Fear and ignorance play a very big role in hate, (mom always taught me not to use the word hate, indifferent is far more accurate.) but when it comes down to hate can be a very motivating emotion. We hate that others have what we don't. We hate when others appear to get what we don't. We hate that people have a different view then us. And typically when they have never done anything to us. Fear of loosing something, because humans have a history of taking from, not giving to. Intolerance and hate are survival instincts from primal ages through our early history. And when ever a person who has hate in their heart motivated by fear of change or loss, you have the beginnings of every evil done to mankind throughout history. Growing up in the sixties we were taught not to trust anyone over 30. At 61 it's quite hard for me to trust anyone because to often they haven't moved past those survival instincts.
