Is it easier to love or to hate? Why?

I think it’s easier to hate. Love takes courage and trust. You give up part of yourself to love. Hate often seems to come by so naturally to people.

Why does everyone think hate is the opposite of love? It isn't, its fear!

@JovialPlutonian I agree. Actually, a more appropriate opposite is apathy. This question isn’t meant to imply the two are opposites, but thanks for your opinion.

@WanderingThrough apathy is lack of passion.

@JovialPlutonian Again, thanks for your opinion. If my question said ‘is it easier for you to walk or run?’ it wouldn’t be implying that the two are opposites, because the opposite of both is to stand still. The opposite of both love and hate is apathy. Both love and hate are passionate.

@WanderingThrough no mate the opposing emotion to love is fear, you need to educate yourself. Apathy is detachment of feeling, passion is the opposite of apathy read your dictionary it's not my opinion.

@JovialPlutonian Fear is an emotion that is caused by the threat of danger or harm. The way I look at that, it’s not the opposite of love which is a strong feeling of affection. For the third time, I never implied love and hate were opposites. By all means, keep going, I love repeating myself for you.

@WanderingThrough and I never said you did and it's actually a perceived threat lol

@JovialPlutonian By saying ‘why does everyone think hate is opposite of love’ you’re implying that is my intent. Get yourself a dictionary. :) even a perceived threat is not the opposite of love, haha.

@WanderingThrough I wasn't implying that at all, you are so stupid, I'm implying there never is a threat.
WanderingThrough · 31-35, F
@JovialPlutonian Oh I definitely see how your original comment meant nothing like what I thought it did. It makes complete sense as an answer to the question I asked. :)

@JovialPlutonian

I use the Oxford dictionary, just to be clear. It’s a threat... :)

@WanderingThrough it wasn't an answer to the question you asked it was a response to your statement. It would be more accurate to ask is it easier to love or to fear. You might as well say is it easier to have ginger hair or blue eyes. Anyway you obviously don't get it. It was never means for an arguement. Don't know why you have to be so petty.

@WanderingThrough blimmy you still don't get it do you. Ffs drop your ego, it's supposed to be easier for women 🤦🏻‍♂️

@JovialPlutonian But my question wasn’t to compare opposites is what I’m trying to explain to you, my question was to compare two equally passionate emotions. I’m still not in agreement that fear is the best opposite for love anyway, but it’s fine for us to disagree on that. My point was and still is that I was not trying to compare things that are opposites. Hate and love are both really strong and really passionate emotions but I never meant to imply they are opposites.

@JovialPlutonian I don’t have an ego, haha. I think I know what I meant when I asked the question! Haha, relax.
JovialPlutonian · 36-40, M
@WanderingThrough at least I answered your question for you; it's easier for you to fear.
WanderingThrough · 31-35, F
@JovialPlutonian No, haha. Thank you though, I actually appreciate your comments.
JovialPlutonian · 36-40, M
@WanderingThrough I gathered that by the impressions you give. Oh well!

@JovialPlutonian I’m sorry that you read too much into the tone of my messages and that you aren’t able to have dialogue with a person who doesn’t agree with you 100%.
