Opposite of Love

RE: Opposite of Love
-wrap that line around into a circle.  Wink
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

RE: Opposite of Love
I like plutchik's wheel of emotions, especially that motions can be positive or negative. I disagree that they can't be neutral, I believe that's where indifference or non-emotion lies and that's the opposite of emotional. So you can either be at 0 or +4love or -2hate , etc.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

Ohhhh...Val, you can't be the opposite of love.... You're all love!

Btw for me opposite of love this is kind of indifference...we know that we can love and hate someone in the same moment... so for me the opposite of love is the lack of any feelings ... lack of interest ... no reaction to someone or something ... so I bet on indifference ...but of course according to the dictionary, the opposite of love is hatred ... and I'm not going to argue with it😀

You wouldn't say that if you knew the mood I'm in at the moment.

I would say indifference. Love implies a feeling that we're often willing to act upon and so does hate. Apathetic often means no feeling at all.

RE: Opposite of Love
Yeah, if we were putting them all on a wheel of emotional investment, and trying to keep hate and love at opposite poles..we'd need two placeholders for indifference, but indifference can't exactly be the opposite of indifference.  

ala:

         Indiff
Love            Hate
         Indiff

So, to my mind, it's more like;

love hate
like dislike
Indiff

(what the eff on that formatting....lol?)

The thing is, human emotions and the way the brain works are complex and differ from person to person.
So our answers to the OP are often reflective of who we are and how we interact with other people.

Agreed, and it was the intent.
