Opposite Passions

By HalfDarkAngel

Today I woke up
Opening my eyes
For the first time
I see the truth

It was always there
Right before my eyes
I never saw
Why couldn’t I see it?

Good. Evil.
Light. Dark.
Yin. Yang.
God. Satan.

Each completing the other
Working as though one
So seamless
Why didn’t I see?

Each is the other
An altered form
Love. Hate.
Opposite passions

  • A former member wrote: actually the opposite of love is not hate... it's apathy. Hate is simply love scorned manifested in emotion. For in order to hate one must already love passionately. But you have the right idea here. I wish more would wake up and see.

    Apathy may be the opposite of love, but how can apathy be passionate? hate is passion, just as love, but they are opposite passions
