Love And Love: The Definition Of Love

This quote shows how people can be trying to talk in peace, but they have another thing showing hate. Socrates, a greek philosopher, said “From the deepest desires, come the deadliest hate”, this means that when you desire something so much, you start hating the things around you. Many people will get hung up over something or someone they hate and will deny anyone or anything that tries to help them, and they don’t pay attention to the world around them.

In William Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” hate is shown to be stronger than love because...

In the stories he tells, the word hate appears quite frequently. It is sometimes used about his father. “I saw nothing very clearly but I did see this: that my life, my real life, was in danger, and not from anything other people might do but from the hatred I carried in my own heart.” (72) This hatred he talks about exists towards his father. Other factors contribute too, but are not as often told.

Love is a powerful emotion that everyone wants. The fact is that love will overcome anything as long as you have the right motives. Whereas, the word hate has a very deep and harsh meaning, it means to have an intense or passionate dislike towards someone or something. George Orwell’s book, 1984, shows us a prime example of a society based on hate. Moreover, a society based on hate will not survive, the government will manipulate the people to destroy themselves.

In this world hate means many different things. For some people hate may mean the emotion they feel against their country for all the deaths and disparities that the war torn country has caused them. For others the word could mean that the teen is going through a phase and may “hate” their parents for not getting them the a in style piece of clothing or a resplendent new phone. But in the 1300’s there was a whole different rationale of the word “hate”.

If one hates someone or something that means they have an intense dislike towards them. Sometimes this hate can be so large it can be an influence for mass destruction. We have learned, or even have seen examples of hate turning into something bigger throughout our history. These examples include the multiple wars, terrorist’s attacks, and genocides. Many of these incidents were drove by hate, and did not end well. What drives this hate? How can people turn on one another with just feeling hate towards them? The Holocaust being one of the many genocides in our history was indeed influenced by an intense dislike. That intense dislike was towards certain types of people it ended up taking multiple lives.

There is a major difference in the definitions of love and hate. Some say that one can only have a single feeling for a person, and that it will never change. In order to love someone, one will have to be able to deal with things that one hates about them. Nobody is perfect, therefore there is not only one feeling for a person. In John Grisham’s Bleachers, there is a lot of controversy on Coach Eddie Rake. Rake was the head coach of the Messina Spartan Football Team and was highly valued to the people of the town. Some hated him for his harshness in practice, but later in life realized that “He was a great coach who built a great program and a great tradition and gave us all something great, something we will always cherish” (Grisham

Hate is one very important idea examined in Romeo and Juliet and is explored by Juliet when she states ‘Here's much to do with hate, but more with love’ (1.1.166). William Shakespeare conveys the consequences of hate in his play through the ancient feud between the Capulet’s and the Montague’s, the irrational decisions made and the deaths that resulted. It is the ancient feud between the two families that lead to the irrational decisions made by Romeo and Juliet as well as their demise. It is questionable as to whether Romeo and Juliet’s lives would be spared if their families were not feuding.

Why is hate critical to understand? Why is it crucial that societies teach their youth the evil of hate crimes? Teaching how hate grows is a good learning experience for children. With this information, they’ll grow up and will be able to react to hate crimes more justly. Essentially, hate crimes can be categorized into sections. There are different degrees, thus the Pyramid of Hate, as constructed by the Anti-Defamation League, shows in a simplified manner,

“It is the law of love that rules mankind. Had violence, hate ruled us we should have become extinct long ago. And yet the tragedy of it is that so-called civilized man and nations conduct themselves as if the basis of society was violence,”(Gandhi). In this quote Gandhi says the main reasons of love and hate are mankind. As well that both control and destroy a human. However, in the end the human chooses the one they will follow. In the outstanding novel Kindred by Octavia Butler. The protagonist, Dana, faces many love and hate situations as she travels back and forth in time. Accordingly, she begins to question whom is to blame for the love and hate crimes. Love and hate are influenced by mankind, both can be controlled and the pair are conscious decisions.

Hatred is an efficacious word that is often shown through violence. When people do not know how to express their thought, they use their body language to show their loathsome feelings.

Why do people that hate each other so much work better together than people who love each other? People who love each other never get the job done it seems, but people that hate each other get the job done fast and efficiently, have you ever wondered why? You may say maybe they get it done so fast just to get it over with so they don’t have to work side by side anymore, but maybe it might be because they take their work seriously and rather work together side by side rather than do it alone and fail. In George Orwell’s Novel 1984 the society they live in is based on hate yet it survives because they hate their ruler so much they end up confusing it with love and they become loyal under Big Brother's watchful eyes, fighting to please him and continue with his bidding. If any one person in the society is to express their hate for him they are sent to a place like a prison or more like a reform center to learn to disguise their hatred again by basically confusing the people into thinking they love him they manipulate their minds and they create a loyal subject once again, this is why I believe a society based on hate can survive because can easily be confused for love and hate can make a loyal person besides their negative feelings for the society.

Hatred is an extremely strong idea, it is the basis of all terrorism, war, and abuse. Hatred is obviously harmful in many ways; although, there are a multitude of things that can contradict the ideas and the acts of hatred. These dangerous ideas that are embedded in so many people's minds is why Amber Wielinski now tries to surround herself with love and things that are more powerful than hatred. Her traumatic experience with emotional abuse and depression revealed to her the importance of sharing love not hate.

“Love always overcomes hate, but love’s effects and hate’s effects are no different in magnitude.” -Anonymous. No one ever doubts the power of love or the power of hate. For as long as time has existed people have loved and people have hated. Strong emotions persuade everyone to act on their inhibition. Everyone wants to be a hero in every situation whether it be trying to save someone or the simple act of finding a winning lottery ticket. These actions are what lead to love overcoming hate even if they are the simplest of acts. The mistake people make is them trying to hard to be the hero. This leads to one traveling great lengths to achieve their goals, but at what cost. Throughout Shakespeare’s most famous play, Romeo and Juliet, his main

Love and hate are both very powerful emotions. The abundance one can feel inside when feeling them can be overwhelming at times. I think everyone can relate to the feeling when you love someone so much you would do anything and everything for them. We can also understand that feeling when you can’t even stand the thought of someone being in the same room of you. When we look at what emotion is more powerful, I think hate is stronger than love. The reason being is that love can quickly turn to hate, but hate doesn’t change to love very fast, if at all. I think Othello is a great example of this. His love for his wife, turned to hate so fast because he thought she was cheating on him. He murdered his wife in pure cold blood which shows how hate can be such a powerful emotion that it can actually cause someone to want to commit murder. The feeling of love and hate can change someone, and they both can be very powerful. However, I think that hate is an emotion unlike no other in which the feeling is very stable, in the since that it is very hard to change someone’s mind about you when they hate you.
