The opposite of love is indifference.
Hate brings energy that can,
in turn, bring changes that
generate genuine love.
That is, if the fire of hatred
does not completely immolate
the object of its wrath.
Indifference stifles all in its path,
not with fire,
but with mold,
black or green,
and rapacious.
Absolutely beautiful, Gary. So few people realize that indifference is truly the opposite of love. Hate is very similar… It’s no wonder that love can so easily flip into hatred. Deep thoughts. Have a wonderful Wednesday. Hugs.

Perhaps, because hate so quickly brings violence in its wake, whereas indifference leads to the quieter ravages of depression and despair, it is human to flee from the first, whilst acquiescing to the second.

Just like love can change to poison.

There is that, but then, is it really love in the first place?

It could be! Cause when love turns to obsession, it can also change to poison.

Apathy is the one thing I can’t abide… Even the Bible states “I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth.” (Revelation 3:15-16).
