The opposite of love isn't hate

t he opposite of love is not hate. in fact if you hate someone then you are probably passionate about it. i mean it takes a lot of emotion & energy to hate someone. first of all you got to think about hating them. i mean think hateful thoughts. then you gotta feel the hate. i mean you gotta really despise the individual. of course you have to probably act like you hate them as well. i mean, silent treatment or dramatic arguing or fighting. anything to physically express just how much you can't stand that person. man i tell you while you are busy hating them, they are sleeping like babies every night not worried about your sorry a**. so i don't have time to waste on hatin. i mean i got better things to do with my energy. making my dreams come true. living life. spending time with people i love.the opposite of love is indifference or apathy. when you can care less. when it doesn't even matter anymore. when they don't cross your mind. when you feel absolutely nothing. not hate. not resentment. not sadness. not anger. not grief. not despair. not hoplessness. not betrayal. not guilt. not fear. only when you have transformed that hate into nothingness. when you wish them no ill will. when you can just go about your life as if they never was even a character in your story. What's about you. Do you agree with this article???

  • I totally agree with this article , the opposite of love is indifference or apathy . if you hate someone it means that you still have a feelings for that person and you still emotionally attached to him /her because if you don't have a feelings at all why would you hate in the first place.
    thanks for sharing
    best wishes

    Hate, it is in the dark side of the soul. Somebody said: "you can study the light, but not the darkness, because the darkness is just the absence of light". Hate is an illness, and we get over it.
    So, the best you can do is to switch on your lights, bit by bit.
    We learn to love peacefully, without strong emotions. You can love the other even if he/she is sleeping like a baby and he/she is not thinking or dreaming of your great pain. The life is YOUR business, it is not the business of others.
    All the best, my friend!

    Hello Reeam Ali,

    Yes, i agree with your post. Hate is still a feeling and it needs energy from the person who feels it, it's negative and bad and it can destroy the person who has such sentiment toward someone.

    As George Bernard Shaw said :
    "The worst sin towards our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to
    them, that's the essence of inhumanity".
