There seems to be a lot of confusion going around regarding, in what terms I mean “love”. That’s my fault, I apologize for the lack of detail; I’ll try to clarify. What I’m really asking here is a bigger question than “what is the opposite of loving someone or something.” This is more of a life-sized question. As in, all thoughts/feelings/emotions/actions/ideas/& words ultimately come from a place of love, or __________. As Freud would say, all our actions, thoughts, or otherwise are driven by the goal of sex. (not that I necessarily agree with that) But similarly here, I’m trying to break down the origins of thoughts/feelings/etc… to their most basic opposing point of origin.
For example, if you have a religious person who stands by the theory that all things are as science dictates they are, but they were merely set in motion by god. Then that religious person and an atheist would be able to agreeably argue on all things up until the point that they reached their most fundamental belief. At that point they would be left with only two root perspectives: “god” and “not god”.
If the classic “____ is to ____, as ____ is to ____” might further clarify here, I’ll pose this:
God is to love, as the absence of god is to ______.
(Don’t take that last point literally in your thought process. It’s just an attempt at posing a conceptual analogy suggestive of the universal opposition I’m looking for here)
p.s. – I’m not suggesting that’s not what any of you were answering to begin with, or that your answers will change at all, or that your answers are wrong in any way… I don’t know what the answer is; and I don’t know if “love” is even one end of that ultimate dichotomy I’m contemplating here. I just wanted to unanimously clarify regardless.
p.p.s – is there a way to just reply to all on here?
