A friend of mine came up with a theory, the Mental Hate Campaign, (MHC). Now the bases of this theory, is that sometime you start to dislike someone, and its not because they have done anything persay, its just that you don't like them. It is all in the mind, ya3ni if you try to explain the reasons to someone, it would all be piety stuff, and really things that don't make sense when vocalised. Bas in your mind-and what an amazing place the mind is-it all fits, all the little habits that before you found endearing now just knock on your nerves, the voice, the way they flick their hair, the way they hold a cup, or smoke a ciggie...all these things that before you would not have noticed, now SCREAM out at you.
I have MHC's quite a lot...I try to control them-the same friend who came up with MHC said that you have to think of the brain like a TV...when something comes on that you don't like...pick up the remote control and change channels-fa I do that...I try to switch channels...bas it does not always work. Sometimes the woman in my mind, just won't switch channels...the remote only goes from one thing I don't like to another...reinforcing the MHC.
The good thing about MHC is that since they go on in the mind and you can't really vocalise them-you end up sounding like a fifth grader-at some point the mind gets bored and finally the remote starts to work and you move on...leaving the MHC behind to be forgotten till the next victim pops up on the screen!
well, I could not resist my self from commenting to this one ... but it is really so nice from you to describe such mental syntheses, while I have the mentaly-issued "versus the world" ...
ReplyDeleteHatred is such a strong word, i wonder at how often we use it, how we claim such a long lasting feeling of absolute negativity inside a life so frivolous from one perspective and rosey from another... and what eccess energy it requires us to maintain it... tomorrow, as a rule, is a always a new day as long as we live...
