Hatred. It's what humans do. I prefer love.I am sick of being hated if I open my mouth, look or act like what others believe, that is oppression. Do I come from Israel with right of return? HA! I'm not a Jew according to many Jews. I'm a minority of 300,00 of 8 billion. And XX.

Not hatred. It is fear and it is addictive.

Hmmm. I don't fear a lot I'm not devoid of it. there's not much I fear other than being taken into a medical facility to die and that is being mitigated with palliative home care and hospice. I have have seen people who fear everything to the point of obsession. It's reasonable.

I apologize. I didn’t mean to make it personal. I was talking in a general sense that the culture around us conditions us with fears. Humans are hard-wired to hate things they fear. You’re right, hatred is easier the work on but it’s diagnostic, it’s not preventative.

You make a provocative point about fear and culture and I like the fact that we don't really know whether our limbic systems are responding to a known and given fear of something or an awareness that threat requires response. That opens up inquiry and discourse potentially.

I like thinking about the philosophy of fear 🙂 I had a chance to experience multiple opposite cultures growing up. Culture is the master but not the key. The rituals help us survive longer but don't prevent extinction. To cease to exist, we must secure our physiological needs
