Isolation from the things you hate seems likely to be a highly desirable outcome for people who feel that way.

- fit2rule 12y ago.. and so goes the big wheel. Wouldn't you rather just not hate, though?
- 6d0debc071 12y agoPersonally? No, my hatred has been of use to me in the past. I doubt I'd be where I am today if I'd not hated where I was. And while !Me might have been okay with staying there, provided she didn't hate it, !Me would be far less the sort of person I want to be than I actually am. She'd lack many of my pleasures. The absence of hatred is not by itself the presence of joy. Of course, hatred can also cripple you, rather than push you to grow: The unrewarded genius who consoles themselves that it's the world that's stupid in not respecting their genius, rather than themselves for not putting the effort in. But that's a matter of context: honesty, self-knowledge, self-confidence, knowledge about the world. Simply because some hatreds are unproductive hardly renders the emotion itself malign, no more than joy is malign simply because some people find it in the destruction of others.
