I think you can hate someone only because you love him so much, and with both emotions, you feel. I believe that the opposite of love is the absence of love or any feeling, then, I think it's best described as being indifferent to him, and not caring about him at all.Sunny Gonzalesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-224603240586171264.post-38019564964949396362010-01-14T09:40:14.498-05:002010-01-14T09:40:14.498-05:00Sunny, that's what I think, too. The "sex...Sunny, that's what I think, too. The "sexy exes," James and Giovanna, can't even be in the same room together or they'll fight - because their feelings are so strong and passionate. They have the power to hurt each other deeply - and when you're indifferent to someone, they usually can't hurt you that much. So, when they have the maturity to deal with their past issues, they realize they truly did love each other, and have never stopped - and that their issues are things they can deal with by talking and understanding rather than fighting. I love this couple!

Questions Questions... <br>I think that evolution has a lot to do with pheromones. I could get into a really long conversation about this, haha, but I'm just going to keep it short and say I agree with Sarah!<br><br>Indifference is the opposite of love. I think that it is possible to love someone so much you hate them. And I don't think you could truly hate someone without loving them first. (This is in direct relation to love- I'm not talking about hating someone for ...murder or something.) I will just use this as an example... if you're breaking up with someone, and they don't care and are totally apathetic to the situation, that hurts ten times more than if the person calls you nasty names and goes all nutsy with hatred. I hate when people don't care.Rex Robot Reviewshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04829415305989670137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-224603240586171264.post-75970298807943204592010-01-14T12:51:43.212-05:002010-01-14T12:51:43.212-05:00I do think that evolution affected the pheromones,...I do think that evolution affected the pheromones, and as time passes they adjust.<br><br>The opposite of love is indifference because it shows that you no longer care. With hate al least you still care enough about the other person to feel something.Spavhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01624345166962744896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-224603240586171264.post-35524312541806415132010-01-14T13:10:26.384-05:002010-01-14T13:10:26.384-05:00RRR and Spav, yes, it's a horrible feeling whe...RRR and Spav, yes, it's a horrible feeling when someone simply doesn't care. Remember that last line in Gone With The Wind, where Rhett says, "Frankly, my darling, I don't give a damn." Ouch! That would hurt so much. Now the question there is, do we believe he means it? Could all that passion he felt for Scarlett finally just wear down and turn into indifference? Especially at the point that she'd finally figured out what we knew all along - that Rhett is the perfect man for her.Susan Lyonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02245713121803930422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-224603240586171264.post-62813533245342663792010-01-14T20:31:40.975-05:002010-01-14T20:31:40.975-05:00Re Gone With The Wind, Frankly, Susan, I don't...Re Gone With The Wind, Frankly, Susan, I don't know.

Also, I held a contest to find the best recipe (since there are lots of them) and the winner is posted on my website. There were 8 finalists and a group of writing friends spent a lovely winter evening tasting "sex on the beach"!Susan Lyonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02245713121803930422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-224603240586171264.post-14369663416555363402010-01-14T23:05:46.772-05:002010-01-14T23:05:46.772-05:00Hi Booklover.

With background in psych, sociology, and anthropology, I really ought to have more scientific info - but when I write it's more about the characters and story than the science.
