Why is it SO EASY to hate and be depressed, rather than to love and be happy?
Why is it SO EASY to hate and be depressed, rather than to love and be happy in our existence?

Because at any given point of time, more people are likely to be depressed/hateful/envying/sinning etc, than they are to love, be charitable and be happy.

Is hate and evil really the most natural order of things and love and happiness just a temporary alleviating effect and just a simple speck of light in a room full of darkness?

Why is it much harder to love and be happy?

Marijuana makes it easy. It is hard to be depressed when you can't stop smiling... Whatever your views on the plant, know that with, life gets a lot easier.

Define what you mean by 'natural order of things' first.

Wait - nevermind - you don't need to. If you want to believe that evil is the natural order of things then you are going to define 'natural order of things' as that which promotes evil.

Loving and being happy requires sacrifice. That's the key.

There is no sacrifice needed to hate and be depressed. Well, actually there is - you sacrifice your own happiness when you hate.

Re: Why is it SO EASY to hate and be depressed, rather than to love and be happy?
The reason, OP, is because we are on the wrong side of a spirito-magnetic tug of war, and once on the wrong side, the pull becomes a tractor beam of sorts.

Earth is negative heavy, and therefore all momentum is towards that end. "The Road to Hell is paved with good intentions" meaning, no matter what you do, you are taking something from someone, hurting someone, or yourself.

Love generates resentment, and all relationships lead to karma and further incarnation.

There is only one escape.

No! Happiness is the natural, evil is not.

That why everyone, from children to the old, naturally gravitate toward happiness.

According to Aristotle, there is no happiness without activity so those who are the most active are the most happy.

Study ancient philosophers, especially Epicurus who said happiness is the end goal of all human actions.

So even if someone is doing evil things,
they're driving happiness from it and they're still happy.
The moment evil stops giving them any happiness, they would stop.

Worrying used to be good trait before next winter.

Depression has allowed people to take some time to themselves.

Hate comes from primal caveman heritage.

But we are more than cavemen. It just requires a lot of work. And that work is never finished while our souls pilot these vessels.

- Happiness is not something ready-made. It comes from your own actions.

2- If you can, help others; if you cannot do that, at least do not harm them.

3- If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.

4- My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.

5- Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.

6- The ultimate authority must always rest with the individual’s own reason and critical analysis.

7- We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection.

8- We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves.

9- Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

10- If you have fear of some pain or suffering, you should examine whether there is anything you can do about it. If you can, there is no need to worry about it; if you cannot do anything, then there is also no need to worry.

11- If you don’t love yourself, you cannot love others. You will not be able to love others. If you have no compassion for yourself then you are not able of developing compassion for others.

12- Human potential is the same for all. Your feeling, “I am of no value”, is wrong. Absolutely wrong. You are deceiving yourself. We all have the power of thought – so what are you lacking? If you have willpower, then you can change anything. It is usually said that you are your own master.

13- We must recognize that the suffering of one person or one nation is the suffering of humanity. That the happiness of one person or nation is the happiness of humanity.

14- Through violence, you may ‘solve’ one problem, but you sow the seeds for another.

15- As people alive today, we must consider future generations: a clean environment is a human right like any other. It is therefore part of our responsibility toward others to ensure that the world we pass on is as healthy, if not healthier, than we found it.

16- To conquer oneself is a greater victory than to conquer thousands in a battle.

17- There is a saying in Tibetan, “Tragedy should be utilized as a source of strength.”
No matter what sort of difficulties, how painful experience is, if we lose our hope, that’s our real disaster.

18- The creatures that inhabit this earth-be they human beings or animals-are here to contribute, each in its own particular way, to the beauty and prosperity of the world.

19- A spoon cannot taste of the food it carries. Likewise, a foolish man cannot understand the wise man´s wisdom even if he associates with a sage.

20- In our struggle for freedom, truth is the only weapon we possess

It does seem we are rewarded psychologically for doing evil things.

Observe policemen women being physically abusive. I think a lot of them 'get off' on it. Its a high to cover over the numbness. Its gets to a point where you don't feel anything anymore and gladly accept the 'evil' stimulation.

I dont think man is functioning the way he was programed to function , i feel it has alot to do with whats called the EGO MIND, it,s been argued that the ego is an infection of sorts from a group of synthetic alein life forms called the ARCHONS, infact if you do some research , by john lanb nash , the nostic seekers of true knowledge seem to be able to pin point the time when the infection took place. many methods have been devised down through the ages , to silence the EGO MIND . when a yogi meditates at least when theyre first starting there training. theyre trying to quite the great deceiver or EGO. SO yes i think man has an infection and you can thank the jealous little bastards , the archon,s.

It's all how you are trained to look at things and few are shown the way.

People I love more than life itself recently moved out of my home and far away. I still cry sometimes but am thankful that they will have a better life,I will not always be around to help them,they have bettered their circumstances.

On Friday I had a chimney fire,as we speak I'm sitting here freezing my ass off in my livingroom but I am SO THANKFUL thatI was here and able to call the fire department and save my house and animals who would have DIED!

I AM SO THANKFUL FOR THE LIFE THAT I'VE HAD AND THE PEOPLE AND CREATURES WHO LOVE ME!

Life is hard sometimes,much harder for others than for me.
When something bad happens use it to make you realize how lucky you really are.
I give thanks that I have loved ones to miss and a house to live in no matter how cold I am!
Happiness is a choice,people have become selfish and miserable because they don't know how to appreciate what they have.

We're conditioned to hate.
Everything we see and do is made to spark a reaction.

Also - here's a thought;
It normally goes: Like-Lust-Love
And it normally goes: HATE, instantly.

Conditioning - break it.

Physical property of entropy aggregates up to human emotion and attitude. Life is fragile due to entropy, life which took a lifetime to build can be destroyed in one instant. Therefore vigilance must be taken to safeguard life. This results in the emotions you listed, more often than not.

Simple.
