Dear readers,
I appologize for vanashing and not blogging for some time now, but I was reading my friend's blog and she was talking about sadness. And a question popped into my head. Whats the deal with love and hate? So here is my point of view on things - take it, as you should take everything people write/say, with a grain of salt. [just a bigger grain for me ;)]
Why do people say that hate is a stronger word than love? I believe they are equally strong, and equally weak. I think we use the word love way to often to describe things that we simply like or think are cool. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe, just maybe, we all have a lot of love in our hearts that we want to share with the world and it simply comes out as an incorrect expression of "oh cool! i LOVE those shoes/clothes/colors/houses/fill in the blank. Maybe, love is what we should be saying all the time, instead of playing the blame game and pointing fingers at one another - because after all, three other fingers are pointing right back at you. So instead, we extend our hands in peace and love, to show that we really do care. But still, something keeps nagging me that we shouldn't over use the L word because it could lose its meaning. But is it right not to say something for the fear of loss of value? When have we ever let fear stop us from doing anything? After all, the losers are not the ones who come in last - the losers are the ones that have quit before they start out of fear.
On the other hand, hate is a strong word that no one likes to use. If I say, "i hate that outfit" or "i hate you", even if I dont mean i HATE something, people say "hey! dont say hate! say dislike. hate is a strong word". The only thing I have to say to that is - DUH. Hate is a strong word, but so is love. And if we are allowed to express our love for something, even if its not actually love, why cant we express our hate, even if its not really hate? I dont know. All im saying is that words can be manipulated any which way you want. So say what you mean, because if you dont, then you just wasted your time and the other person's time (the listener(s)). Okay that's enough rambling from me [coincedentally, the school im going to has a "rambler" as their mascot. what the hell is a rambler? apparently an overgrown, overstuffed bear.]
Peace, love/hate, whatever.

Overall, I think too much and too philosophically. Venture into the stream of insanity I call my consciousness and take it, as everything, with a grain of salt. The size (and type) of that grain is yours to decide.
Hey hey is this 'cause of me? :D
ReplyDeleteAnyway, REALLY insightful; totally agree that hate and love should be viewed as opposites, and therefore as equals.
hahaha why do you ask??
ReplyDeleteyeah i felt like being insightful that day. im thinking of writing about who we are/what defines us. what do you think of that, eh?? :)
