tinypixie: Hi everyone thought I'd make this thread to rattle our brain cells.....but more so our spiritual selves....
1. Name at least one good thing about hatred and why.....
2.Name at least one bad thing about love and why....
Anyone up for a challenge in philosophy?
Not sure if I am up for the challenge but am intrigued by the questions:
1. One good thing about hatred.....it causes one to delve into themselves to find the reason for the hatred and can sometimes assist in releasing the hatred.
2. One bad thing about love....it can cause one to lose their identity, their being until all they become is a shell of their former selves.

1. Yes I agree
2. In my view love cannot do this......to love someone but hide behind a shell where one cannot be themselves, is called control.....however, to be humble in Love, one does NOT need to submit......to go against what you belive in is not Love....equality in ALL things is true Love

1) Only one thing good in the town of hatred.....the road out. "Hate leads to anger, anger leads to fear, fear leads to suffering" (to quote yoda from star wars)
2) The worst thing about love is that it clouds your judgement. You make rash, unwise decisions and behave in a way you wouldn't normally i.e. you aren't yourself. So someone falls in love with that 'other you' in effect. Once you calm down after the initial excitement the other person no longer seems to recognise you and thinks your a different person. They walk away and you're left to heal another broken heart.

femjkw: 1. It allows you to recognize your weakness.2. If love becomes too focused for any one person it can be harmful, ie self love would be selfish if not balanced with love for others.
1. Yes, but to do so one must have a conscience that they listen to...
2. Agape....Love....in all the things we Love or think that we love.....we should always put others before ourselves wthout becoming doormats......if we don't do this it cannot be Love....it is called our desire to be loved and accepted....

1. Yep. Hatred leads to anger to suffer etc...spot on mate...
2. Nope, not quite.....true love is all about being who you truly are.....be it the poet on top of a hill seranading or the man buying a drink in the pub.....the "other you" is hidden because none of us like to be rejected......so we put up a charade in front of others to "test them out"...........true love will allow you to be fully you......no matter what,how and why others think about you.....don't get me wrong.....descrection needs to be used too....its just learning about to whom and why you share yourself....

The only thing good i can say about hate is that it brings out the love around us.....Love is something that is hard to find but when you do find it you want need to ask the question...what is love,you will know that it is some thing wonderful inside ones self.

The only thing I disagree upon is the finding part.....I believe we are born with the ability and desire to love....we simply need to accept this....questioning and weighing oneself is a healthy thing to do, but, if one questions herself too much, she may become skeptical of the intentions of others.....my suggestion is to lay down "guidelines" and question them.....I know you do not want to "lose" the one you loved again....but I'm saying to you that you cannot "lose" anything that you loved with your heart n spirit....all you have to do is to continue loving him....and any man that cannot understand this is not the right one for you.....

I think as we get older we can't help but a bit skeptical ...i trust my gut,it usually works for me..Its a bit harder on the internet to pick up on people,they can be anybody behind a screen...in real life its a bit easyer.
