You need to analyze what is making you feel this way. Ask yourself is it worth such extreme emotion. What effects may your emotion towards him have on himself? Are you contributing to your relationship tensions? Hate is a negative and destructive emotion. It has a bad impact on yourself and your victim. Even if that person is doing you wrong you could address them and simply communicate. That would have much better outcomes than being hateful. As you communicate and work things out the mutual feelings of love and respect will be reciprocated. Hate is terrible, love will heal.

I think looking at yourself with a perspective that is positive helps. I mean one of the reason you start hating someone is because you feel you are deprived of the resources the others have at disposal. Other could out of purely dislike in which case you can be a better judge of character by formulating a complete image of the person, your brother by considering all the pros with the cons. This will help you to overcome the spiral loop of negativity that is perpetuating the hatred. Lastly, whenever you find yourself in thoughts that are fueling such emotions, consciously call them out and stop them. This a technique we use in meditation, simply making yourself aware of it and consciously moving on from it.

Sometimes, we feel hate to protect ourselves from a softer, more vulnerable emotion. Other times, we feel hate because we feel misunderstood by someone, or we don't understand them very well. A good place to start is by asking yourself why you feel this hate - every time you find an answer, ask yourself "why" about that answer (like a toddler asking "why" over and over!). Eventually, this can help you reach the core emotion and start processing it. If you start feeling a more vulnerable emotion (like sadness, fear, or grief), that means you've probably found it! When you uncover vulnerable emotions and let them be heard and felt, they often melt away on their own. Another thing to try is spending time with your brother, asking him questions, learning about him, and sharing things about yourself with him, too. Often, just getting to know someone better and truly understanding them makes us feel more compassion and love towards them.

Your brother might have done things to you that upsets you,I understand it,but hating a person especially your own brother will not take you far in life,because hate in your heart you will consume you,that poison will kill you not them,just for a moment remember all the good things he has done to you,I understand its not easy,but he is family and maybe he is looking at you as a role model and a wants some support empathy and love,plese give him an another chance and go talk to him about issue that are bothering him,maybe he will open his heart to you,maybe deep down he trusts you more than anyone could give him a chance

This is probably something very different for everyone, there seems to be a point when nobody really likes their siblings or brothers. But one idea to maybe start getting past the hating-your-brother would be to simply pretend to love them. And eventually you'll get to where you do love them, hopefully. It's not easy, to pretend to love someone that you don't really love. You don't even really have to try to be terribly nice (just be a decent person, really). You don't even have to even think kindly of your brother. But if you can simply think 'this is my brother, and I love him', well, it might not work at first, but with practice, maybe you can learn to actually love him.
