LOVE AND HATE

                                    LOVE AND HATE

                  “Innately, there are qualities in human beings that are always repetitive.
              There are things like love and hate and jealousy that are going to be there forever.”                                                                                                      Shiloh Fernandez

Love and hate are the most pure and intense emotions that a human being is able to feel. These feelings might have existed since the time we humans have existed. Most people think them to be opposite to each other but they are very similar and are just the opposite sides of the same coin.

However, in today’s age the emotions have lost their purity and intensity. People are using the words without even feeling them. We love someone one moment and in other moment, it is someone else. Most people throw the word around a lot without even taking in the consideration the emotion attached to it. In addition to it, we even start hating people we thought we loved if they do not reciprocate our feelings making the feeling seem useless. We also have forgotten about words, like and dislike that are little less in powerful than love and hate but are more fitting in most situations. The usage of these words has increased in order for us to show how passionate we are about someone. People actually are often confused to decide between whether they are in love or just infatuated with someone and they chose to believe that they are in love, as said earlier because they need to show the other person how passionate and love is the most intense emotion there is. Hate is also facing a similar situation where when something does not happen to our wishes we start hating it. If someone we love does not love us in most cases we start hating them or if we do not get anything we want we start even hating our parents. The difference between hate and dislike is very small hence the over usage of the word hate. In addition, the line between love and obsession is blurred. Obsession initiates violence and hatred (but not the real emotion) in us whereas love never does but due to line being blurred people take obsession to be love and take extreme steps. People’s obsession with their own religion or there obsession over someone they believe that they are in love with are some of the examples of violent obsession. In order to be seen as being better or fit in a group or being accepted we start hating people that others hate. Obsession propagates violence and people tend mask it by believing it to be love.

Love and hate are such emotions people get confuse them with like, dislike or obsession, as the difference is not that big. The line between emotions are getting so blurred that people are getting more and confused about their feelings and will keep getting till we start to becoming more patient and just learn to wait.
