Love&Hate

The opposite of love isn’t hate; it is indifference. If you don’t love something or someone, you couldn’t care less about them. But then what does that make hate the opposite of? What does that make hate at all? Is it hand in hand with love then? Or is it some branch of love cuz you pay attention to that person. Honestly, I have no idea, but when you hate someone, you DO think about that person a lot too. Even if it’s about slitting their throat, humiliating them or whatever, it’s still a thought that’s present in your head.

Then there’s the whole love from hate, hate from love thing. I hear people saying that you can’t really know your love for someone unless you’ve felt utter hate for them. I guess that’s kinda true. I mean, if you hate a person, all you see is all their flaws and emphasize them, but when you love them, you accept it. I guess? I don’t understand it that much.

I DO understand where the hate from love idea comes from. If you love someone so much and they totally betray you, then damn, yeah you could hate them for it. But really, I don’t think hate can ever be born from real love. You can’t hate someone you TRULY loved. If you do, then it’s either not hate at all or you never loved them in the first place. I see so many guys and girls get together, loving each other and everything’s all good and fine. But then there comes the breakup and all of a sudden, the girl is a slut or a bitch or both. And the boy is a jerk or douche or and asshole. But see, when they loved each other, they gave each other the ability to hurt the other. When you love someone, you should trust them enough to know that they wouldn’t purposely hurt you. But when that DOES happen, what you hate isn’t the person themself, but what they did.

People cry about what people they hate did to them. People cry about what people they love did to them. Whether you love or a hate a person, that person has the ability to hurt you, and it’s just whether you want them to have that ability or not. I guess.

A lotta times, I don’t even believe there’s such a thing as true love. I think when anyone first gets with someone, they don’t really love them at all. I think everyone is using someone else. You’re using your boyfriend so you don’t get lonely and you get someone who takes you out and hugs you from behind. You use your girlfriend to show that you got some balls and to have someone to show you some affection. Of course I’m not saying that’s all a relationship is, but in every single relationship I’ve seen, there is always an aspect of that. In any relationship, really, whether they be with best friends, confidantes, etc.

You can’t hate an ex. You hate what they did to you and how they made you feel after, but you can’t hate an ex. People use other feelings to describe loving or hating something or someone. That light headed feeling you get when he’s hugging you? That’s called happiness. The chest-tightening you get when you see her with another guy is called jealousy. Your heart beating fast when you see her? Called excitement. The sinking feeling you get when he’s avoiding you is called rejection. The throbbing in your head when you see them is called anger. That perfection when you’re kissing them? It’s called epiphany. That flawlessness when you’re with them is called peace. Any negative feeling calls for hate. Their counterparts are definitive of love. That’s why I think loving and hating someone at the same time is possible.

But then again, don’t believe. I’m just an observer who takes notes in her head when she learns of something new. And remember, we’re humans. Our feelings are just a big cauldron of everything mixed together carelessly, just signals and chemicals and hormones our brain sends out. Just cause and effect.

But then again, who gives a damn?
