Love is a passion, and "can only be" countered by a passion from the opposite end of the spectrum, that is hate. Apathy is the absence of love or hate; Apathy really is the opposite of both love and hate; The lack of any sort of emotion or investment in a person or thing is the polar opposite of love and hate. Apathy can also be a necessary defense mechanism used to escape from life; when we resort to an apathetic state we consciously deny ourselves the ability to feel. furthermore, if we maintain this apathetic stance in the face of the currents of life we become a rock- strong and steady but inanimate and lifeless. The capacity to not feel animosity towards someone - the capacity to not feel a burning passion for someone... is truly the opposite of love, is truly the opposite of hate.
Though, sometimes hate comes out of the individual to mask the love that burns deep within their heart. The shift to the opposite end of the spectrum only denotes the deep love that one really has for someone. Thus, hate, could be only a different form of love. It seems the answer is in each one of our hearts. But maybe one can argue pure evil is the opposite of love?
