OK first I will disprove the existance of Cold like most scientist will tell you has already been done as much as anything can be proven that is. Cold is a concept of the lack of heat but if you get technical about it Cold or negitive heat can not exist for obv reasons. You cant have negitive of something that exists as far as I know. Any how IF love exists and I choice to believe it does as do many people then everything can be said to be a part of the love that exists. Thus hate being the absance of love does infact not exist it is just a word we use wrongly most of the time. When you say you hate someone you are not saying you dont love them your just saying you hate them less then something else. Thus I believe first there was Love and then more Love was added but it was not understood untill the concept for hate came into being. So while we may always have the concept of hate it doesnt mean love will ever stop existing. Just my beliefs but I think this is proven fact.

I believe hate to be the opposite of love infact. While not doing anything about someones pain may be close to the opposite of hate. I think hate being distain for someone to be the negitive of love. I dont really believe in not taking action myself but thats just me cause even inaction is an action itself.

Maybe that part of us that hangs onto hate is what keeps us alive also. So I love the fact that you hate me in a way thanks.

But can you exist and still turn away from Love compleatly. I would say no because if you exist you admit that something is real. If something is real then go back to my origional argument. I dont wana get into God in this debate but I guess for alot of people its gona seem like I did. Love is Love God is Love works if Love is God also. I worship the ground Love walks on so I guess I find Love to be my God. THere I went all religion on your butts.

No one has yet brought up the fact that there is a creator and he is God. "God is love" The creator is the essential love.
God made beings - angels. At some point one third of those angels revolted and were led by Lucifer who wanted to be worshipped as God is worshipped. God, being a jealous god (in the purest sense), banished Lucifer and he 'fell' to another realm, earth/world/here, along with his 1/3 followers.
This Lucifer, now called Satan, is the father of lies, (the first lie is 'I, Lucifer, am as good a God and deserve to be worshipped by one and all') and embodies (if a spirit can embody anything) HATE.
The opposite of God's love (and therefore all love) is the devil's HATE. It is a real expression of evil, hate is.

You would have to erase centuries of history in order to disprove hate. Since you obviously can't do that, then the answer to your initial question would be an emphatic NO!
You can believe what you want. That's your "choice". The facts, however, will remain long after your beliefs evaporate into the wind.

Great post/question. The analogy most often used when describing hate/evil versus love is like that of darkness and light. As we know, light "exists" in that it is made up of actually subatomic particles called photons. Darkness, on the otherhand, is not produced by the addition of any other particles, but rather the absence of light. Likewise, it is argued, with love versus hate. Love is real, it is a true force, so to speak, whereas hate (or evil) is only the absence of the real, a lack of love.
According to many spiritual traditions, the ultimately nature of reality is love. We hear, for example, that God is love, or that All is One (and what is love if not a recognition of oneness?). If they are correct, this would give further strength of validation to the idea that love is real, while hate is but the absence of love. For, if the ultimate nature of reality is love, then love is ultimately real, and this is all we require then to say that hate is but an absence of it. On the otherhand, I think a materialist could argue that love and hate exist equally, insofar as that they both (according to the materialist) are produced from chemicals in the brain and have no additional existence apart from that. The materialist might (though not necessarily) argue that hate is not the absence of love because hate requires an actual "movement in the brain", so to speak, just as love does, and the absence of the chemicals involved in the feeling of love are not sufficient for the production of hate (which requires different chemicals of its own).
So what has to happen, I think, is that we first have to show/argue that love is an actual reality, and then from there argue that hate can have no real subsistance apart from the absense of love.
I think this is exactly what the great spiritual and mystical traditions do. For example, the Eastern traditions, particularly Hinduism and Buddhism, claim reality is ultimately One, as I mentioned before. The reason, they argue, that hate is less real than love is because hate is the feeling produced by division, by feeling that something is unlike yourself or the desire to be removed from that something. But if everything is ultimately One, then hatred is a feeling born out of ignorance rather than truth. Love, on the otherhand, is a feeling born out of the subtle recognition of how things really are. A feeling born out of truth is a feeling that is more real, for what is truth if not what is real? Christianity argues that God is love. Not that God loves, but God IS love, and that everything God does is from love. Thus to love is automatically to participate in God, whereas to hate is to turn away from God. Since God is ultimately that which is most real, and from which all reality derives (according to this view), to turn away from God is to turn away from reality and thus to find yourself surrounded by darkness, or the absence of love.
Anyway, thanks for the question. :)

"But can you exist and still turn away from Love compleatly. I would say no because if you exist you admit that something is real. If something is real then go back to my origional argument.

But love is a feeling -- isn't it? And so is hate. So if both are feelings, what makes one more real than the other? They are both equally capable of being felt, no? How can one feeling be more real than another subjectively? If your argument is going to stand, then we must seek the a source for love and hate that goes beyond simply the subjective, and I doubt physics or chemistry is going to provide that answer as I argued above. Thus, we must seek a metaphysical kind of answer, and that is where God comes into the picture. Whether we call it God, or just Reality, or the Ultimate, the point is that if love is more real than hate, that reality must lie in something that is so grand that it links the subjective and the objective, and I think the only place we find that is in "God".

I think you are getting somewhere with your knowledge, you should read from this author, he has written stuff in Spanish but has had it translated in English, his name is Miguel Ruiz--- he has a good book that talks about love... I think it's called the Mastery of Love. Well, good luck on your enlightenment :) May peace be with you & Happy Holidays.

God is God, All things are God. especially Unconditional love. in meditation trandscend the mind, and you will find that Love, Humility, and God are the same. If you with the concepts of duality divide unconditional love,into mind and emotions then emotions into conditional love/hate with all its many parts, you can become totally lost in it. Fear turns to anger, anger turns to hate, hate leads to insanity, then one insane with hate will try to destroy that which they fear. If we accknowledge all these many parts as the one Love, unconditional love, it transforms the parts into Unconditional love. "God dwells within you as you" or if you prefer, "Love dwells within you as you".

Hate is not opposite of love.
Both are desires.
Love:
You want someone to be with you.
Hate:
You want someone not to be with you.
So if you accept the existence of Love, you have to accept the existence of desire and you have to accept the existence of hate too.

hate is real,but humans are not capable of it.[humans aren't capable of full love ether]
hate is a dislike of something with every last eb of will.love is every good emotion directed at something with every last eb of will.humans cant give that 100 percent,so they can only partially hate or love things.only GOD can love and hate.GOD loves us and every one of his creations.GOD hates sin and all evil.
peace be with you

I think it would be easier to disprove love. Hate is all around. Most love doesn't last.
