Pissed off. Am not!

More often than not, why do we feel such hate towards other people even though they did not say nor do anything against us?

It is so amazing when other people have so many things to say towards other people even though we do not know them personally.

In the neighborhood, in schools, in the office and hell, even in church, we find these things circulating around.

Why is it then? For some personal experiences, it is very often that this feelings boils up from certain hearsay or intrigue thrown by someone who, one way or another experience such unpleasant instances with one particular person. I for one don’t understand why by merely hearing such terrible information about this person plays one’s emotion. We began hating this person as well – which is socially incorrect.

More often we try to avoid them, and more often than not, we add up with the thread gossiping this person.

We got pissed off for unknown reason when hearing awful news about them which in the first place, does not concern us.

An idea comes to mind while thinking about this and I came up with these three major reasons.

1. Jealousy
In any instances, this feeling of jealousy plays our emotions. It always ends up into something bad. One cliché is when we see that one of our officemate is getting so much attention from our superiors because of a job well done; we start gossiping them then end up hating them. Why? We are jealous, that’s why.

2. Trying to fit in
Who doesn’t want to be among the “it” crowd?. I think it is human’s nature to be like that. We always wanted to fit in to what is new, worse, more often ending up with more terrible situations. Peer-pressure is one thing. Again, in the office scenario, those people who felt #1 try to fit all together. It’s a chain and it’s bad.

3. Competition
We can’t beat them in sports or academic challenges – we beat them in other ways – through hate threads. One word and does all the wonders.

I am a victim of this. We believe every story we hear and get mad.

Borrowing the words from the movie “American History X”, Life is too short to get pissed off everyday. And I believed it and I will try to remember. It speaks truth in its truest sense. It is hate that makes this world a mess that it is today.
