Is hate a stronger emotion than love?


Is hate a stronger emotion than love?: 'Yes'

It’s probably not very hard to see that sadly, the nice project “Love to Lead” has been sabotaged and it has become impossible for the real contributors to win. A € 3000 prize for a simple blog article will lure cheaters and there is no way to prevent this. Like many of you, the Toshiba R400 led me to this website and seeing the possibility to win one waked my desire to have to own one. I basically fell in love with the Toshiba Portégé R400. After writing my first article about “Are Computer Games a Waste of Time?” it was clear to me that I won’t be able to win with cheaters at work. Because I still loved the R400, I didn’t want to give it up so easily, but seeing those useless articles being on top made the hate in me grow. So is hate a stronger emotion than love? Let me demonstrate my opinion on this topic by means of the current situation on “Love to Lead” every writer here is probably worried about. I can clearly see the frustration and hate of all the honest writers against those cheaters. And I think that everyone would agree when saying that our hate has grown so much in our heads that it has even tainted the “Love to Lead”-Team, making us think that they are careless und irresponsible. But shouldn’t we be loving them for creating this project, making it even possible for us to discuss these interesting topics and awarding us with R400s? If in this unfair virtual environment, which represents nothing else than the real world, everything has escalated to such a chaotic situation, it’s not hard to deduce that hate is much stronger than love. Just like here, chaos is in the world. The chaos of the world, which is reflected by wars, has always been between us and it will continue to stay there. Unlike love, what we allow to freely flow in us, hate is something we need to keep under control. So once we are unable to control our hate, it will break out and overrun our love, making us do things we wouldn’t ever want do. In the end, I have to say that we should keep out hate under control and our love for the “Love to Lead” Team flow again. They will fix the problem, we know it! So keep this in mind and follow me and keep writing beautiful articles!

I'm totally agree with the author saying that cheaters win on the site. By saying this I mean the last 2 weeks winners. Do you really think their articles are the most valuable and interesting? I don't think so and I'm sure many people would agree with me. I'd even suggest Love to Lead Team to re-consider the winners, because it's not fair to other participants.

Don't worry, they will do something about it. :) But hey, aren't you agreeing with the rest of my article too? ;P

I think we are losing the picture here. I've deliberately not checked out the details of the prize because I know that would make me want something I can't afford and so would be so desperate to win that I would resent anyone else their success. Taking part would then no longer be a pleasure. I do thank the Love 2 lead team for providing us with this opportunity and am prepared to see the positives and overlook the negatives. By doing this same thing in life I am better able to ward off hate and embrace love whenever it is offered.
That's not to say I'm not interested in winning the Toshiba ;-) I'm just not going to give my desire the chance to get in the way of making the most of this opportunity to share opinions.

Thank you SallyT! Yes, thats exactly what I'm trying to say here, we should concentrate on the contest and not on the price. Winning it would be nice but we should focus on good articles. I'm probably just going to buy one if I don't win it, but having this discussion here is really nice.

Dude, You took this idea from me. I'm sure you saw my comment on the winner of the last subject's article. It basically said to him is that he must be winning, because his article was extremely incoherent, yet he was on top of many articles below him with much more intelligent authors. He must have cheated.

Re: Is hate a stronger emotion than love?	By chineseleper on 2/24/2007 1:54 AM
Hehe, almost right. I already figured out that they were cheating and then I read your comment. It's sad isn't it? But until now it seems that no one is cheating this round. I hope it will stay this way until the end and that we will get more quality articles.

i think the word cheating might be a bit strong. the winners are the ones that get the most positive votes. like in a democracy, they might have more friends, but not the best content.

Agreed entirely. That's why I stopped entering

Letting friends vote for oneself is of course not cheating. This is not what I'm trying to say. It's rather clear that those people have repeatedly voted for them selfs which is nothing else than cheating. In a democracy, everyone gets one vote, but here, it's possible to have unlimited votes.

I agree with you when saying that it's not the best way to determine the best article now, but this is because not enough people are participating. As soon as the amout of readers and participants raises, even a whole lot of friends won't help. Until then, let's just keep hoping that no one will keep voting himself up and everyone else down.

To Chineseleper:
After some thinking about your words I decided to check if you are right. I did some research on the Internet and here's what I found. The last winner ideafix3 was russian as I am, it can prove the commentator's names on his article. Suddenly, on the hugo's article I found the same names! I went to his original article website and here's what I found written by him after the article (in Russian - you can take any online translate it to English) - Vote for me everyone and make PR!
Then I made another research (I'm good at that:)) Some forum http://www.prizolovy.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1200 for, as I understood, everyone who want to win in competitions like that. Someone, who's name "clea" was ideafix3 our last winner and she asked everyone there to vote for her. But that is not the worse thing, I've found out. The funniest thing - they have a LINE already for people who want to win R400 in the next week, all are from their's forum.
Clea said she recei ...

Clea said she received a note from organizators of the contest, she has to fil some form and fax it. She will receive the laptop in March. Ha! I didn't know you were right!

Lifelover hey, what's the problem? You think I can't ask MY friends in MY blog to vote me and to help me?

Re: Is hate a stronger emotion than love?	By Lifelover on 2/25/2007 5:28 PM
It's NOT a problem, hugo. I was protecting my honesty, that's all. You can ask your friends to vote for you and whoever may do it as well as you do. I just explained to Chineseleper that I wasn't cheating. I don't say you are cheating. It's just not fair toward everyone here to make a line of your friends to win the prize.

Re: Is hate a stronger emotion than love?	By hugo on 2/25/2007 8:18 PM
>>It's just not fair toward everyone here to make a line of your friends to win the prize. And you think it's not good for Toshiba? Everything here is no more than action designed for promotion of this new cool laptops! It's a great advertisement that we produce.

I might assume Toshiba wants to make an advertising company but… There is always big BUT. The questions for the weeks’s topics are very interesting and thought-provoking. People will want to read the articles if it have some useful information for them and contribute them in any way. Only this way people will be interested in reading the upcoming articles and wait for the new ones. Only this way Toshiba will attract more consumers and more satisfied users, only this way the system will work.
I don’t really think all is Toshiba wanted is to attract bunch of one single forum users who does make people rather discouraged in Love to Lead website and turns off new brain-smart authors. What Toshiba will get in return? Few users of theirs laptops, who voted for themselves, not a whole Internet interested in a new great product and valuing Toshiba for its honesty and marketing company who scouted and found new talents in writing.
