The Philosophy of Irrational Hatred

Man, naturally, is a rational being and creative. Mankind has the potentiality to transform an objective reality into an abstraction. Based on his abstract knowledge, he can invent a new objective reality that can shape the real world. Mankind is a being with a free will which means he can choose to be rational or irrational. If he choose to be rational, he can invent or create objective reality which can move the whole world to his own imaginative virtuous standards. However, if he choose to be irrational, he may decommission himself from the community of humanity and decide to live in isolation which can be self-destructive. Despite the fact the Eritrean people are my people, I am sad the Eritrean government spends most of its time rehearsing hatred about Ethiopia.

For the sake of interest, I did listen to Eritrean media, according to my observations, Eritrean government means a government which has installed itself against Ethiopia in all its attributes. I wonder if the Issaiyasian type Eritreans apply their clear natural conscience to all what they do and say. Sometimes, it is good to stop oneself and ask questions. All the TV, websites, tubes,... are about hatred against Ethiopia. I am very glad that Ethiopians do not have time to talk about Eritreans.

All the parades and festivals are about hatred against Ethiopia; We killed them in mass; they died in mass, we gave their body to crows, dogs, birds,.... What is the virtue of of killing your own people and give them to crows, dogs, birds,.... Is this really going to prosper Eritreans? I wonder if the Eritrean government stops and see where it is going. Leave alone Ethiopian and Eritrean who has been living together and who are naturally interdependent, it is very important for people to have a friendly relationship even with people from far away because nature is interconnected. What are the final objectives of the Eritrean government by teaching new born children such poisonous hatred and cynicism. The children deserve to be thought good things than hatred. Hatred is destructive.

I was listening the other day to Eritrea Kuhulo, it is a nice song; but I was asking myself if that could be true, how happy I could be. The truth is Eritrea is hell now, probably much worse than Ethiopia. About 150,000 Eritreans have been living in refugee camps in Sudan since 1967, is this not cruelty, and in-humanity? ኤርትራ ኩህሎ deprive its people their natural freedom. Do Eritreans think about their fellow brothers? While people are suffering for half century in Sudan because of Ato Issayas Afewerki's revolution for independence, what is the point of singing a song of killing Ethiopians, and ኤርትራ ኩሁሎ፣... and making parades, festivals, and talking about the riches of Eritrea?

In my opinion, I think it is good for Eritreans to understand that killing Ethiopians will never prosper Eritrea. Hatred of Ethiopians will not prosper Eritrean. It is also very naive to think Ethiopia will be effaced from its existence. It is also an evil intention to think to eradicate the people of a nation for once own evil objectives. This evil agenda against Ethiopians will never prosper Eritreans except putting them in constant conflict with their own people.

It is good the Eritrean government become rational and engage itself in a abstract knowledge so that Eritreans can spend their time, energy, resources,... making concrete object for their own benefit and if more to the world. It is evil and destructive to induce hatred to the psyche of Eritrean populace.
