Not to get off subject(but am anyway), so can love or hate. As Dr. Joyce Brothers has explained, the emotions of love and hate are just that- deeply-felt emotions-whether toward animate or inanimate objects. As the opposite of feeling would be UNfeeling, so the opposite of love/hate must be indifference-the absence of any emotion. I LOVE chocolate and my kids(not the same way) HATE cheesecake and phonies(almost the same way) and couldn't care less about who J-Lo fucks.
