Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said..
Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illumines it.

"Love is the only thing that can save us"...Mr.G

Examine these quotes. Is there love without hate? Are there different kinds of love? Are there different kinds of hate?

  1. There is love without hate. Hate is only an unnecessary illusion of feeling. It’s not real. If you take away prejudice, revenge, anger, and jealousy… it’s almost impossible to hate. It’s always possible to love. I think love is so powerful that you can’t take away one aspect and weaken it that easily-if at all. There are a few different kinds of love I suppose: family love, romantic love, sympathetic love, admirable love, etc. I don’t know that all kinds of “love” are genuine or true; there are just multiple levels and versions I guess. I think there’s only one kind of hate though: ugly.

  2. There isn't love without hate or hate without love. Everybody hates something, and loves something. Think about it. Would a Yankees fan love the Yankees without hating the Red Sox? Or the other way around. There are different kinds of each. Love is a very powerful thing. When you say you love your family, you mean it with all your heart. When you say you love food, you don't mean it with as much of a passion. Same concept applies to hate.

  3. If you love someone, then I don't think you would have any hate for them... yes there could be times when you are mad at that person, but I don't think you could have hate toward them.
    Yes, I think there are different kinds of love, and I think people have different views on what love means to them. For me, I think love can be separated into four things. There's the love that you have for your parents, siblings and other family members, the love that you have for material things, the love you have for your friends, and then the romantic love. For me, from the most amount of love to the least amount, I think it would be- the love for your family, the love for your friends, the romantic love, and then the love for material things. That's what I think, but other people might think of love in a different way, and they might rank those types of love differently.
    I think of hate is a really really strong word, and my mom thinks that too. When I was little I would always say hate, so my mom would say- "Stop saying hate, that's a very strong word. Say something like 'I don't like that' or something, anything but hate." I've grown up with that, so I don't think I have ever truly hated something or someone. There are things and people that I might not like that much, but not hate. So I really wouldn't know if there were different levels or kinds of hate, but again... other people might think there are.

  5. No. There is not love without hate. How would you know what love feels like if you never felt hatred? It’s like the same thing with happy and sad. No one would ever be happy if they’ve never experienced sorrow. Everyone would just be impartial.
    There are different kinds of love. The love I have for my mother is different then the love I have for my boyfriend or my friends. Romantic love, to me, means that you’re constantly thinking about the other person. They’re the first thing you think about when you wake up and the last thing you think about when you fall asleep. They’re even in your dreams every single night. Also, you always want to spend every waking moment with them, even if you’re mad at them. It’s an absolutely amazing feeling.
    Mother-daughter love is different though. I’m not sure if it’s stronger than romantic love or not. I don’t think im old enough, or gone through enough, yet to know the answer to that. Anyway, the love I have for my mother is unlike the love I have for my boyfriend because my mother is, and always will, be there for me, no matter what. Im not saying Matt is never there for me, because he definitely is, I’m just saying who knows if he’ll still be with me ten years from now, but I do know that my mom will be. It’s also different because I don’t always want to be with her every second of the day. She would drive me fricken crazy if I was constantly with her but that doesn’t mean I don’t love her.
    And then there’s friendship love. It’s in the middle of family love and romantic love. The closest friend I have is, without doubt, Trent. I tell him everything that I don’t tell my mom and Matt. He’s the “go to” person for advice and I trust him with absolutely everything. I usually go to him for help and/or guidance before I go to Matt or my mom. He’s just an all around great person and there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for him. I think everyone needs a friend like Trent in their life.

  6. You can't hate person you love, yes you can be extremely mad at them and say you hate them, but you really don’t and the next day it’s back to normal. I think there are 2 different kinds of love and both are pretty hard to explain, one when you love a person like a best friend and another when you’re in love with a person like a wife or something. It’s hard for me to say if there’s more than one kind of hate though because I don’t think I’ve experienced any in my life, if I had to guess I’d only think one just on different levels, but I don’t know I could be wrong.

  7. There is always hate in love, its hard to hate the person you love or to love the person you hate, you can never always love someone there has to be times were they make you mad and you hate them but you still love them. there also diffrent kinds of love, i love all my friends and there parents and pets but the other kinda of love is love you dont need to say like your parents you love them but they know you love them its like mental love you just know your faimly loves you. your sister or borther will tell you they hate you because my sister tells me that somtimes but i dont take that seroius because i know she hates me for that day but she really loves me. theres also diffrent kinds of hate like one hate is liek i hate this ceral or that color but the other hate is diffrent by alot its like when you get so made that you cant stand somebody or someone anymore ot if you punch them in the face that really haterd

  8. you cant hate the person that you llove because if you really angry with him or her the next everything will come to normal and you will not hate her again. they are different kinds of love like yo like the person but you dont want to talk to her because you are mad at her or you dont want to tlak to her, another kind of love is that you dont like anybody, another kind of love is that one day you have a problen with her and the next day it comes to normal, and the last one is the one that you really love someone. kinds of hates are the you hate someone that said something to you but it wasnt true, the ones that are telling everybody something that you did but it aint true.

  9. I would think there would be love without hate. It is hard to imagine a life with no bullies, villans, or evil dictators bent on taking over the world/universe. But would we know anything about love without hate. How could you know what love is without another emotion like hate. It might just cancel out. There are certianly different kinds of love such as parental love, family love, girl/boy friend love, and many more that I haven't a clue about. But for hate there may be a few levels of hate such as severe hate, moderate hate, or the whole angry about something stupid and then make up the next day hate. But all together hate is just a large mass of dark evil. And if we ever want a world without hate we better get our act together fast and I mean fast.

  10. I think that there can't be love with out hate. Its as if there was fire but no ice.... How could the fire be put out? One has to exist for the other. You may be suffering from a family loss but a new baby may come into the family that next week. You may lose your house but the next month someone offers you a job. For on to exist the other must. Hate is a strong emotion that humans express when they are really angry. While love is an even stronger emotion where humans give out vibes of happiness. These are both emotions that we go through everyday. Just as fire can't go without ice. Love can't go without hate.

  13. I think there could be love without hate, but no matter what we always at some point in our lives hate something and we all love somthing. I think there could definately be hate without love but then again if we didn't know what love was we could call hate love. Does that make sense? Probably not but... well maybe it does. Anyway I agree with Al when he says there is one hate on different levels. That is totally true to me, and what I believe. There are different kinds of love as well, but since I haven't experienced all kinds of love yet I don't know if I can really explain them. -Taylor
