Does Hate make hell float to the surface?

Without getting into dogma, but using the concepts, does this sound true to you?

Hate is shadow of Anger.
Its just like a steam generated inside the person which has not ever been let out so when its over pressured and at that point if the pressure is not let out it generates into the crystal form of Hate and these crystal forms are dew,which is felt but cannot be identified as to what was the reason of its formation and does in its periodical over due course of time generates a surface to float upon,thus making it mysteriously HELL.

Hell in a non-religious sense can have a myriad of connations as related to the person's points of views and life's experiences.

Hate is an obvious negative word and the opposite of the word love.

Love can be equated to Heaven, which then hate could be equated to Hell.

One who hates can find a different attitude on life, which attitude can result in how people perceive you and how you are treated. If your attitude is negaitve, then there is most likely the possibility of everything else in life does not turn in your favor; therefore, creating a kind of "hell on earth" situation.

Those who are receivers of hate can also feel a form of "hell on earth" as they may not understand what fostered such a raw negative emotion to be turned on them. They could lose sleep and valuable emotional strength as someone's hate could erode their self confidence creating them to constantly look over their shoulder.

I do believe hate can be a hell for those who feel it and for those who receive it.

Since hate is a negative aspect and does not contribute to the welfare of mankind, then it is better to use the opposite, which is love through kindness.

I think the loss of common courtesy in our society has aided in the progeny of some forms of hate we experience today.

I miss the courteous smile, nod, and "How are you?" and "Hope you have a nice day!" This is a form of mutual respect and it goes a whole lot further than the "I'm looking out for only me" mentality.

We only need to look at our intentions to see which way we are leaning. The uncomfortable part of life we experience comes from the conscious ego (our own personal devil or Satan), which feeds us a constant flow of doubts and insecurities. By gaining control of the conscious ego, we begin to use it for its real purpose which is to provide the needed push forward. This is what Jesus did in the desert when he said, "get thee behind me Satan." As we use this push forward, we begin to experience control over our thoughts and actions, resulting in pulling a little more of heaven into our consciousness, from subconscious mind. This is correct use of the essence of spirit, which is essentially the essence of heaven. It really does rest completely upon our souls or choices. Hence, hate indeed makes hell float up to the surface.

I'll apply the inverse logic approach:
Q: Does Love make paradise float to the surface?!
A: Yes
by simple parallel with negative sign we get the logical answer to your question - Yes

It's a reasonable concept, as long as it's not literal. I mean, every time we consciously disobey God, our little life/world becomes a little more hell-like. Hell is being shut off from the presence of God (II Thes 1:9). And, when you think about it, that makes sense. When you chose to be apart from God by sinning, he can no longer be around you. You are CHOOSING to go a different direction. Because he gives you free will, he will allow you to choose what you want. So, if you want to make your life a little more hell-like by allowing hate to fester, that is your choice.

I like the mental image your comment brings.
