Love plus understanding-vs.-Hatred plus misunderstanding

 

When you love or like a person, you cannot easily misunderstand. You empathise as a sort of automatic reflex thought. It is almost impossible to misunderstand. When you do not agree with him/her, you think that person is committing an honest mistake and you may try to help the person correct. Love and understanding coupled with empathy go together. And it is impossible to smear that person with scandals. Be sure that when you hear a negative comment or negative information about some person behind his/her back, the person telling the negative things which damage actually is motivated by hatred. May be the hatred is based on honest motivations---you cannot like a criminal who attacked a girl with acid.

On the other hand if you are filled with hatred for a person or even for a subject, you enjoy to misunderstand. Hatred and misunderstanding often  go together. The biggest problem with chronic hatred is, once it gets embedded one does not want to lose the hatred. So as one is afraid of losing that hatred, one refuses to listen. Hatred becomes a value, an unchanging value. Hitler who developed such a hatred for Jews never bothered to think of the great thinkers among Jews—Freud, Karl Marx, Einstein...For him they were sub human.

In democracy, the eye for defects often results in personal animosities, which those in politics strive to fight within themselves and among themselves. But the problem is with a politician who has built his political ladder by generating hatred towards a large group of people by branding that group as the other. Such politicians ultimately die very bitterly with bitter thoughts.

That person damages himself totally. A person who bad mouths crores of people by branding them into one heading is a Hitler in the making.Unfortunately,TV channels mails, social media are spreading hate emotions as pandemics. Whole populations are getting pitted against each other and demagoguery has become the main method of climbing the political/power ladder. Only demagogues and not statesmen are sprouting. Worse the people are becoming the new crowds of those Roman galleries who gathered to witness the fight to kill between the gladiators. At least those gladiators did not develop the crooked minds to scandalize and spread hatred. Today politics itself has become a game of hate filled crooks. In this game all sublime values—the donation of a cow in tender remembrance of the departed parents, missions that help millions, get jettisoned.
