Why do people hate other people so much?

February 24, 2010 2:46am CST
I remember during the late part of last year when I was still in the Philippines, I heard about this blog wherein Koreans said something about the Philippines drowning to death and they call the Filipinos brown monkeys. It saddens me of course because it was the time when the Filipinos were all trying to help each other out because if we try to recall, there's been a lot of destructive typhoons that visited the said country. It was really a time for mourning for a lot of Filipinos died and a lot of their possessions like land and crops and even houses have been destroyed. I wonder what bad thing could have the Filipinos done to deserve such comment from others. I mean if I remember it quite right, there are still a lot of Koreans studying and taking advantage of what the Filipinos have to offer. Sometimes I can't help but think, could they just be jealous of the Philippines? Did they have a relationship with Filipinos that didn't end well? I mean I don't really have anything against Koreans for I myself have a lot of Korean friends. I am writing this to open the minds of people Koreans or not to think that maybe we should stop looking into each others' differences and start focusing on to what is there for us to offer to help out. Because I believe that it is when we help out that we could fell genuine happiness...

hey aki! It's sad to know that other people think of Filipinos that way. We can't please everybody. The best thing we could do is do our job good. Be proud that were filipinos and be honest to everyone.It pays to do that.

Sometimes, people just hate others for no really good reason at all. In fact, if you asked why people hate other people, chances are that many of them would not come up with a reason. Or if that did, it would not be a very good reason. However, no matter how wrong it is, people just hate each other for little to no good reason. Of course, there are always those groups that are opposed to each other just in general. Two groups who have different ideologies and thus would never agree on anything. Then there are those cases where two groups have always been opposed to each other. No one knows how it started but everyone just follows what happens. I have no idea why these two groups would hate each other. In fact, I wonder if they even do.

hi! I think people hate each other so much, because of jalousy or the religion. many people don't have many from the material things of their neighbors or citizens and they feel bad about it, and want to have these things too and that's why they begin hate the people who have more than them. the others hate each other because of the religion, because they don't like the religious points of view of the others

People hate everyone because it is easier for them to hate someone the-nit is to get along with the. meaning the take a look at them and say well I don't like you and really never got a chance to talk the before the just judge them.
