Hatred

Hatred.

Usually, when someone does you harm, hatred ensues. The feeling of wanting to inflict harm against another person, the eager wishing of misfortune befalling that person.

But... Have you ever got the feeling of hating someone who hadn't really done anything to you? I know I do. One time, I just saw this person's face and anger suddenly rushed through my mind. That person didn't even know me and vice versa but I can't easily shake the feeling off. This ill feeling can be maddening at times.

But I also think... Someone could also be hating me as well with no real reason. I'm not really being paranoid but of the hundred people I see everyday, there is bound to be one who hates me. This cycle of hatred is bound to happen. It's natural. All humans feel the feeling of hate.

It's rather strange to know that a person's mere existence can cause this much conflict for various reasons. Someone sneezed and someone else caught the disease. Someone walked and accidentally stepped on someone else's foot. Walking, bumping against another's shoulder. Talking loudly and unknowingly annoying another. Unknowingly inciting envy, jealousy, fear, anger... hatred.

By the time you have existed, you are forcibly thrust to this never ending cycle. Once you're in, you can never go out. The only way to prevent being thrust in the cycle is to have hid your existence from the world... or to have never had existed at all in the beginning.

We all live in a world of hatred. Chauvinists, Sexists, Racists, your next door neighbor, the next person you brush shoulders with, or even someone you have never even seen before...
