Perhaps hate is not the opposite of love[1]... but that isn't the real question here. What we should be pondering is how bananas and strawberry syrup are opposites... yet people put both of these on their ice cream :madscientist:

1: It is... hate = strong or intense dislike (negatively valued), love = strong or intense like (positively valued). These are necessarily opposites.

Won't you guys ever let Star Wars die? Smile
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
