Why people hate themselves and how to fight it

Everyone knows a winged expression, borrowed from the "Bible" about the need to love one's neighbor, that is, a person in the broadest sense of the word, as himself. Why did it become so often today in the media, and even in ordinary everyday speech?

Yes, because more and more often our society is shocked by facts in which hatred towards people crosses all borders! Maniacs, alcoholics, hooligans - it's understandable, these are all subjects with disturbed psyche. But today, various currents are gaining momentum, in which people are not just normal, but with pronounced "right" behavior, the tool to destroy their own kind.

For example, the youth subculture, whose members are called streyders, the postulates of their behavior are the rejection of drugs and alcohol, smoking and sexual intercourse without love. They exalt honesty, loyalty and respect for elders, protect the rights of animals and nature. All this, of course, is extremely commendable. And it is not even clear what the conversation is about and where there is hatred for people. And the connection is the most that neither is direct.

Particularly devoted to the ideas of a healthy lifestyle and animal protection, develop a biocentrism of such a power that they begin to commit unlawful actions in order to change everything around them. They destroy shops in which they sell meat or furs, beat people who smoke before their eyes or drink. Such campaigns often end in serious traumas and can even lead to the death of a person. Themselves members of the organization believe that those who do not appreciate someone else's life (for example, chicken or even fish) is not worthy of it. Is this not hatred for people?

The same applies to pseudo-patriots. With slogans "Russia for Russians!" Skinheads smash stalls and markets, they kill to death people with dark skin color and hair. Not only visiting foreigners, that is, people from the near abroad, but also a large number of those born and raised in Russia, who consider it their only homeland and have not less patriotism, fall under the "distribution". This hatred of people Even more kindle the leaders of such groups, playing the young people at play at their discretion. In this situation, it is even difficult to say whose role is worse: skins themselves or their adult leadership.

The question arises by itself: what are the causes of aggression? Why one person is ready to give the homeless to the last shirt, and the other will gladly kick the dirty baby's foot with a beggar. It is not worthwhile to row all to one crest: anyone can lose their homes and livelihoods. But to apply violence to already deprived people at least is immoral and cruel.

As it turned out, the reason lies on the surface! Such an evil attitude towards people who are at a lower level of morality or that do not correspond to the individual's idea of decency is a mental illness and is called misanthropy. And it often affects people intellectually developed, cultured, even talented and creative. They limit themselves to a narrow circle of acquaintances, try to avoid human gatherings. And in their works (sometimes very talented), these people gradually propagandize violence and hatred of those living side by side.

How to get rid of hatred? How to cleanse the world of evil? These are rhetorical questions. Misanthropy is incurable, as many psychologists say. But if she is just trying to put her roots in your soul, pull her out of her heart without regret! After all, if every single individual cleanses himself from hatred and evil, then all together we will become kinder and purer.

Our whole society is very imperfect. Corrections require even a system of state punishment, designed to re-educate those who have gone blind. However, in actual fact it turns out that the opposite: even those who have fallen into places "not so remote" people who committed a misdemeanor by inadvertence, who do not have evil in their souls, return from there angry. And this method of re-education generates another round of aggression.
