The Blog City Prompt Forum prompt for February 6, 2016 is ""In time, we hate that which we often fear"
Shakespeare › Antony and Cleopatra, Act 1, Scene 3
Has this happened to you or to people you know? What are your thoughts on fear-hate connection?"

Anybody who has a basic handle on human emotions understands that this is absolutely on target. Anger is a secondary emotion stemming from fear. Something triggers a fear within us and our method of dealing with that fear is to turn green, become really huge, and start destroying whatever it it is we fear or we recoil from what we fear and run like crazy. Either of these responses is a display of anger. One is a display of overt anger and the other a display of stuffed or covert anger. I don't know about anybody else but I have never been angry at another person because I enjoyed them or what they were doing. If I was angry it was because I either hated them or hated their actions. That hatred was usually based on some fear that I may not even have been aware of.
