What is the opposite of love?
My first instinct, like most people’s, was hate.
This question was asked while I read A Course In Miracles (I’ve not gotten very far – it might take me years to finish!). The answer it gives is that the opposite of Love is Fear. Every so often a simple saying or thought comes into my sphere and changes how I see the world – this was one of them. Fear creates hate. Fear creates anger. Fear creates most of the negative emotions and behaviours we experience and try as I might, I cannot not unsee this.
