It's not a natural attitude. Acts of hatred are acquired behavior, not a part of the makeup of a newborn child.
Hate has to be learned.
All who are committed to stopping the hate in our midst must know answers to these crucial questions. Hatred pervades the rationale and rides the sound waves of a mean-spirited pedagogy employed by countless numbers of teachers in classrooms of every shape, size, and location. Jealousy, too, contributes to hate. A youngster starving for a morsel of bread daily watches a television family flippantly peck at a feast, senses an injustice at the heart of her world and harbors an explosive jealously that breeds resentment, then hatred, and perhaps violence. Fear can cause hatred, especially fear haunted by insecurity and fed by paranoia.
