Love is stronger, but hate is more palatable for some bizarre reason. I typically identify with hate more, just because I don't have either of those two emotions too much, but hatred seems to approximate my normal attitude towards people more than love...in that love is kind of creepy...

I remember thinking about this a lot as a child - and it always seemed like hate was stronger. When I was a kid I thought of these two phrases and hate seems to have the upper hand in both of them.
I love to hate.
I hate to love.
And sometimes watching the news, it does seem that hate is very strong in the world. I do hope that love really is the stronger of the two and that we all try to strive for love and not let hate rule us.

You can hate the person you loved with just as passion.
I would say, hate is an emotion, I wouldn't waste my time on, we only have such a short life. I mean, we spend 7-8 sleeping, 1-3 eating, 1 hour for washroom? 8 hr at work. That only leave you about 3-4 hr.to spend as you like. loved ones, doing the groccery, leaning your closet etc.
I don't think you want to spent 2 hr of which, going to a therapist! Just because you HATE SOMEONE! Love does create love.

They say Love is stronger. This is probably true, but I identify more with hate.

Love is the most powerful force in the universe. Hate is a transient affair; granted hate can do you in and be overwhelming, but love brings you to life - which is what every soul actually craves. This is a love that is far greater than some of the ideas people have of love; it is not mundane, it is not mere emotion, it is not weak, for if it is weak it is not true love, but true unconditional love is living, dynamic and growing, everlasting, it is without fear, without malice, and without oppression, without prejudice, it is without intolerance, it is the foundations of strength, courage, faith, goodness, beauty, real character, fortitude and valor. Love is far more desired and catching than hate. With love as the foundation of your life, you become a focus of dynamic affection that attracts all good, true and beautiful things.
1. The Father's love follows us now and throughout the endless circle of the eternal ages. As you ponder the loving nature of God, there is only one reasonable and natural personality reaction thereto: You will increasingly love your Maker; you will yield to God an affection analogous to that given by a child to an earthly parent; for, as a father, a real father, a true father, loves his children, so the Universal Father loves and forever seeks the welfare of his created sons and daughters.
...
When man loses sight of the love of a personal God, the kingdom of God becomes merely the kingdom of good. Notwithstanding the infinite unity of the divine nature, love is the dominant characteristic of all God's personal dealings with his creatures.
2. You cannot truly love your fellows by a mere act of the will. Love is only born of thoroughgoing understanding of your neighbor's motives and sentiments. It is not so important to love all men today as it is that each day you learn to love one more human being. If each day or each week you achieve an understanding of one more of your fellows, and if this is the limit of your ability, then you are certainly socializing and truly spiritualizing your personality. Love is infectious, and when human devotion is intelligent and wise, love is more catching than hate. But only genuine and unselfish love is truly contagious. If each mortal could only become a focus of dynamic affection, this benign virus of love would soon pervade the sentimental emotion-stream of humanity to such an extent that all civilization would be encompassed by love, and that would be the realization of the brotherhood of man.

i personally believe hate is stronger not because im a hateful person but because we live in a hateful world more ppl show hate than they do love and while love can make you do crazy things hate can make you do ridiculous things but i guess it all goes back back on is the glass half empty or half full it's all based n your personal opinion. i identify more with love just because im really sensitive and emotional

It is the two horns from the same goat. Either or both will do you in - that's how deadly powerful they are.

Clearly, love is stronger. Hate, however, is more prevelant in a sinful society.

Good question. I recognized the answer I had always thought when I saw it in the Song of Songs. Love is stronger than death. -- But this might not be your cup of tea.
