Indifference.
2006-12-20 16:05:26 · answer #1 · answered by Roman Soldier 5 · 4⤊ 2⤋
All things being equal, there is different kinds of love, so to evaluate it properly I would have to say "indifference", is the opposite of love. To hate is completely different emotion and is not natural. Love is natural, and so is indifference, like when you are a baby and you dont like the taste of something you will frown, but you wont muster up a temper tantrum spewing out venum over it. But you would simply spit it out as you are indifferent to it. But if you love the taste you gobble it down.

Actually, the opposite of love, is the same as the opposite of hate, and that is apathy. Complete and non caring about an event, an object, an idea, a person. To either love or hate implies that one has an opinion about the subject, that it somehow has an impact, eitehr for good or ill on the life, or at least on the thoughts of a person or group of persons. To be apathetic, however, is to have no concern for the subject. To have no reaction to it one way or the other. Complete separation and disinterest, emotional vaccuousness if you will.

To truly love something or someone implies that without it or them (death, non-reciprocation, etc.), the lover would feel some sort of emotional instability. Thus, the lover has become emotionally dependent on this object or person, because it helps them to feel some sense of emotional stability. So it is "loved" that is the opposite of "love."

It depends on what you mean by love. It could be selfishness.
But if you were Whitney Houston singing the Greates Love of All, then I guess it would be selflessness.

Love is the product of the lover and the loved one,everything else otherwise does not matter.Nothing can exist beet ween,the lover and the loved one. Now true love is when you being a lover,put beloved on a pedestal ; when the beloved falls, you are there to catch the beloved or perish with the beloved.
Ditching truly represent the opposite of love.Just say DITCH.

Jealousy!....well maybe, but some people are so jealous that they murder! That seems like the most opposite thing from love to me...

I agree with the idea of apathy. Ideologically love and hate are on the same category. Both have the emotional feeling. Apathy opposes love and hate.
