They say that the opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference.
I have come to realise how true and scary this is.
When you hate, it's a reaction to an emotion that you feel towards something/someone. You still retain some kind emotion inside you for you to hate something. Kinda like how you can't have darkness without light, vice versa. That's why I think love and hate are on opposite sides of a coin.
But when you're indifferent, it really is on a separate spectrum. As in, you no longer have any feelings for it, you don't care about it, there's no source of emotion to trigger any other which is why you have no reaction to it.. Almost barren, cold, lifeless.
Indifference can be more dangerous than hatred at times.
