How does one go on without feeling hate?

Tolerance is to be used only as a must. Must I tolerate, or, to put it differently, must I change my mindset in a way that'd accept the humanities wicked state? No. I don't want to tolerate. I want to be left alone.
I realise all this will, in a far future, be fixed; I'm no pessimist. I say this only to bring your attention to the fact that this is not unrealistic to demand. What we need here is not tolerance; what we need is transhumanism, really fast.

Eye totally agree but your talking about in a perfect world transhumaism is the answer. Unfortunately we do not nor do eye see at least in my life time and even your's of that ever come into being. Even if you were to place yourself in the remotest place, it would happen for a while, but eventually they will once again be in your midst and in a brief period of time even totally surround you. So eye still think tolerance is the best solution, eye consider my self to be a pretty nice person void of both hate and prejudice as well. Well at least as much as anyone person could be. So if eye were to begin to hate and be prejudice, than those that made me that way have than changed the nice person eye once was. And now they have won + eye assure eye will do whatever it takes to stop that from happining

You know, you do have the point. To be honest, this tolerance you're speaking of will develop in me, sooner or later. I just hate there' a goddamned need for it to develop.

On transhumanism, who knows? I'm optimistic, time-wise. I think it can develop in my life time. Noone can tell. Processing power doubles every 18 months. I think not that it's unprobable that TH would come into being as an effect of this phenomenum.

For your sake eye hope your right, but unfortunately eye doubt highly it will happen. Hell it be hard enough to get people around the world to commit to 1 mind you 1 act of random kindness. Which if done consistently could very well lead to the world to be as it should be. A deep compassion for all. Eye myself try to get at least one act of random kindness done a day. It's a bit harder for me, for eye have that hard rocker type look. Hair well passed my shoulders a goatee that can be any where from my natural color to green for St. Patty's day red for Valentines Day red and green for X Mass red white and blue for Fourth of July. Plus all the other colors Manic Panic has. OH yea eye also put nail polish on my finger nails. Any where from black a deep dark purple deep dark purple with black zebra stripes and vise a versa. Black with painted on skulls on and at the moment black with red flames. So at times i must be persistent to get my random act of kindness done. Like the other day there was a lady in her late seventies to early eighties, who had 3 bags of groceries she was caring, eye saw her as eye was going in . So i asked if she need help,which was quite evident she did. But upon looking up at me towering over her at 6ft. 5 and having a vicious wolf Tee shirt on, eye could see she was quite leery to say the least. So when she said no thank you, eye said either I'm caring the 3 bags or I'm caring you plus the 3 bags, if i were you I'd choose the first choice for eye can't guarantee the second. Plus my dear departed Mom will be turning over in her grave, for not doing what eye was taught was the proper thing to do. With a big smile on her face she responded with. OH dear eye would't want that

Again, what'll happen in the future is debateable, and impossoble to know. We'll see.

I see... Don't you think, though, that compassion is a bad thing. Ie, not in itself, but take a look at the wider picture. Compare it to charities. Charities are good, no? But they are a sign something's wrong with out society. In a functional society, we wouldn't need it. Same with compassion. It results as a reaction to another person's suffering. I believe, though, that the constant progress of society will annihilate any possibility of suffering, thereby allowing the state, friendships, and other such social institutions, to disappear.

This, again, is only possible in TH.

Once again eye find my self agreeing with you. But you must admit if one has true compassion, than he/she is able to truly feel the hurt/pain another has, for what ever reason that may of caused it. Thus causing them to be both far more understanding + far kinder to thee countless others they will encounter through out there lives. Eye know it doesn't really d seem like much, but either does a pebble being tossed into a lake. Yet it's ripple a effect can very well be huge, depending on both the size of thee pebble + thee calmness of thee pond that day. Eye know eye know, now I'm the one living in a fantasy world. May eye ask, your thoughts regarding religion and how it effects how we treat those we encounter

On compassion, I, of course, agree.

On religion... Firstly, I must say up front that, today, when one wants to criticise (or even praise) religion, he doesn't know what's he criticising anymore. From one hand, you have people literally believing in Adam, Eve, and the bearded sadist (read, God). And from the other hand, you have people believing in nothing aforesaid (but God, of course, whatever may it be), people getting virtually none of their ethics from religion. In my school, I have each of the said types. The latter is free on sexuality, free on drugs (ie., believes nothing is wrong with either), free on every thing you can imagine; a guy who interpretates Bible as a work of art.

In the latter case, religion is more a matter of identity, than it is of actual belief. Family tradition, country tradition, etc, all influence him into taking the name 'christian', and yet he finds the actual christian creeeds (such as the sins) to be laughable at. Here, I'll comment only on actual belief in religious philosophical systems.

It's a delusion. Virtually all beliefs of major religions have been disproved. How it affects us? Negatively. Yes, sure, you may have more compassion here and there, more interpersonal connection. But even that has it's cost.

I assume you aren't a speaker of Serbo-Croatian? If you were, I'd recommend you the book by Dušan Nedeljković, 'Nemoralnost besmrtnosti i etička funkcija smrti.' ('Immorality of immortality and the ethical function of death') In it, the author talks on how religion was used by bourgeoisie to tame the people out of revolution and rebellion. You may find similar ideas in some Marxist authors, but of that ideology I lack knowledge.

Apart from this, there were many, many damages of religion identified by various thinkers. Consider the cycle presented by Erich Fromm in his work 'Psychoanalysis and Religion': the religious person suffers; thereby, he comes to God. God is great; thereby, the believer is unworthy. This causes him to suffer even more - and the cycle continues.

Consider, then, its antagonism towards hedonism. Christians believe that the lower, animal pleasures (hedonē) must be repressed, in other to enjoy greater pleasures. (eudaimonia) However, wasn't a research made, which found these two not only to not be two opposites, but to have the correlation of 0.94?! (Perfect correlation would be 1.)

Not even to speak of the quasi-gratification of thinking you understand the world, when you actually don't. Not even to speak of this true understanding, true power of knowledge, being taken away from you. Not to even speak of, wasting the knowledge you do have, on serving an imaginitive entity.
