- Go to The Opposite of Love.
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.
