: Really? Why? Why so much hate?
Are you speaking of here or in general? Within or beyond the enneagram
context?
Working with "in general" and "within the enneagram context": All types
become more self-centered as they pass through lower levels, resulting in
more interpersonal conflict. Increased conflict causes one to restructure
one's point of view, making others appear less sympathetic and more
hostile. Hate is a natural response to the misidentification of the causes
of one's conflicts -- failing to see one's own responsibility for negative
experiences, one blames others instead, resulting in resentment of those
others. I find it unlikely that a healthy person would find himself
routinely experiencing hatred.
