Hate can be a powerfull  ally and also a powerfull enemy. A balance is needed between acceptance and denial of others in ones surroundings. I figured for a first blog I might share something about myself which I know others share along with me. Hatred, Anger, Pain, Fear, Love and Lust are the major emotions that motivate and allow us to endure our short yet pleasing lives. To be a person of mass hate or negative emotion is as common as a person who appears to be a complete positive thinker. A pessimist may see the negative in almost everything he/her sees but also allows to see outside "the box," and optimist may have to positive determination but also leads to the plans that are known and proven to work.

I am a Pessimist, I am Misanthropic, and I am a Hatefull person, but what may seem as repressive emotions from some peoples stand point, to me it is the drive that pushes me everyday to succeed in as much as I possibly can and to take the failures and turn them into success by learning each mistake I have made.

(this is an explanation of what according to whikipedia is a misanthropist)

 While misanthropes express a general dislike for humanity on the whole, they generally have normal relationships with specific individuals. Misanthropy may be motivated by feelings of isolation or social alienation, or simply contempt for the prevailing characteristics of humanity.

Misanthropy is commonly misinterpreted and distorted as a widespread and individualized hatred of humans. Because of this, the term often associates a great number of false negative tie-ins with the term. An extreme misanthrope may indeed hate the human race generally, but it doesn't necessarily entail psychopathy. In actuality, it exists as a form of elitism. Misanthropes can hold normal and intimate relationships with people, but they will often be very few and far in between. They will typically be very selective of who they will associate with. This is also where their aversion is most prevalent, because their perspective shows an overriding contempt towards common human faults and weaknesses in others and in some cases, themselves.

It's because of that aversion that most misanthropes will often be categorized as loners, living in recluse. They generally won't find solace or effective functioning in society as a result of their perspective.

Overt expressions of misanthropy are common in satire and comedy, although intense misanthropy is generally rare. Subtler expressions are far more common, especially for those pointing out the shortcomings of humanity.

Some religions, or schools of religious thought, maintain that humanity as a whole is inherently improper and needs to be saved, while some philosophers and their adherents view humanity as a futile, self-destructive species.
