When we love we cannot hate; when we hate we cannot love. I was talking to some people at a coffee joint last night debating this issue of coexistence, or lack there of with them. I believe that if you have true love in your heart then it is harder for you to hate than someone who does not have true love in their heart. Hate is hatred, it is the fire that burns the rose. You cannot light a beautiful flower on fire and expect the flames not to damage the flower. There is coexistence for a moment where there is both the flower and the flames, but quickly there after the flames take over and the beauty is dead.

I understand that you may argue that the coexistence can be created, where love and hate are both burning at the same time very strongly. This is acceptable if the hate is directed to the fear of losing your love. (Example: you fear that the robber might take the life of your wife, so you hate the robber). I’m talking about a love and hate relationship where they ARE NOT linked. Hate directed in other directions from your love. I feel that that coexistence is impossible, while others feel that it is possible.

What’s your view on this? (Note my coexistence of love and hate are not linked to each other. They simply exist in completely different areas of the person at hand.)

I love your avatar

You don't love all of my avatars?

I believe hate and love need to coexist in order for each of them to be recognized. You can't feel one extreme without experience the other extreme at the end of the spectrum. Using your fire and flower analogy. You can't truly appreciate the flower's beauty and perfection unless you have been exposed to ugliness and imperfection prior to that.

yeah but I didn't want you to find out

I want someone to walk on my back too.....It sure beats when people just walk on me

Yes I agree with you. Prior and after in order to recognize the others existance. But I'm talking about the coexistence in the same heart at the same time, not before or after the fact.

When you are talking about two extremes, it can be very difficult to distinguish the difference, even if they are complete opposites. It is very much possible to be utterly in love with one thing and totally hate another. But if you are talking about one specific thing, I can see that it is in fact possible to love and hate at the same time, for the same reason, at the same thing.

Getting walked on is nice. My back, that is.
