We find passion both in love and hate.
We find passion both in love and hate
If we try to define love-besides we catch our ears-we find there tenderness and friendship and admiration and affection, and we also have some kind of attachment, forgiveness, tolerance, understanding, acceptance, unity , Devotion, passion, compassion, attraction ... a whole panoply of emotions without which we can not conceive this feeling so deeply and complexly. I have tried to say all of this in one word - besides love - and the only satisfactory conclusion I have reached is that love means to care a great deal for someone. Under countless aspects, all positive and protective. Care. Birds.
So it has seemed more and more fitting to think that the opposite of love is indifference - indifference - and not hatred. Hating someone involves passion. Thinking day and night with the target person, looking for ways and means of harming them. Yes, the passion is found on the list of emotions contained by both feelings - love and hate. Love and hatred sometimes intersect, so they do not seem to give me a convincing opposition.
However, we might ask: why is the effort to make good to a being (by love) not opposed to the effort of doing evil (that would mean to hate it)? Would it not overlap with the opposition between good and evil? Could we make a list of features describing hatred, as opposed to the above, contained in love? Almost yes.
Then let's think about the consequences. What's worse: hurt someone intentionally or know that he needs something, you have and you do not give him? That eventually this is a matter of indifference. I find both varieties as bad.
Love that unites us with the Source of Life
I think who put the problem this way - that the opposite of love is indifference, and not hatred - it meant a different love. A deep, comprehensive, non-personal love. How is Christ's love. He did not love people as a man, he saw them from a perspective where the problem of hatred is not. Christ's love seems to me above all of those characteristics listed above, because she sees the human being through her supreme purpose, being united with God.
From this point of view, indifference becomes fatal. That indifference that makes us not care who we are, where we come from and where we lead. The one who turns us into some placid blinds running day and night after billions of unnecessary, ephemeral things. The indifference that makes us die dying the purpose of existence, worse than death itself.
Indifference is the one that paralyzes Love above love and hate, Love that would unite us with the Source of life, if we let it do our job through us. Indifference born out of ignorance of not knowing that every choice we make counts.
Wise men say that if we really want to change the world, we have to start by being our best. It would hardly begin to count our efforts on the immense suffering that millions of people are struggling with. And it is only then that we wake up from the sleep of indifference that annihilates our love for the neighbor who is with us.

I find that with time the feeling of hatred will pass - but love, love to me is an endless feeling.
Love will overcome all hate...
@pocketechange
true
both love and hate come in deep state of feeling
you cannot change world, but you can change yourself
We all love ourselves more than other people, but care more about their opinion than our own.
Love that unites human life to be affectionate throughout the world, love is a creation of god that can not be in touch but can be felt.
Interesting
Respective. I always think that the opposite of love is fear. Not hate. Because people hate what they fear. I think Christ understood that about people. "Forgive them father, they know not what they are doing." The people acted out of fear against Jesus. They could not understand this power he was, and they turned against him out of fear. Not knowing how to control him. The wise men you speak of are onto something for sure. I imagine a world without government or laws would only exist if the people governed themselves with love and being the best that they are. Thank you for this reminder my friend.
