LOVE LOVE LOVE KABOOOM

Love has generated quite a bit of talk about itself...it should be proud. It would seem that the idea of a clockwork orange refutes my argument, however the point I was trying to make has been articulated magnificently by Karen: social conditioning. Reading that post, I saw what I had been trying to say written much clearer. Now then, I think this: There are two parts to human nature, the 'angels' and the 'demons', my question is, which one of these two does love bring out more? Think carefully about this. I think that this is really and unfair question because it is incalculable. I have to wonder though...has love done anything for this world? Sure it has...It's brought people together and made them join into one so that they could accomplish great things. But I must say, love is the weaker emotion when compared with the other: hate. Human nature is beautiful, it has so many twists and turns. Love and Hate are inextricably entwined. Love is strong yes, but one day of cold hard hate can equal a week of magical love in its intensity. Hate is far more a part of us than love is. Hate breathes life into us in a way that love cant. Hatred drives far more people than love does. Having a hate object will unite people around you, having a love object doesnt have the same effect. Hatred unites us far better than love does. The effects of hatred are also far more stunning than love. Is Hatred better than love? In some cases yes. What is it about so called 'negative emotons' that qualifies them as negative? How is hate negative? It gives you a purpose and it gives you a drive and an animalistic desire that you seldom achieve. AHHH but it also leads you to do things which may be less than agreeable socially. But there is really nothing wrong with hatred. Delving into hatred leads us into the other so called extremes of human emotion: fickleness, selfishness, obsession, perverse lust, agressiveness, and some other things which could lead you to commit homicide. Emotion is a fine realm, and it often changes, like a realm of chaos. These things are far stronger the other, weaker kinds of emotions. Where does love sit in this spectrum? I'd say if the emotions mentioned above were at the far right, love would be in the middle. Love however, doesnt have the momentum that hate does and if both love and hate were measured in terms of their accomplishments in this world, hate would put love to shame. and P.S. to Grant, no I've never been drunk, but I do have an alchoholic uncle, who knows, maybe his genes will work their way into me in due time.
