“A difference resides between love and hatred, in that this former state of being feels everything of another person, whereas this latter one feels everything oneself feels. Love feels all of another’s emotions. Hatred feels only what oneself has been feeling. This has been due to genuine hate coming from love. Hatred has always been a negative twist upon love, usually due to betrayal. Upon betrayal, a physical dislocation of another person from oneself causes pain to be personal. Though only personal, since while hatred morphed from love, a betrayed individual can only feel what has been removed.”
– Modern Romanticism
