this popped into my mind when i was reading on the descrimintation of race and sexual orientation thread http://www.dramasian.com/showthread.php?t=12612 it seems this world is more effected by anger, than by lover sure love seems to be one of the most unbalancing element in a person's mind but if effects solely themself and maybe a little around them but when someone is agree, it consumes them AND is spreads out like a wild fire
meh, its all about perspective. People just tend to focus more on the bad then on the good. Most of what we see is filtered by the media, which exists to sell itself through things like war, terrorism, crime, murder. people aren't interested in, say... the volunteer student who travels across the world to help people in need, because death and crime are just so much more tantalizing.
Because we are always angry about something (24/7), but we are not constantly loving @_@b If that make sense.
OK from others' replies here, I have gathered that what you are trying to say is why does anger spread easier/faster than love is that it? U r saying if someone talks abt love, it just affects them solely and not the people around but if it's anger, it spreads to others easily? Hmm, I don't really agree because look at all those charities around the world, for eg. if there's a charity fund show on tv, people do call in to donate. That's love. That's caring that spreads. If there's a news in the newspaper pleading someone's misfortune, people step in to help. That's love too. If there's injustice or suffering to certain people, they start a support group. Befrienders, AlcoholicsAnonymous, all these are love-spreading. There's always yin and yang, and love and hatred to balance things up
well, i guess because anger is a more distinguishable emotion than love. love isn't always an emotion because it involves your mind as well (IMO). anger is a feeling that can come in an instant and because we feel that feeling at that moment and perhaps, only that feeling, we remember that moment and carry that memory (hatred) with us until we learn to forgive. i also think that love take analysis, for a person to step back and think of all the consequences, etc involved in whatever actions he/she decide to go through with. but i guess i'm biased because i tend to associate anger with rash, irrational behavior.
Because of the environment we live in, the society we live in! There are more things in the world that instigates anger then Love. The causes of anger could be power, money, greed, hate, frustration, hurt, ignorance, selfishness, war, disagreement, misunderstanding, people, stupidity, suffering, betrayal, backstabbing etc etc the list goes on. These type of things will probably destroy us if we let it. Becoming too attached to the above things will probably lead to anger. Love... thats really something to think about because some people find it hard to define it for themselves. But even in Love there is anger sometimes. There is always someone or something in life that will try to piss you off. Just take some anger management lessons
ie: Say you have a friend who always aggravates you or plays dirty jokes on you, what is the "normal" response from you? Anger doesnt cost us much, but love requires more emotions/ work from us such as patience, forgiveness, compassion and so on... Then wouldnt it be easier to be angry at the person and forget about him/ her for the rest of our life whereas loving that person means that you have to put efforts into maintaining the friendship? Besides, anger brings some sense of satisfaction to certain extents whereas love could at times generate pain/ hurtful emotions.
^ good point it takes ppl so much more to effort to love then to hate i guess its like the ultimate comparison is good and bad its so easy to go the wrong path and it takes so much more to be a good person
i think hate also takes work as well (when i think about holding grudges) because one always becomes bitter when thinking about a particular incident/person?
^ Hate requires efforts, but not much efforts as in loving a person. By unconditionally loving a person, no matter what he/ she does that might hurt you, you will still be by their side to endure what might come out of it even though you might never get a positive return from it.
^ its like smiling vs frowning.... i think.... -lol anyways the point is, altho i hate to admit it, if the world was dominated by love, we wouldnt be in the same place we are now.... i mean... wed be like the utopian planet... which would be cool... but only a dream lol until humans realize love is better... but thats impossible considering: if someone hit you in the face, would you slap him/her back or say its alright? buddhist monks achieve total peacefulness and affection by saying thank you to cruel gestures done to them... they are fueled by love.. if everyone was like that, our earth would be totally in contrast to now...
