| Love and hate are two opposing emotions. Each of them is at the opposite end of emotion: The positive pole is love and the negative pole is hate. But despite the contrasts between them, we often find that they are intertwined and go together. These are ambivalent emotions.
Hate:
Hate is like the individual’s hell. It destroys, distorts, leads to war and anger.
Hate is a feeling of rejection, opposition, negativity, enmity of mankind, objects or ideas.
Hate is liable to stem from fear, from a sense of inferiority, or from being hurt by a person or group.
Hate can also be related to prejudices (the phenomenon of racism).
The fear with hate is that sometimes it is stored and bottled up for a long time, until the moment comes and everything erupts. This breaking point can be manifested aggressively and violently.
Feelings that are close to the feeling of hatred include feelings such as loathing and scorn. Synonyms for this emotion include: hostility, animosity, which indicate various and extreme degrees of hate.
In religion and culture hate is considered a negative emotion, which brings disaster on those who possess it. In certain religions hate is even considered a sin.
Love:
Love is a beautiful and healthy characteristic. Love combats hate. Love is a basic existential need of mankind. A person who ceases to love is, in effect, no longer alive. Love is not an expression of weakness. It is an expression of strength, joy and elation. Love causes smiles and happiness.
Love can lead to aggressive and destructive thoughts and acts stemming from jealousy and greed.
Love has a great advantage over hate. While hate creates tension, anger and bitterness, love relieves and causes laughter, enjoyment and happiness.
Hate is considered an emotion that is opposed to love or friendship. Sometimes hate and love are intertwined. And sometimes love can be replaced by hate and vice versa.
