I definitely disagree with the idea that love and hate are not opposites.

Whether or not love and hate are opposites depends on how you look at it. I think of love and hate as diametrically opposed and mutually exclusive feelings. You can’t love and hate something at the same time (yes, you can hate certain traits of something and love others, but I think you can’t simultaneously love and hate the same trait).

Apathy is the lack of feeling, is it not? Is that not the same as a neutral feeling? If your feelings about something, are they not also neutral? If this is the case, you could say that there is a love/hate linear scale with hate at one end and love at the other. In in the middle is apathy, where you feel neutral, neither love nor hate.

Another possible construct is a love/hate/apathy triangle, with love at one corner, hate at another, and apathy at the third. All are diametrically opposed and mutually exclusive, or, in other words, opposites, which is basically what I think you are saying in this post.

Wow, your class sounds awesome. You’ll have to share things you’ve been learning…I like your post here. Nicely said.

Hmmmm: I see what you are saying, but it’s kind of hard not to think of love and hate as opposites. I would think the opposite of loving someone would be hating them. But just because I don’t hate someone necessarily means I love or even like them…

About if it’s possible of someone loving and hating at the same time: maybe.
