Love could turn into Hate

It could be as intense

Yes! Love could turn into hate. Here I am using the word ‘could’ as it may or may not turn so. When it comes to love, nobody would ever think that at a point of time in future they would start hating the person whom one has loved. In many cases that would not be the case. But when it turns to be so, it could be as intense as the love was. There is a need for some inflow and some outflow, and that should be balanced. Otherwise it is a sign of danger.  

I only feel one should be cautious on that. So if things turn the opposite, it is always better to be away from the relationship and close the matter.

..the very thought

..the very sight

..the very voice

..the very touch

   Is been love

                                                                                                           ..the very thought

                                                                                                           ..the very sight

                                                                                                           ..the very voice

                                                                                                           ..the very touch

                                                                                     Has been Hate

    So tragically true. We must be careful what we say and do with the people we care for, and even those who are not as “important” in our lives lest we create acrimony and wounds that may never heal.

    All relationships need to be nurtured. Love that is well tended perseveres all trials. So in order for love to flourish, daily affirmation of that love is necessary. It could be as simple as sharing a hug, a kiss, a tickle, a laugh. It’s enough to keep the ‘opposite’ at a distance. But a good thought provoker.

      You are not only right but the tip is what one should do. I vote for that Hug, Kiss,Tickle and Laugh or any other that could matter.
      I loved that word ‘Nurture’ what you have said.

    Absolutely agree Shiva. From my own experience. And amazing how it shows in the eyes eh? one day depths of love, another, hard granite stare!! And doesn’t it raise the issue…how we use the same word for a human emotion, which changes, and a connection with our true self, which doesn’t. Maybe we need another word?

    So true but then it wasn’t really love in the first place, I believe. It was maybe fondness or need or possessiveness. I just think real love grows into more love, but that is just the first thing that popped into my head reading this. I need to reflect on it more. 🙂

      Beth!
      You have caught it right, almost to the core. Catching the neck and asking; in a way you are right, questioning if it was love anyway. Yes it might be fondness, need, possessiveness, infatuation, arrogance, one-sided or /and innocence. I am also of the same opinion that on the contrary the love should grow and blossom like a flower emitting fragrance. But over a period of time it tends to deteriorate as the expectations and wishes crop up and the ego system starts applying. I am very happy that a nice discussion is going on here and as you feel please reflect on it more. My previous post Respect & Command has also been having some fruitful discussions which are still on, you can throw light upon that also.
      My next two posts I think will be on some important topics which I am putting it on the international platform.
      Here it is Deepawali festival, the festival of lights. It is the only festival especially for we business people in India. Past so many weeks I have been very busy executing pending orders, so I was unable to visit other blogs.
      Hope everything is fine with you and your dear hubby.

    Shiva & Beth, you make good points. For me, I often find that I tend to over intellectualize, & that it only sometimes does me good in terms of interacting with people. Hence, I need to not dwell too much on why’s & how’s. Ideas of how I ‘should’ react, act, think, feel – turn the other cheek sorts of things, etc. – can end up making me more dislike the other person all the more. Sometimes what works best for me is to give myself a break from the person – to retreat, to wait, & then wait some more, which can be extremely difficult for me to do.

    In addition, ‘one size fits all’ answers usually make me worse, angrier too. Good luck to those for whom they do work.

        hehe thank you for the sweet words Shiva 🙂
        It’s fun to have found a sweet and young friend like you..

        Let me quote John Green… “You don’t get to choose if you get hurt in this world…but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices.”

        One can never be too careful in the matter of hearts but yes one can chose and after one point it’s done and you have to deal with whatever comes next.Sometimes people (man/woman equally) overlook every wrong their other haldf/bf/gf does because of love, some of them wake up but some of them stay in it for life…

        Have a wonderful day 🙂 see you

    If love can turn to hate then hate can sometimes turn back to love… I’ve found from my own experience that it’s often how we look at something and focussing on the negative aspects of a relationship makes us see more of that… If we flip it and remember what we loved once before and focus on noticing those things love can return… Many people give up on their relationship in the ‘hate’ phase when with some tweaks and a change of perspective they could grow the best relationship of their life… So many people must be throwing away those opportunities.. x

      Wendy that was really nice of you to turn the table and further give scope for discussion and to focus on reconsidering the matters which have gone worse or there is a way to return back with more love than before.
      There is no doubt about what you say and that is what we do in our day to day life with our partners – Husband & Wife or Lovers. There are daily patches of new dressings on the same hurt, don’t you think so- hahaha.
      But some wounds are so deep where it is not possible to continue, then it is better to let go the relationship. And give scope for each other’s happiness.
      I did love the words you said -“So many people must be throwing away those opportunities..” Yes it sounds so good, as if one has lost, that it was a Golden Opportunity.
      And, Wendy it is again so difficult to build a new relationship, like as if building a new empire. Hehehe

    This gets right to the heart of the matter…I have had this very thing happen more than once in my life…Finding that the more I would blame the other for their shortcomings or pain they caused me the greater the hate would grow and really I was only hurting myself…I was not healing from the hurt and I was not causing it to never have happened in the first place. My cure for hate is love and care for myself. I forgive myself much easier in life now and have a better understanding of human nature I also try hard as it may be sometimes to keep control over my emotions…How good you are Shiva to bring a subject like this to light by way of such a lovely piece of writing I am thankful to know you friend! 🙂

      Maureen it shows your openness and that you have a larger heart having to express this.
      Here you have put one most important statement ..
      ” I was only hurting myself…I was not healing from the hurt and I was not causing it to never have happened in the first place. My cure for hate is love and care for myself. I forgive myself much easier in life now and have a better understanding of human nature”
      I feel this should be the attitude of ones’ who have been trapped into this and are struggling to come out. It is such a dilemma I feel having a broader attitude towards life itself can lead to better days and happier days.
      In this context I feel you should read my poem ” Healer of the broken hearts”;

          On your top left side bar on the monitor there are two boxes one is the sites and the other is reader. Click on the sites you get a list of items where you can go.
          Click on the WP Admin your dash board gets open there search for the spam box along with other boxes
          See if there is any number attached to the word spam, say spam6 it means there are 6 spam messages pending for approval. Click on that, read them if you find good comments then release them. By clicking on the messages you get to approve, delete or permanently delete .
          Do accordingly.
          I hope you could now do it.
          Please inform me after you have done it.
          Have a nice day.
          Shiva

            I went there but there is only pages, testimonials, portfolio, themes, menus, sharing, people, plugins, domains and settings in my left side on my sites, where is WP Admin. So what do I open.

              Right now I am sitting on my desk top for you to tell this. The WP Admin before it was on top of the list, now I am getting to see it on the extreme bottom of that where you have opened. Can you see that now tell me immediately, So that we can go step by step.

              Look to the Akismet message and click on the spam if any you shall get the Comments page there you will see the All, Pending, Approved, Spam, Trash.

          I am sorry I thought I had already followed you. On my desk top I could not find the follow box on your site, so I have just now used my smartphone and have done it. Please be sure I shall be reading your posts.

    U spend all your life in the pursuit of love, and in the end hate? So sad but true

      Yes to a certain extent it is true. But getting to be sad is not welcome.
      After having to be in the pursuit of love we should have the satisfaction of having given love. You may speak of the hatredness from others, having to give more attention towards that it shall disturb us and bring distress to us. Better to be away from them.
      I Wish You Love always around You.
