What Is Hating??

You know, there is something on my mind that I think we all need to really discuss. It has truly become an epidemic now that people are all “haters” these days. And just to show how serious I am, Im not going to use any slang in this blog.

It seems so often now that everyone is being titled a “hater”. You could not like the way someone is dressed, you could not like the way someone is speaking, you could not agree with someone’s opinion and you are automatically titled a “hater”. Even if it just your own personal opinion.

By definition, (from what I have gathered) a “hater” is someone who is envious over said persons. One who shows extreme discontent from an illogical or ludicrous stand point.

If this is indeed the case, I will go there with you. BUT….what I do not understand, is the idea that everyone is claimed as a hater when an opinion is voiced.

Lets play test for a second. Read the following serenio and tell me the best course of action for John Doe to assume.

(Scenario 1)
If John Doe asked me if I liked his shirt. (He is wearing a red South Pole shirt, button down with some heavy awkward design pattern on the front. I don’t generally like South Pole) So I tell John Doe, Im not a big fan of South Pole, the design on the front is a bit much for me.

Should John Doe
(A) Assume that Im a “hater” cause I secretly wished it was me that had the shirt
OR
(B) Assume that I simply do not like South Pole, but that I do still like him as a person

If your answer was (B) to listed scenario, then you passed. If your answer was (A) then maybe you’re the reason that im typing this blog.

Luckily I have not been able to find myself in this type of situation so I cant recall any experiences first hand. But I do want to know, why are people so quick to say that someone is “hating on them.” Why not just say that someone don’t agree with you on that matter, I mean wouldn’t that be more logical than to assume that he is “hating” on you?

Iuno…You tell me.
