23. Interesting, I had never thought of that, that we are the only species that hates.

True children have to taught to hate, but where did it begin, being that it is unnatural?

I suppose that is why people throughout the ages have turned to religion. Religion provides short, concise and simple answers to these deep, unanswerable questions. Religion says that is an evil force, called the Devil, and a good force, God. But where did THEY come from?

You describe how it grows, hate that is, very well. Reminds me of a line from a song 'we have to be carefully taught', though I cannot remember the song.
