Quoting the lumineers song and some people before them, they say it is "indifference". I agree with that. I don't think it's hate.... But then again I'm almost 40 and wear an apron at work so what the fuck do I know?

I have cereal to eat and how to get away with murder to watch . I look forward to your responses Phone Post 3.0

a lack of something does not necessarily mean the opposite of.

That's like saying the opposite of right isn't left, but is the middle.

No. I hate peas because I hear them.



I hate Hitler because I just simply don't understand him. And that scares me.

Royale with Cheese - The opposite of love is fear. Every other negative emotion arises from fear. People claim to often "hate" things that they don't understand simply because they are afraid of them. Phone Post 3.0
Reminds me of something else I've discovered. You cannot be depressed over a girl and be afraid of the boogieman or general fear at same time. They must share the same part of brain. Phone Post 3.0

Apathy, IMO.

Have you read Gates of Fire by Steven Pressfield? That is one of the central questions that Olympeus asks Alexandros and Xeones.

A loveless marriage by definition is more likely to be indifferent and not hate. Hate can come and go. Indifference is usually the end .... TRUST ME! Phone Post 3.0

If they hate you then they still care. Once they've hit indifference then you're done.

I think that actually makes sense, hate implies you care. Two of my exes, serious relationships, have died. With one, I was crushed, with the other one I mainly felt bad for her family. Phone Post 3.0

i'm thinking that emotions cannot have opposites. Kind of like colors. they can have contrasts but not opposites.
