Wilbur says it's impossible for someone not to have hated a person, and that everyone's guilty of it.
That sounds like an over-generalisation.
I think it's impossible to completely hate a person, if you think rationally and aren't biased or prejudiced. Even if you hate something [like a particular quality] in someone, I think it's impossible to hate that person completely, by which I mean that there always is something to like in any given person. Also, I believe it is possible not to hate anyone at all, not even a certain quality. It may be possible not to be affected by others at all, in which case, it is possible not to have hated at all. Don't scoff, just think about it.
In fact, I think that it is impossible for a person not to have a likeable or admirable quality. I'm undecided as to whether everyone has a quality that others dislike, though.
These of course, are personal opinions. =]

sherz,
i agree with you . there are certain things about my closest friends that i cannot stand. i think what makes us friends is the fact that we are able to overcome their short comings.the others whom we consider to "hate" are simply those whose qualities simply rub the wrong way.
miss you girl! good luck and study hard!
love,

hello lovely senior =)
yes, i agree with what you say completely. hopefully, we can all rub those qualities the right way round =]
i miss you too! have fun at work, and enjoy your holidays!
Haha well it's very true that the more you get to know someone, the harder and harder it is to dislike them.
However it's still quite possible to really hate someone, especially if you hardly know them at all. Even if it's only for a second or two.
Everyone does have certain qualities that will always make them likeable, as small as these qualities may be. But all these things still take time to be recognised. And the way we human beings are, always overlooking the positive things for the negative ones. That's why I say we're all guilty of completely hating others, especially when we first get to know someone.
If first impressions are bad, it always takes time, also because of our human nature, for us to recognise the good qualities in someone else. So it's quite likely that we can even hate them completely at the beginning.
But over time we're almost always able to find some likeable qualities within others like you said. And yes, it's almost impossible to completely hate someone over a long period of time.

haha yep what you say is pretty true, Wilbur. If we don't know a person well, bad impressions can form easily. And i do suppose that if the person creates an impression that's really really bad, hating a person would be natural. Fortunately, i haven't met anyone who created an impression as bad as that, and fortunately these things change over time as we mature =)
thanks for the comment! essay, i should say. haha. seeya around!
