RE: Question Of The Weekend: What's Easier | QOTW Last Week's Winner Announcement

Thank you for that wonderful question @hiveph. 😅

Love and hate are both equally strong words. It entails several different emotions and brain functions when you either love or hate. Most people would think that hate is the opposite of love when in fact, the opposite of love is just the absence of it.

I would say between the two - love or hate - both are heavy and I cannot choose which one is easier. To love is to understand, to be patient, and overall, to just care. On the other hand, to hate is to try to understand but fail to do so, to try to be patient but not succeed, to care enough that you use a lot of energy just to feel hatred.

For me, it would be much easier to be indifferent. To not feel anything. To not care at all. To neither feel love or feel hate. To not think of the relationship or connection you have. It is indeed the absence of love, and weirdly enough, the absence of hate. And that for me, is so much easier and so much more liberating.

And I thank you. 😘
