Do we enjoy hating things?

If human beings didn't complain and critique nothing would get any better.

I love most games I play but I'm not shy at pointing out improvements that could be made.

Its like many things in life. We can share our love for, say, Skyrim. Or we can share our hate for, say, Skyrim. Its just interacting and being part of something that others agree with.

If this disappoints you, live with it. Everyone ELSE does, myself included.

This would be all unnecessary if you just accepted that people might have different values and opinions.

Heck, I'm not even mad you completely misunderstood my analogy with dogs. We like to pretend we fight. Otherwise how would we enjoy sports? Sports were originally designed to train men to fight.

Finally: if everyone lives with it, what made you post that first post or even continuing to reply to me? Clearly you're the same thing you mentioned in your first post - and there is nothing "wrong" or "trollish" about being that person. I'm not disappointed.

Oh god yeah, i love hating things, if no one hated things nothing would get changed ever, although a lot less people would have died

Yes. It's in human nature to look for problems for the sole purpose of justifying hatred.

We don't like hating things, we like being a person who has high standards and good taste capable of recognizing flaws. We like being a person with the kind of taste that allows to pick apart, "Bad" things like it is a puzzle. This can be good (criticizing extremist ideologies when compared to our more reasonable philosophy), bad (Criticizing individuals for enjoying something that has no negative repercussions for enjoying), or neutral except insofar are hating them is enjoyable (Watching a bad movie to laugh at it). It can be either good or bad.

Genuine hate comes from fear, which comes from being hurt; which technically puts hate as a symptom of weakness. You cannot genuinely hate something if it cannot hurt you either directly or indirectly. People "like" to hate because the normal reaction of concern and empathy is often mistaken for fear via projection of their own mind-state, and the manipulation of others that it entails can feel empowering to someone in a vulnerable state of mind.

To be fair, we should all be like hippies, love everything and hate nothing. Problem is I hate hippies.
