(September 18, 2011 at 10:29 am)Ashendant Wrote: Nah, you are seeing the wrong context, love is the opposite of hate, because by your logic indefference would be the oppsite of hate, the truth is that indifference or apathy is the middle ground.

Tell that to the boyfriend/girlfriend who screams and goes crazy saying "I hate you, I wish you would die! I HATE YOU MORE THAN EVERYTHING!" and then 3 hours later calls up their boyfriend/girlfriend telling them how much they love them and never want to be without them again.

The opposite of caring for someone and wanting to be with someone (love) is
not caring and not wanting to be with someone (indifference or apathy).

Love and hate are both very strong emotions for someone.

Opposite of having feelings (love/hate)? No feelings. (indifference/apathy)
