LOVE and HATE

Love and hate are two interconnected emotions. Love and hate are the two most important feelings anyone could ever feel in their entire lives but not only are they the most important but they are also the most strongest. Many people would say these two emotions are completely the opposite of one another but others might say that they are almost exactly alike. According to Conner, S. from the independent, Scientists studying the physical nature of hate have found that some of the nervous circuits in the brain responsible for it are the same as those that are used during the feeling of romantic love-although love and hate appear polar opposites (Conner, S. 2008). Many people believe that love and hate are similar and are the same because they come from the same places inside your brain, so in a way they are similar. There is a thin line between love and hate.

Love wants the best for people; hate wants terrible things for them. Love is to show affection from the heart and hate is to show despise and cold-hardheartedness. To love is to give someone something special and not expect anything in return, to hate is to not give anything at all and expect everything in return. Love can make you produce a life; hate can make you take a life away. Love is what you feel when you find your one and only, hate is what you feel when someone takes them away. Hate is the absence of love. We love to hate and we hate to love.

According to Scientists love and hate share identical structures. They both are related to the putamen and insula in your brain which are linked to aggression and distress. These two emotions can be an all-consuming passions; you can love a person so much but if they do something wrong to you, you can also feel hate for that moment. When you love someone you can hate some things about them, and when you hate someone you can love some things about them. You can say that they define each other, maybe without hate there would
