    The true opposite of love is sadness, the feeling that arises in the absence of all that love delivers.

    ROMOS - great answer - there are however - just saying - many forms of love some not even recognisable by others.

                   Proud People are:



    • Self-righteous; critical, fault-finding spirit

    • Independent; self-sufficient

    • Have to prove that they’re right

    • Claim rights; have a demanding spirit

    • Protective of reputation

    • Desire to be served

    • Desire to be a success

    • Focus on the failure of others

    • Have a drive to be recognized (wounded when others are promoted and they are overlooked)

    • Self-conscious

    • Keep others at arm’s length

    • Quick to blame others

    • Defensive when criticized

    • Hard time saying, “I was wrong, will you please forgive me?”

    • Wait for others to come to them to ask forgiveness

    • Think they have nothing to repent of


          


              Humble People are:



    • Compassionate; thinks the best of others

    • Dependent; recognize their need for others

    • Willing to yield the right to be right

    • Have a meek spirit

    • Self-denying

    • Motivated to serve others

    • Motivated to make others a success

    • Overwhelmed with a sense of their OWN spiritual need

    • Sense of own unworthiness (rejoice when others are lifted up)

    • Not concerned with self at all

    • Will risk getting close and loving intimately

    • Accept personal responsibility

    • Receive criticism with a humble, open spirit

    • Quick to admit their failure and seek forgiveness when necessary.

    • Take the initiative to be reconciled no matter how wrong the other person might have been

    • Realize a need for a continual heart attitude of repentance

    Approx 99% of aka members fit in the second category including yourself Dennis. (*~*)
    Poppy3

    country bumpkin - as hector5559 says How many people do fit into this category? Wonderfully idealistic - but difficult with human frailty, history and knowledge. So kind of you to think aka members fit into the second category and they most certainly make an excellent try at it and do a very good job.

    There is no opposite to Love. Unknowing, unloving, unloved, formless, lifeless, faceless, empty, barren, unspeakable, nonexistent , vacuous, neither mass nor shadow, less than nothing, beyond all reality.  

    hector5559

    who on earth could be like that??

    Love is a powerful emotion.  The lack of emotion would be the opposite.  In my experience, the opposite of "love" is INDIFFERENCE.

    Bob/PKB - and so true - the indifference I am sounded by is amazing - uncaring, apathetic, lacking respect etc. The indifference though being towards others - certainly not themselves so prevalent - it seems to be maybe this comes with age - these days. Just as you say who cares anymore.
    Bob/PKB

    When one is the "victim" of indifference, it is very frustrating. The emotions of frustration can be destructive. Very effective counter-emo.
    Poppy3

    Bob/PKB - this can so engender so much emotional distress and do find this extremely frustating and how I know how destructive it has been for me these last years. Just find it difficult to understand as during my working years this indifference happened too but I found there to be a good counter balance. Where I live if you care too much the indifference in this house decrease makes you feel like if you care - you are crazy? if you understand me.
    Poppy3

    Bob/PKB - Also I find the person it is directed at can feel what am I doing wrongly whereas the person projecting the indifference is maybe unaware of it lacking sensitivity - I sometimes think this but sometimes I think they know this but it surely does not bother them.
    Bob/PKB

    Poppy3 - are you saying that you are projecting indifference towards someone you do NOT feel indifferent to, but are trying to throw him/her off the track, and that the person is being indifferent towards you? If that is what you're saying, there could be two things going on around here: (1) revere psychology (2) the person actually IS indifferent. Let me know?

    hate.

    tabber - some love and some hate have to be learned. Sorry I am so diffficult!
    tabber

    Poppy3 you're not difficult. it's communication. & sometimes communications don't say precisely what want to say. it's fine. but poppy i do agree with you regarding 'some love and some hate' are learned. i feel people learn to love and hate based on their early environment experiences particularly experiences with their loving or hateful care givers.
    Poppy3

    tabber - this was bothering me - as I do not mean simple learning - if you do not have the innate teaching - you are left wanting. Not as simple as learning how to care for instance - it is there or it is not. Hope I have made myself clearer as I have always thought when I see uncaring that why this cannot be taught. You got precisely what I meant from your answer I CAN see this. This is in a way what I was eluding to with my remark to ROMOS.

    I have to assume you are very young to not know this. Hate is the opposite. 

    Love and hate are horns on the same goat.
