A question for my mood.

Why is Hate an emotional response that parents try to teach their children is wrong? What is wrong with Hate?

Because we have become a bunch of prozac filled, "negative emotions are always bad" self-help zombies?

Sometimes hate is good. Like hating child rapists. It's good to hate a child rapist.

I think the concern is that like begets like - hate tends to be repaid with hate. The hope is that teaching children to not hate will reduce hate in the world.

Parents, regardless of the culture, tend to be a hopeful lot...
