Emotions are Complicated

Why would you hate someone?

Because they disagree with you.

Because they don’t walk, talk or dress like you.

Because their way of working and thinking is so different from yours.

Because they did something to offend you.

Because they said something that hurt you.

Are these reasons enough to hate?

For me, it would suffice at dislike,

Or most times even at indifference.

Because there are things worthier of my time and effort,

Then focusing my energy on something someone said or did,

That might affect me just a little bit, or sometimes not at all.

Do you hate someone?

Because for me hate is a complicated emotion to understand.
