Healthy hating.

There is this method applied of occasionally hating someone or something.
Nothing to worry.
It is just to release stress and tension and anger and aggression, and inside bullshit, frustration, neurosis, obsessions, hiccups, nightmares, onanism, hangovers, missed phone calls, failed courting, the older sister, dumped desires and flat tires.

As we all know, no matter what, we are not supposed to hate.
An extreme no-no.
It is considered a very bad attitude.
Someone who hates is a person without consideration, flexibility and peace of mind.

Well, fervent and loyal blog readers, over here it is OK to sometimes deeply hate.
Because after the hate is peace of mind.

These days the hate has come to the surface because of the inability to be high speed everywhere on the Internet.
The Chinese Government blocks websites.
And the hotel has a flawed Internet system making its guests unable to access the great wide cyber world all the time.

This results in such a high level of frustration that we can speak of hate.

This talented but modest photographer hates not to be able to access websites.
Hates not to receive e-mails.
Hates not to be able to send e-mails.
Hates not to be able to do Internet banking.
Hates not to be able to communicate through SKYPE.
Hates not to be allowed to use MSN Messenger.
Hates not to be able to see even his own blog!

Hating becomes an activity that actually becomes a pleasant way of being.
It has deepness more difficult to reach in other ways.

When hating deeply, a level of emotion is reached more hard to get when feeling like loving, happy or content.

I HATE YOU.
is more easily expressed and felt than saying:

I LOVE YOU.
With the same emotional intensity.

This is logic and is nothing to worry about.
Because when you hate, any opposite activity or response makes one feel relieved, soothed and with no more disappointment.
But when somebody truly loves and expresses this with cosmic intensity, possibly deep regret and disappointment might be the tragic result.

So, in fact, we hate with pleasure.
But in a discriminatory way.
We do not hate persons, except for one: Joseph Stalin.
And we hate only for a short time, except for Joseph Stalin who will be hated into eternity.
And we hate with a smile, except for Joseph Stalin because there was nothing funny about his massacring.

This selective way of hating makes life easier.
We are not supposed to hate.
But somehow we have found a way to hate without it making us bitter and ugly.

Meanwhile, while writing this, in an unexplainable way, the point made has been understood.
The hotel Internet connection is working perfectly again.
So we change instantly.
We LOVE this hotel.
We don’t hate it anymore.
Who cares?
It is Xmas anyway and everywhere.

Personally I find Adolf Hitler, Idi Amin and Papa Doc Duvalier even more worthy of hate than Uncle Joe Stalin...
