What is the fine line between love and hate?

The fine line is when you reached your limit of being disrespected and abused.

That is an interesting question.\nI think that it is directly related to love, but not a form of love.\nI think about it this way: Hating someone takes so much time and energy that I cannot imagine putting that much effort toward someone I didn't care deeply for or even love. The average person who bugs me just isn't worth that much effort from me. \nI think that hate is the only emotion stronger than love, but that you can only truly and passionately hate someone that you love. (Romantically or Familially)\nLoathing someone is different. To loathe someone you don't have to love them, it's a bit more mild than actual hatred.

Love and hate are inseparable. You can't have one without the other.

Indifference is worse than hate.  When you hate someone, there is still a surge of emotions but it's just swinging towards the other end of the spectrum (the other end being love).  When you're indifferent, you psychologically kill the person because you couldn't care less what that person does to you.  This is why being given the cold shoulder hurts so much because the other person doesn't acknowledge your presence.

Thumb's up & the answer is love.\n\nIt's is much more profound because hate is so very easy an emotion to use & abuse.  It's often the hardest thing to choose love but when a person does that, it has the most profound effects because it is a choice made of free will & not always an emotional response.

its quite simple, as long there is humans. They will be wars. The world must balance itself in hate and love. If we do not have hate, we do not have love. If we do not have love, we do not have hate. The world and mankind must balance itself. If one side of the balances is tipped too much, it will be chaos.

Definitely forgotten. Someone once told me that the oposite of love is not hate, it is apathy. At least with hate, you still have some emotional connection, even if it is only his/her very strong desire to see a house fall upon you. With apathy, you wouldn't even get an "Oh really, a house fell on him/her? Too bad, big mess."

I cannot hate people, but I do hate some of things people do..especially to each other.  It is so much easier to love.  Hate burns a lot of energy.

Lust is selfish and love is selfless. If you can't tell the difference, then it's lust. You'll know when you are being loved.\n\nQuote:\nLove is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. Love does not demand its own way. Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged. It is never glad about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.

indifference... its the total lack of feeling... love is the apex of positive feelings... hate is closer to love than most think...

They have this weird love/hate thing going on... I think they're both attracted to the other one when they're angry.

Love is one of the most powerful forces in the universe. It is always worth it.       Hate usually  stands alone.. Love is never alone.

It means total honesty, trust, compassion, willing to compromise, have similar interests and goals yet have your own identity. It means being best friends and be willing to stick it out the the most awful times which you will run into.  There is a fine line between love and hate and at times you may feel you hate your mate but it usually comes from them doing something to either hurt you or frustrate you. Marriage is hard. You have to work at it every day. It's almost like a flower. If you don't nourish it every day it will just wither and go away.

One cannot exist without the other; they are interdependant. The balance between hate and love is friendship.  Someone can love you and not be a very good friend.  Someone can love you, but turn around and betray you.  The ultimate relationship is one that has true friendship, as friendship is a bond, while love and hate are simply emotions. \nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yin_Yang

(Love + Hate) = (Fear + Confusion)\n\nIf you mean that you feel love and you also experience feelings of hatred, i think this probably equals normality (in most people at some times in their lives)\n\ni was never good at coming up with equations, mind: but i don't think you can truly love a person and at the same time hate them --- maybe hate something they did? till you understand why? then the hate will disappear.\n\nSame goes for anything you love. A trite example might be a hobby you used to love but have come to hate -- once you realise why and what has caused the change, you will understand it and be able to act on it; then the hate will go.\nA more serious thing like self-hatred, well -- same goes, so long as you are able to figure out what in your own behaviour has engendered these feelings - act on them, be compassionate towards yourself, alter the undesirable behaviour and forgive yourself.\n\nHate is mostly generated by fear of the unknown, in my observations - understanding and compassion will always conquer it: even if the actions can be explained only by a mental instability that you can't actually fathom and probably wouldn't want to. (Here, i refer to other people, in general, although mental instability can strike 1/4th of the population at some time in their life, even if it is "only" mild depression and i want to make clear that i have no prejudice towards anyone in that situation, i would only recommend that, in such a case, they seek help)\n\nI doubt that applies to you cos the question seems to be thoughtful rather than specific.\n\nI will watch the other answers with interest.\n\n\n............just saw your additional details -- hmm, you are giving love and receiving hate? That equals a tremendous amount of effort and compassion on your side: even then, if the other party involved is not able to look inside themself and stop the hate, well...  it is a journey to a wasteland.

People are scared of things they don't understand, and "Hate" is the result.\n\nIf you or something you like is being hated, it is never the fault of the person or thing being hated... it is the fault of the person who is DOING the hating. THEY are uncomfortable.\n\nYou can apply this to anything in your life... music, people, lifestyles etc.

Its really the simplest thing and hence the deepest of all. There are these two emotions that extreme and uncontrolable - LOVE and HATE(war). Look at them as the two extremes and between them lies the grey area tht has boundries and limits and rules. BUT for the two extreme emotions the only limit is the zeal with which you want the outcome of your pursuit - be it the love of someone more special than a bright blue sky or the sweet revenge on the hated enemy at war. AND ethics only matters as long as you are true to yourself and your aspirations... go on tiger conquer the world - its yours, if you want it bad enough
