Hate is bad for the soul. Loving and forgiving is good for the soul. You get consumed by hate and you are controlled by the other person and eventually you become like that person. If you love and forgive you are set free from hate.

Our pack mentality and feelings for family is just a evolutionary construct to make us a more successful predator and help us survive and grow.
Ofc there are people who can't love, there are people who can't display or feel any number of emotions, we call them psychopaths.. But there is another whole range of psychological problems that can cause a person not to have a properly functioning emotional spectrum.

As opposed to someone whose still an ape.
Easy, it's a chemical function in our body that releases endorphin's when the right triggers are hit.. Humans are biological constructs that are primed for certain things.
1. avoid death.
2. eat, sleep, drink and sustain bodily functions.
3. procreate.
We're actually very uncomplicated animal, you people like to put us on some pedestal and exclaim that we're the master plan in the schemes of this super-human deity whose wisdom spans the entirety of the universe, and when you look at the end product you realize what a shitty incompetent hack that alleged god is, especially when he made those that follow him.. I mean what a bunch of weaklings.

So you think there are other humans out there? I would say we are unique here. We're way above animals. Although it could be said that we share some of the same characteristics. I still think we are far beyond what evolution says we are.

Humans are a very advanced animal but that still makes us an animal, some of us chooses not to act like animals. However put enough people in a situation where you have an exit at one end and approaching death at the other and witness blind panic and survival, a few will be able to think and act rationally and will help others but the majority will be doing a blind stampede trampling people underfoot to survive.
It's our prerogative to survive, we're built for fight or flight.. If humans spends to much time under a situation where those built in defensive mechanisms are on a low boil we become sick, this is where stress comes from it's a natural human reaction.
Just live with it Mascara you're just a advanced version of a monkey, you have to 96% the same genes as a chimpanzee.

Well yeah basically, it's the crucial 4% which lets us use speech and cognitive reasoning, all our didactic prowess, walk upright etc.
It's also very clear that we share a common ancestry and that we're still when push comes to shove animals, this explains our irrational behavior, violence etc etc.

I don't really know how to.
Why do the people in your life have value to you? Why do you care what happens to them?
Is it something you choose to feel? Is it something you can't help but feel?
Are you obligated to love certain people? If you don't does that make you bad?
It's seems to be a very complicated thing, and often leads to more pain than pleasure.
So why give it?

There are some common and unique reasons why we do the things we do. I take care of a woman, whom I have had children with, but no longer have a marriage contract relationship with, because I see her hurting and I want her to be all the woman she can be unfettered by fear. I feel in doing this I heal myself in an oblique way. However, I simply do it because I want to. I feel a sense of harmony in this task.
WE have many appetitites, which are all natural and good. Moderation takes years of experience to learn some times.

Love is relative, and ultimately we all have to decide what it means for us.
To me love is a combination of need, desire and obligation. If I feel like I need and want someone then I consider it love, but I also understand that I have to do something for them in return. Nothing is free; not even love.
If you say "I love you" you have promised that person whatever they believe comes with love.
That is why I think it's important to be careful who you say it to. Even if you feel it sometimes it's better to keep it to yourself.
