i think its harder to love someone with that theres trust and commitment and feelings basically why place all that on yourself if someones going to hurt you in the long run? you hope and pray it doesnt happen but in some relationships it happens sadly .. then after that u hate them forever cause thats easy , its nothing to hate someone til the end of time , and then it could be the simplest thing not even a relationship , you hate on a persons way of life , anything ...i think most people who chose to hate , have been hurt in the past and have yet to admit it , and if they did admit to someone , that someone hurt them in turn making the other person who once loved something , now hates everything there is to life or you know something like that

I believe it takes more energy to hate a person. It takes more muscles in your face to frown than to smile. When you hate a person, you spend most of your time thinking negatively about that person and that is not good either. It doesn't make you feel good at all. I am talking from experience because I nearly hated, well I think I did hate these two people because I was constantly thinking of ways to get them back for what they did to me and so I had to forgive them, if not only for my own benefit. When you love someone, you are not thinking about them in a negative way. When you see them you are happy to see them and you smile at them and you feel more positive. Currently there is someone in my family that when I see them something happens inside me and I pray to my God to remove these feelings of negativity from my heart. It's a long story that I can't get into but katherleen believe me when I tell you, it's much easier to love so love a lot and take care.

well, it depends on the situation you face. but loving is a human nature. "by default", we will love others. so, i think it's harder to hate someone than to love them. it's just my opinion

depends upon the person,the situation we love someone or hate ..but we try to love all people even they not love us... Love is a great tool to destroy all the bad things..

Love. Hate can be rather easy, if you don't agree with someone or you're angry it's easy to express that. Love on the other hand is more difficult because you're accepting them for everything, flaws included and you've got to put some effort towards loving someone; hate is created through conflict, which is effortless.

Hi Katherleen Loving and hating people, it's all about personal choices. Think about something you love, how does it make you feel? I'm sure it makes you feel good. It's all to do with your state of mind after all. You doing this for yourself. You have to distinguish the type of love you are feeling for someone. Ask yourself the question; what makes you love or hate an individual. Focuse on the things you appreciate and make you feel good instead:)
