The Clinical Observations Concerning Love and Hate

Let us consider the polarity of love and hate. Now, clinical observation shows not only that love is with unexpected regularity accompanied by hate (ambivalence), and not only that in human relationships hate is frequently a forerunner of love, but also that in many circumstances hate changes into love and love into hate.

– Sigmund Freud (1856-1939)

  1. Scary..but true.. Hate to love is ok. However, I can’t imagine coming to hate the ones I love now..@anithaj

  2. @anithaj It is what is meant to be human, I suppose, and what sets us apart from the other animals. To love is to hate is to love…

  3. @anithaj-Inability you’ve expressed in not being able to hate those whom you love is of a healthy mind’s. But, narcissists and maniacs can do precisely that with no cause and reason at the drop of a hat.
