Hating words

Do you hate Hinduism/Islam/Secularism/Feminism etc..?
Can you succinctly define the concepts or philosophies you hate?

If not, you are probably hating only the words and not the concepts.

You may not even know what Hinduism/Secularism etc., are but you hate the words “hindu”, “secular”, “feminist”.

This is probably because you hate a few people who have these identities.

And you are associating guilt to all the other people who hold these identities, eventually hating the identity itself.

This logical fallacy is called “Guilt by Association”

Hope we discover this fallacy in us and reduce our hatred.

Hate is like a hot iron rod. It burns the one holding it as much as it wounds the one whom you strike with it.
