<3 Love <3
Love is a deep feeling of affection towards someone or something, usually accompanied by a very strong emotion. There are many different kinds of love and love has always been one of the most important feelings which many living beings are capable of, it permeates human art, culture and daily lives. Unconditional selfless love towards all living beings is the basis of less retarded society.
What is the opposite of love? Many say it is hatred, even though it may also very well be argued that it is rather indifference, i.e. just "not caring", because hate and love often come hand in hand and are sometimes actually very similar -- both hate and love arose strong emotion, even obsession, and can be present at the same time (so called love-hate relationship). Love often quickly changes to hate and vice versa.
As mentioned, love is not a single feeling, there are many types of it, for example parental love, love of a life partner, platonic love, love for a friend, towards god, of pet animal, love of art, knowledge, life, nature, as well as selfish obsessive love, selfless love and many others. Some kinds of love may be so rare and complex that it's hard to describe them, for example it is possible to passionately love a complete stranger merely for his existence, without feeling a sexual desire towards him. One may love a beautiful mathematical formula and even people who hurt him. Love is a very complex thing.
