Hitler hated Jews. So he mobilized people and machinery to eradicate the whole race. His concentration camps became death industry. He didn’t need nuclear weapons of mass destruction(WMD). He used basic hatred and intolerance to his advantage.

World hated Hitler. So there was war. World wars left millions dead and created a new geopolitical history. America destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki by nuclear bombs. Again multitudes of people died and suffered nuclear holocaust. Hating Hitler can be justified but mass killing?

At present Robert Mugabe is using the same time tested weapon of hate. How else can Zanu PF and militia kill and maim fellow Zimbabweans? Only extreme emotion and mass hysteria can carry out such genocide.

Most countries of African continent are engaged in ethnic conflicts. They rape, abuse, kill and butcher men, women, girls and children.

Al-Qaeda’s jihad hates anti-muslim world and has mobilized support from all pro-Islamic groups and has trained them to love one cause and hate another so much that they can blow themselves up along with the targets. Again terrorist attacks and horrifying deaths.

US hates fundamentalists and terrorists and everyone who wants to harm its interest. It declares war and destroys Iraq and parts of Afghanistan. More killings...

There are internal conflicts in many countries all round the world where they breed hatred in the name of god, religion, race, development, politics and even language.

In countries like India, female infanticide is rampant. They hate girl children. Can we call it gender hatred?

Hatred and intolerance leaves millions dead, raped, abused and brutally injured all over the world. Who will curb this WMD used by one and all in present society and politics?

Is human race evolving at all? Why do we need to hate? Why hate works? Technology has only made killing more easy and sophisticated. It hasn’t taught the world to love and heal. It hasn’t taught us to work towards egalitarian goals.

Instead of bridges we have wider chasms. Maybe I am looking only at the darker side of the moon…I hope I am getting it all wrong…

hatred has been the world’s most potent WMD for almost as long as there has been a human civilization...

we are doing exactly what they were doing in the Dark Ages, just that we have more destructive weaponry and better clothes perhaps...

you’d think being civilized would mean an end to warfare and the promotion of communication in resolving differences but unfortunately that has only resulted in deadlier bombs!!!

I really don’t what being civilized means...
Long time back I had this cartoon on my desk where two dolphins are saying,”Human beings have language to talk but do they really communicate?
Human beings are behaving worse than any other living beings on this planet.

Hatred is what pushes one to pull the trigger or push the button. It’s still ammunition, arsenals, and armaments that kill - massively.

Hatred does not make one push or pull, it’s lust for power and influence that does it. The annihilation is then accomplished by the arsenals that we have amassed, as you rightly pointed out.

We don’t see the need of even ’feeling’ anything, not even hatred, to kill. And that’s the saddest part.

Hatred unites. The hated unite to collectively hate the original haters. They, in turn, start loving each other for their common hatred towards the common object of hatred. So, hatred builds on both sides breeding love, affection and empathy amongst the hater groups. That’s how the world runs. Hatred is a sentiment, and so is love, and like energy one is converted into another. The cycle goes on.
Therefore, though hatred is not a good thing, but too much love would also suffocate.
So, let the world find its own ways to deal with sentiments. Surely, we don’t run the world - never have - it’s something else that keeps it revolving.
Wouldn’t you agree?

Isn’t it intriguing that much energy goes into hating and destroying than making peace and being constructive?
Human beings are evolving to be a greedy lot.
Greed takes the centrestage.
Everything else is of lesser importance and hence can be eliminated, is the mantra of people who use politics of hate to their advantage.

Is human race evolving at all?

NO!

We are moving back, to our wilderness days, we are getting uncivilised, BUT in a very civlised manner.

We have evolved, or rather de-evolved, our hatred has evolved into mass politics and conniving games, to end it all.

At the end the world is only concerned, with getting back at it or them.

We have civlised in our own animalistic way, to device newer conduits for our Hatred against an ideal or an institution, and all our efforts are aimed at making Hatred a global system of sentiment.

Hatred breeds more hate; thus the conflict,war and genocide continues...
A whole lot becomes greedy and uses politics of hate to gain strength and achieve power and other goals and the weak becomes weaker...
Will we ever have world without wars, riots, killing, rape and abuse?
I doubt it...even children are not spared by this politics of hate...

Hatred already is a WMD. It has been from times immemorial. It is not a contemporary 'bomb'. Hatred was used to perfection by politico-religious leaders to launch bloody and protracted campaigns for centuries bringing misery and death to hundreds of millions of innocent people.

So nothing much has changed for centuries. Neither higher intellectual pursuits, neither science nor technology, neither art nor literature, has improved vision of religious and world leaders. Very unfortunate in the race of survival innocents get killed and greedy lot carry on...
