I love donuts and l hate it when l can't find them. I guess it does. Not so sure about that second part.

@AmiSue My sincere apology. I was being thoughtless.

You can't apply Newton's Laws of Motion to self-help manuals.

Aren't love and hate emotions rather than the scientific terminology for actions?

Spot on !!!

I think that the opposite of Love is Fear but you might be able to separate them if they are not equal If I love 75 per cent and fear 25 per cent? I am an absolute eejit in maths so feel free to mock!

I think you're confusing science with emotion.

I think that Newton's third law applies to Motion not emotion!

The opposite of Love isn't Hate and vice versa, it is indifference. Love and Hate are both powerful emotional responses towards someone or something. The opposite would be to have no emotional response whatsoever.

The action/reaction thing is a physical phenomenon. It can be observed and measured. Love and hate- not so much.

No. In my experience love creates more love, and hate creates more hate.

I wouldn't say generate. I would say that opposites define each other. You cannot love without knowing hate -- doesn't mean the same person. The same is true in reverse. We learn about both as children watching people around us. It is a part of the programming we all receive as we grow.

I always put love against fear (not hate) seems to me Love is an absence of fear not hate .

Love and hate have a relationship like light and darkness. One obviates the other--but not the other way around.

Level 3

People confuse love with interest it depends what the definition of love is for the individual. Once you’re not getting what you want out of that person then it turns into hate.
