fanatical to a specific religion, color or thought, then his fate is annihilation, because we were created to get to know each other and coexist on one planet.. with our contradictory ideas at times and our multiple religions and sects at other times. So do not hate, do not envy, do not separate each other, and do not boycott, and be servants of God as brothers. I Whydowehate? it isnatural forusto respectthe otherand hisright tolife
