Yin-Yang

“To love someone is to think of them three times, five times, ten times a day. To hate them is to never have them out of your thoughts. To hate someone is to be smothered by them, overwhelmed by feeling, made alive by their very existence. Love can be cured by a sight, by gossip, by rumor, by a pair of socks left unhampered or a slip of the tongue at a dinner party. Love is fragile. Love is the lie we tell ourselves to make all the other lies manageable. Hate is pure, though. Hate endures against all logic, against all argument, against any attempted reconciliation. Send me chocolates, I still hate you. Say you’re sorry, I still hate you. Fix what you have broken, I still hate you.”

This was a post from the Carver from the show nip\tuck and after reading his thoughts I began to think, and oddly enough I was thinking how he/she, cause as of right now we don’t know who the Carver is, could be on to something. Is love nothing but a lie we tell ourselves and is hate the definitive feeling that moves us from day to day?

It seems that hate is the one feeling that can gets us from situation to situation and can keep us up at night. Hate is the cloud that lurks over us every time we see or hear that certain person that has wronged us in the past. No matter where, when or how, we can have that feeling spinning in our stomachs all day and night without any relief. Love, on the other hand, can come and go as quick as an orgasm your lover gives you.

Funny how the one feeling you want is the one feeling we can’t hold on to, and the one feeling we want to just let go of we can’t seem to get rid of. Love and hate is life’s little yin-yang battle where no one comes out the winner. I believe there is always some love and hate within us all, the key is to never let the hate overpower the love.
