is it hard to hate or harder to love?

it's extremely easy to do both, to hate and to love. the hard part comes when you have to love after you hated a person and hate him after you loved him

People are self loving, that being said it is easier to dislike anything or anyone that is different than (self) and even hate them.  Hate starts with name calling which is used to separate you from me.  Once separated, I can abuse you or say bad things about you because your different.  Wish it were not so, 6 billion of us on the big ball and we differ in so many ways.

No, no two people are the same. So, definitely, no individual will be able to love with the same intensity. Loving is giving more that taking, so we can never equate one's love. Loving is relative to how an individual perceive love how much love she's got and and how much love he/she can offer............

There is an old saying... "There is a thin line between love and hate".... We know the people we love so well, there faults and all, which makes us feel that we hate them at times... well we don't hate them, we hate what they do and the way they act etc......

I'm going to assume that you meant to ask 'threat' rather than 'thread': Man's inhumanity to his/her 'fellow' man.  The opposite of love is not hate; it is indifference.  There is no greater harm we can do to each other as a society that to be uncaring.  Deep at the core of our current 'problems' is our mistrust and unloving treatment of the 'others' that we perceive to be 'our' problem.

There is a fine line between love and hate and only someone who has felt both emotions could ever begin to understand. You can love someone so much that you hate them and hate them so much you love them...Both emotions are raw and passionate, hence the connection.

No sometimes I find it the hardest.  When we love someone we like to give the benefit of the doubt (at least I do) So I have hidden from the truth when I should be facing it.  Wait so maybe then it is easy? Oh I don't know \nI have learned that you should follow your gut instinct no matter what!

love is a choice... with that choice comes respect and honesty...  if you are already fighting there's no love.  It's easy to say the word love.  but not easy to practice it. love is measured in it's practice not in the ability to say the word.  move on.  he's more trouble than he's worth.

It's a bit of both. \n\nHaving love is painful, lest you fear to lose it, yet at the same time, being in love is wonderful and can make you happy.\n\nYou must strike a good balance.

I hate less all the time.  It gets easier and easier to become forgiving as time goes on if you get on that track.  I don't think I was ever particularly hateful but now the only thing I seem to hate is hate itself, and when people chew with their mouth wide open or panic.

Without hate, how would we know love is love?

I'd say it might be easier.  You have that unknown connection and would probably be quite similar in your likes and dislikes.  That's really tricky.  But yeah, I'd say very easy!

(Love + Hate) = (Fear + Confusion)\n\nIf you mean that you feel love and you also experience feelings of hatred, i think this probably equals normality (in most people at some times in their lives)\n\ni was never good at coming up with equations, mind: but i don't think you can truly love a person and at the same time hate them --- maybe hate something they did? till you understand why? then the hate will disappear.\n\nSame goes for anything you love. A trite example might be a hobby you used to love but have come to hate -- once you realise why and what has caused the change, you will understand it and be able to act on it; then the hate will go.\nA more serious thing like self-hatred, well -- same goes, so long as you are able to figure out what in your own behaviour has engendered these feelings - act on them, be compassionate towards yourself, alter the undesirable behaviour and forgive yourself.\n\nHate is mostly generated by fear of the unknown, in my observations - understanding and compassion will always conquer it: even if the actions can be explained only by a mental instability that you can't actually fathom and probably wouldn't want to. (Here, i refer to other people, in general, although mental instability can strike 1/4th of the population at some time in their life, even if it is "only" mild depression and i want to make clear that i have no prejudice towards anyone in that situation, i would only recommend that, in such a case, they seek help)\n\nI doubt that applies to you cos the question seems to be thoughtful rather than specific.\n\nI will watch the other answers with interest.\n\n\n............just saw your additional details -- hmm, you are giving love and receiving hate? That equals a tremendous amount of effort and compassion on your side: even then, if the other party involved is not able to look inside themself and stop the hate, well...  it is a journey to a wasteland.

Hate - He is emotionally unavailable and doesn't like sharing his feelings.  Plus he can be unthoughtful.\n\nLove - He is never fake, usually really honest and genuine

Usually he is easy to cope with, but at certain times it gets hard for me to stand him.\n\n\nrephrase: He's usually no problem but sometimes, I just can't stand him.

I think this is the second time I'm answering your question, and I must say that I do love answering them. So, yes I do think and love at the same time.\n\nOn a more serious note: Avocados\n\nI think it's easier for people to hate.  When you love something or feel and act with your heart you open yourself up and you make yourself venerable. There are no wall to the world you let someone in, and they can be kind or cruel. Even as we go about our day to day interactions, we can take someone for granted and say mean things. It's much easier to say somehting mean to someone than it is to say something nice. Generally it's the people who are insecure or have problems that are mean to other people, and we've all been insecure and have had problems.
