Love As If You Would One Day Hate, And Hate As If You Would One Day Love »

Posted By myfairlady 8 months, 1 week ago in Family

I believe most are clueless to the reality of love. Love is not a picture of happiness, most try to capture. Love has its parallels. To love someone is a blessing in hand and a challenge in another. Sometimes it is hard to love. And sometimes we are desperate to love. To take on the challenge of love is not about getting someone to love us. It is about whether we can continue to love through all that is good as well that is bad, in order to unveil a love so great.

    I am not going to make fun of the article;
    it seemed sincere and well meant, if not written by someone for whom english was a first or second language.

    I am simply going to say that I didn't follow one tiny
    shred of what was said.

    Nothing.
    Zip.
    Nada.

    "Love As If You Would One Day Hate, And Hate As If You Would One Day Love" ?

    What does that mean?

      There's a quote from Nietzsche that conveys a similar sentiment and which I find meaningful:

      "You should honor even the enemy in your friend. In your friend you should possess your best enemy. Your heart should feel closest to him when you oppose him." (Friedrich Nietzsche)

        I dont get it ! It talks about love then hate, and its what you hate in yourself how can that be? I cant love if I am being abused or being hit while I am asleep at night, or staying away from people because your carring black eyes and you have no idea why he is hurting you. If a person suspose to love you when you have never did anything to cause the beatings. and ripping out you hair. Then they didnt love you in the first place, and your suspose to hate whats in yourself. If you can tell me how to hate whats in myself and still love the person who hurts you after comeing home after being out all night while your asleep beats the he.. out of you and more then I'll be glad to work on loveing someone who wants to do nothing but hurt you and work on that hate within myself. If you can find a way then what ever it is in myself that I hate I well work on it. In other words the storys telling us to find what we hate in ourselfs and keep on loving that bad persn no matter what is done.

          This sounds a little like "love is blind",or is it that with love comes responsibility?
          One thing for sure ,love isn't about "learning to love yourself".Love is more about nullifying oneself and becoming "one" with the object of ones love.

            Hmmm....
            "The challenge is the love itself, not the person you chose to give it to. Through this person you will face the things you really hate in yourself and in this world. Face these things with your hatred and conquer them as you hate them. It takes a great understanding and courage withstanding."

            Maybe it means: In loving someone you will face things that you hate about yourself and that it can be conquered with love and acceptance?

            That probably didn't make anymore some sense than the article! (Maybe if we smoked some pot we'd understand it better- it reads like the author was high!)
