Nelson Mandela is quoted as saying:

"No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite."

Apply this quote to the material presented in Ch. 7, i.e., learning/conditioning. Do you agree or disagree with this quote? Do you believe people are conditioned (taught) to hate or is hate a natural occurrence? If hate is learned, can it be unlearned? Conversely, are people conditioned (taught) to love or is love a natural occurrence? If love is learned, can it be unlearned?
