The Line Between Love and Hate

Anyone else notice how the line between love and hate is invisible?

A glance or a past experience would surely tell you that this is true. Think back of that other half that you thought you would die without. TRIED to die without even.

One minute a heated arguement. The next, passionate and animalistic sex. Emphasis on animalistic. Humans love when loved. Hate when hurt. Sometimes even love being hurt or hurting. What complicated animals we are. For all the culture and social norms we conform to, deep down the primal instincts still kick in.

However, if you asked me, things were alot simpler when all you had to do was brain the woman you had the hots for with an ample sized club.

'WOMAN... ME... LIKE...'
*bash*
*drags to cave*

Unless of course you had a thing for an exceptionally thick skulled lady. In that case you might wanna bring a few spare clubs. We all know how thick headed women can be about some things at times. . . . . at most of the time . . . well... alright... all the time ;)

Today, instead of clubs, one's weapons are BIG cars, BIG bucks, BIG houses, BIG devotion and lotsa other BIG things. And women say size don't matter. *Rolls eyes* Right. Perhaps size doesn't matter, but LACK of SIZE definately does.

Sorry to all ya chinese dudes =(

I'd like to say I feel you... but that sounds odd. Moving swiftly along.

Love? Lets us take a peek at dictionary.com for a definition of such complicated little word. Why is there a Jennifer Love Hugetits' (Jennifer Love Hewitt) picture here (before she was anorexic that is)... Oh, my bad. Thats dicktionary.com. Silly me.

Here's an edited list from the thesaurus.

adulation, affection, allegiance, amity, amorousness, amour, appreciation, ardency, ardor, attachment, case, cherishing, crush, delight, devotedness, devotion, emotion, enchantment, enjoyment, fervor, fidelity, flame, fondness, friendship, hankering, idolatry, inclination, infatuation, involvement, like, lust, mad for, partiality, passion, piety, rapture, regard, relish, respect, sentiment, soft spot, taste, tenderness, the hots, weakness, wild for, worship, yearning, zeal

anyone else find it interesting that half the words can or definately connote sexual implications?
ardency, ardor, enjoyment, fervor, fidelity, hankering, lust, mad for,passion,the hots, wild for, yearning

then you have the more puppy eye'd kinda love -
adulation, affection, attachment, cherishing, crush, delight, devotedness, devotion, fondness, idolatry, infatuation, soft spot

the cynical outlook -
allegiance, involvement, weakness

In eskimo land theres 20+ words for snow. Seriously. Yet in the english language we have ONE word for love despite the fact that there are so many types of love.

A good example can be found in the reactions to the awesome epic Titanic. The scene where Leo De Cap goes:
'Never give up! Never let go!'

In general, lots of weepy eyed people in the cinema. Gosh, thats sooo touching kinda mushy love reaction. However, if you listen carefully, you'd have heard a few heads being slapped. Like minded people like me LOVED watching that pathethic excuse for an androgenous male die!

'HAHA... Leo turned into a popsicle'
'OMFG... she ripped his finger off!'

Are amongst comments I've heard from numerous horror stories regarding the movie. Poor traumatised girlfriends.

What of the world? How many cases of murders of 'loved' ones happen daily.

'Omg... he shagged my secratary, bye bye to his crown jewels.'
'He likes Peter Andre's ab's better than mine. Eat gun powder you ruff-putting imbecile.'
'I wanted to shoot her lover's penis and her head off with two shots. To my despair I managed that with only one bullet.'

Crimes of passion these little incidences are dubbed. Again it shows just how the invisible line between love and hate is. The guy you love to bits today, is the very same person you might blow to bits (no crude pun intended) the very next day.

We LOVE our family do we not? How come then, most of us find ourselves tearing bits of hair out in frustration when conversing with parents or siblings? How come my baby brother tried to blind me with a color pencil when he was 5? (ok fair enough... the hot milo I poured on him first was uncalled for but I seriously thought he would smell better *pout*)

Then there are the people that we LOVE to HATE. People we bitch about all day long but can't help but be curious about 'what new stupid thing they've done'. Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, Eminem Victoria Beckham and so forth.

Question :
'What do you call 1 million ManchesterUnited Fans neck deep in sand?'

Answer :

'Too little sand.'

Once in a very very blue moon. We're talking eclipse type of rarity blue moons by the way. You do have the good fortune to find someone that you LOVE. As in care for and actually feel an emotional connection to. Even RARER are the cases of reciprocation!

I could quote so many things :

'Hell hath no wrath like a woman spurned' - same thing applies to men btw.

'It is better to love and lost than to never love at all' - this dude was either stoned or never in love before.

'If you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with!' - fancy way of saying if you can't shag the one you have the hots for, anyone with fair resemblance will probably do.

Unrequited 'love' has the tendancy to lead towards hurt, distaste and eventually hate.

'Is there something wrong with me? How come he/she does not feel the same way.'

'Maybe he's into men. '

'If I can't have you, nobody can.' (please insert maniacal stalker like laughter here)

Love? Bah?
Want to love? Ha haH!
Cynical? Yah Hah!
Fallen in love? Would love to say Nah!

Its not that I'm completely cynical about love. I do feel 'love' towards my family. I do feel 'love' towards my friends. I do feel 'love' towards (*insert name*). But I'm wary. I'll end this with the simple line from Seasons in the Sun.

'Learned of Love and A B C's... Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees'

Like a new pair of shoes.... bite love before it bites your toe off (although spurned lovers are more fond of biting / chopping other bits off instead)

I love you guys :p
