ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Hatred

Okay kiddo, so hatred is when someone strongly dislikes or even feels angry towards another person or group of people. It's like when you don't want to play with someone because they were mean to you or when you feel angry at your sibling for breaking your favorite toy.

But sometimes, hatred can be caused by things that we don’t understand, like when people don’t like others because of their race, religion, or gender. It’s important to remember that nobody is born with hatred in their hearts, it’s something that they learn or pick up from the people around them.

People who hate usually feel like they have a reason for it, but it’s important to remember that hating someone doesn’t solve anything and can actually cause more problems. We should try our best to love everyone and treat others the way we want to be treated, even if we don’t always see eye-to-eye with them.
