I remember reading a news item a while back about a wife killing her husband, or the other way around. I can't remember.
And at that time, I thought, "How can two people that presumably originally love each other, suddenly kill one another? How can you suddenly hate someone that you've loved so much before?"
But I understand now. Not that I would ever kill anyone. But I'm just saying I understand how that love can turn to anger, or even hatred. I think in most of these cases it involves a breaking of trust, a bit of betrayal, and, where it results in violence, a big, big dose of psychotic tendencies.
With me, it's mainly an issue of breaking trust and being manipulated. I have now come to realise how naive I was about half a year or so ago. Your love for someone, no matter how deep, can turn to hate. In fact, I would contend that the deeper the love was, the greater the hate can be. Because when you love, or at least like someone, you trust them with your heart. And when they abuse that trust, the first reaction is sadness. Which turns to anger. And then, perhaps hatred.
It's just an understanding. I'm not going to do anything.
Word of the Day: Hatred
