Why are we suppose to love people?

Question

what's the opposite and why would it be so bad

Answer 1

Nobody is "suppose" to love or do anything it is not an obligation it is something that you allow yourself to feel for someone ,sometimes you don't even know it because it is stronger then your pride. Opposite is Hate if someone i did not like gives me a reason to hate them then it isn't a bad thing.

Answer 2

It gives you a reason to live.

Answer 3

The opposite would be indifference to people other than yourself, not hate of them, just indifference.  I don't agree that we're supposed to.  We either feel it or we don't.  There are fields of endeavor for choices of careers that don't require love of people, where excellence is achievable and in demand.

Answer 4

I don't think we are "supposed" to love anyone or anything.  It is an emotion that is just there.  I think the opposite is the feeling of nothing.

Answer 5

Are you speaking in the generality of love of humanity?

Some people are, "people persons".  Some are not.  Most people love a few people, family, etc., and have compassion for those in distress.

Could you elucidate?

Answer 6

you don't have to love anyone but why wouldn't you?

Answer 7

I guess you really dont have to love people, but studies show that people who are loved and love others are happier. There is a part of your brain that makes you social and able to love. For most people, love is an instinct. If that part of your brain is damaged, however, you will not be social and may not be able to love.

The opposite of love is hate. Some people hate people, and its not such a good thing. Hate can be provoked by anger, sadness, or being unloved. This is bad because if someone's feeling of hate is so strong, they could take it out on others and cause them harm.

I suppose you dont have to love people if you dont want to, but most people dont even mean to. It just happens.

Answer 8

We should not love people. We should help people

Love will not help people to overcome their problems

Answer 9

just imagine that HE  let you live on the world he created for you to experience the wonders of life.. and the only thing He asks for is for you to love and treasure the other living things he created.. that is just a simple thing...is it really a big deal for you, to love everyone and everything around you?
