there ain't no opposite -- just absence
but not total absence

whatever isn't love is just stuff out there.  it's stuff we basically inherit -- fear is a survival reaction -- in humans it's magnified to include things we shouldn't be afraid of.

love has to be developed; it's not that inherent.  we should learn that treating others well is the optimal behavior.

absence of love is being full of the self -- self-centered -- focusing on survival and promotion of the self at the expense of others.  learning love counteracts that.
