Is it possible to love deeply & hate @ the same time? My Grandmother always told me, "you can only hate someone that you truly love." I often wonder how true that is.
When someone hurts you (family or friend), I mean REALLY hurt you, there's a part of you that begins to HATE them so much. Further, there's something that begins to stir, to burn deep in side you that wants to see them hurt as much as you hurt.
It's not until you've reached this point that you realize how much of your heart a person (recklessly) held in the palm of their hands. But, when all emotions are calmed & things are still, you remember the LOVE that you have for them, the love that supercedes all.
-Prof. E. Beard-
I am one that truly believe that you can love so deeply and hate at the same time. Have you heard the old saying "Lovers spread love" and "Haters spread hate". I also believe that in some point in our lives we have to forgive the people/person whom has done us so wrong, because speaking from experience it will not only make you emotionally sick but also physically sick, which is not good for our health. It is a beautiful thing to love, be love, have love, and show love. When I feel haters near ( family, friends, co-workers, classmates etc.) at this day and time I say PRAISE GOD and leave it alone.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Shawn and Mrs. Erika. "Lovers spread love" and "Haters spread hate".
ReplyDeleteVery true & I do agree with you. I don't understand why in times of dysfunction and/or turmoil, people become so crazy. Family members arguing about stupid things; it's just crazy.
ReplyDeleteThere is a very fine line between love and hate. Sometimes you can't have one without the other. If you hate someone, you have feelings for them. Even if they are negative. Love is also a feeling, and can cause you to hate someone sometimes even though you really love them. But the hate will go away and the love will remain, usually.
ReplyDeleteI agree; it is an extremely fine line between love and hate. Very true.
DeleteI can honestly say that I have never hated anyone in my whole life. I was raised to love, even if it means to get hurt by people. Love is my biggest attribute and goal. I have been angry with people or felt stupid for letting people hurt me, but it is a choice to hurt. Believe it or not, being hurt by someone is a choice. You can choose to hurt, or choose to stand taller knowing that you are better than that. They should not be given the power to knock you down and keep you down there. "Misery Loves Company" is what I was told. It is very true.
DeleteI LOVE this & trust me, I'm taking it ALL in. Thank you for your words of wisdom.
DeleteTheir is a fine line between love and hate !!!!!!
