The local news site has been bleating on (by this I mean there was an article I didn't read and a poll I didn't answer) about Hate and how Love and Hate are so closely related. I think that the article probably said something about the brain and blah blah the areas controlling are close blah blah. A whole lot of stuff I don't really need to know and aren't surprised about. Is it wrong to be so cavalier about someone's life research work?
anyway, I find the emotion Hate to be one just as confusing as Love. Sure there are people I dislike, most of them are because they are stupid, and a few of them are because they have actually done something to me or my friends that has immensely pissed me off, and as a Scorpio girl, i really do hold a grudge. but I don't think i actually hate anyone. I dont believe anyone is actually worthy of me investing this amount of emotion into.
What is Hate anyway? is it when someone makes you so angry you want them dead? so badly it causes your stomach to turn and feel queasy? You must feel retched just thinking about the target of your hatred. and what are you going to do about it all? Ruin your own life because of this emotion?
not surprisingly much of the above can be said about Love. real love anyway, that Great Love.
Interesting that there are possibly healthier, lesser and more accurate emotions of Hate - anger, disappointment, embarrassment, frustration, confusion, dislike etc which can move us away from the Hate feeling.
Whereas Love is used for many relationships and often used instead of things like: companionship, lust, like, friendship, connection, family, sex, which all try to move us closer to Love or we try to move ourselves closer to Love without actually achieving it.
where am i going with all of this? I don't know. no where i guess. just saying.
