“Love and hate can’t exist together, I don’t think … True love has respect in it too, I think, whereas hate and respect can’t coincide.”
I’ve just a few minutes ago posted the words above on the Facebook page of a person I know, and I feel the words are worthy of a deeper conversation than may occur on Facebook. These kinds of things on that platform can sometimes get sidetracked and become ugly and stupid, rather than uplifting and stoic.
So, I am hoping other people will think on the words above, and offer any thoughts they may have about the truth, or otherwise of what I wrote. It’s a posted as if a quotation, but the words are my own, not anyone else’s. I am not a person with degrees and so on, but I am a person who thinks about things.
These thoughts began with a conversation on Facebook, as mentioned, and there has not been much response to it beyond a ‘like’ from someone I don’t know. I’ll keep an eye on that post there on Facebook, and hope there may be some kind of discussion here.
So if you have any thoughts about this, please leave a comment, I need input from others to see whether this is an important issue worth further thought.
