We might even love someone and, at the same time, hate him for some specific reason. Hate is a strong neg

6、ative emotion toward someone, and is due to anger, jealousy, or some other factors. Like love, hate can be a very strong emotion. It can also be very dangerous. The question is often asked, “Is it bad to hate?“ The best answer is probably “sometimes yes and sometimes no“. Usually hate does not help
