hate at first sight

Love is all we need? NOT. Thats what everybody talks about isnt it? LOVE, love and more of it. Thats even what makes the world go around, apparently! But lets stop and look at Hate for a wee bit -a perfectly natural emotion, an equal contender and yet a complementary aspect of love. Lets be thankful for all the hate in this world for without it we would not know the true meaning of love, let alone learn to value it for everything it is. Rock legends, Def Lepperd have sung about times when love and hate collide. There is nothing of that sort here. What follows is just an analysis of pure HATE or atleast an attempt at analyzing this often "hated" emotion by means of a series of unweighted questions.

When does pure hatred and a mere dislike merge into one? When does one stop knowing which is which? What was this hatred born of? What or whom is it going to destroy? What is the purpose of this hate? Why is it so often blinding and intense?Does it make you wake up angry each morning or is it just mere irritation for a short while? Does it make you resort to something to relieve the disgusting feeling you carry around with yourself? Is it helping at all? Did you want to be a hater? Do you want to be a hater? If not, do you feel you can't help it? How long can you go on hating before it consumes you? Do you hate in secret or do you let it be known? Can you forgive? Can you forget? What do you think about the phrase, 'Live and Let Live' and 'Let bygones be bygones'? Are you too hard on yourself sometimes or are you too hard on others? Do you give them a second chance? Or do you even give them a chance at all? How is hate affecting your life? Has it caused any changes in every day behavior?Does it hurt to hate or does it bring you joy? Does it drive you insane or do you find an explosion of creativity and focus while at it?

Well, nothing new or "profound" has come out of this analysing bullshit. I just HATE it when I can't answer questions especially if they're my own! I need to wind up this post right here. So, for concluding thoughts, in terms of emotions and their relation to music, if I was feeling LOVE and if I were a music conductor with that silly stick they wave ard, I could maybe come up with a sweet tune. Mostly of angellic, lullaby-ish sort which'll put eveyone to sleep. But very sweet, Very...peaceful and all that. Now If I was feeling Hate on the other hand...it would be a grand symphony of pure and unrestrained heat, frenzied notes that come together to sound like what could possibly be a jaw dropping performance that deserves a standing ovation! There lies the difference between the two. Also, a similarity in that there is undeniably creative beauty in both.
