Opposite of Love

RE: Opposite of Love
(November 20, 2018 at 9:47 am)tackattack Wrote: hrm... After digesting some of the responses I see some similarities.

We have
A. those that see the opposite of one emotion being another emotion
B. those that feel any emotion is just a degree on a scale and the opposite is a null position
C. people like possibletarian that just sit on the fence and refuse to make any assertion. (no offense meant, I hope none taken)

How do A type people explain feeling multiple opposing emotions at the same time or towards the same thing?

Both are acceptable. The opposite of one force is usually an equal and opposite force. The point being that opposites exist along the same axis, so opposition would require being a force. But presence is also opposite to absence, so that's valid as well. I don't see the two as necessarily inconsistent so much as a difference in emphasis upon what specifically one is placing the opposition against. And that decision has no logical resolution.
