Which is the STRONGER emotion, love or hate?

Love is a positive shared emotion ...

Hate is a negative self inflicted wound.

Love!!

I would have to say that love is the stronger of the two.Reason being that hate eats the person up inside until there is nothing left but a shell.Where as love grows and is productive i.e,babies!

Love is ultimately stronger.

Hate can only motivate one to do selfish things, and hate demands attention and effort to maintain itself.

Love motivates one to do things for others, and expressing love provides the energy for love to maintain itself.

Well, probably love will outlast hate.

Love. It lasts longer too.

I believe they are equal. The sense of indifference is the "opposite" of either.

In the great words of The Beatles

♫"All you need is love"♫ ♥

Hate is awfully strong, it does seem to overpower all other things, so i will go with hate, Love is amazing and it is something that everyone should experience.

But hate seems to overpower all other emotions.
Just don't let something like this take you over, because take you over completely it will.

Love ofcourse. Love is unconditional and natural inborn emotion. Hatred will have a reason lurking in the mind to explode.

Actually. . .I've heard they're BOTH considered the SAME. . .in that if you HATE someone. . .you must STILL love them. . .or you would, otherwise, feel NOTHING at all! "Indifference" is knowing there's NO PASSION THERE AT ALL ANY MORE ! Sometimes. . .that can be a contented place to be!

I have never felt hatred. I don't use the word and what the word describes is something very ugly, corrosive and destructive. I think if one hates one is stuck in babyhood/childhood and hasn't grown up. Some are stuck in that sorry place all their lives. Banish the word from your vocabulary and maybe you can banish that negative emotion as well. I think real love, true love, faithful love is the strongest emotion of which humankind is capable. Happy Monday! :)

Love is stronger. Hate is artificial and not a primary emotion. Like anger, it has its roots in unnatural fear. In the end, love can always trump hate because it is primary and genuine. But it is really not about which is stronger. It is about which we choose. If we choose love, it will always overcome hate. If we choose hate, we will go on hating.

For me it is love!! All the way!!! +5

Initially I'd say hate but I don't believe its' true because it can't stay there; it's not original. Love.

Both are in the same category. The individual how much involves in it will indicate the emotional level.

I think love is stronger.

I'd say love. Love is infinite, and so many things around it strengthen, nurture, and support it. To me, there is simply little stronger than love, period.

Love you.

There is a really fine line between love and hate, in my opinion. I had a boyfriend who swore he loved me, asked me to marry him, I turned him down, he still loved me anyway. But when I broke it off, he hated me passionately. He stalked me, turning up places I didn't know how he could have known I'd be. I had to change my phone number, get my brothers involved, eventually he moved on. He scared the hell out of me. That was a bad mistake on my part, even going out with him.

hate. there are things i still hate more than things i loved.

sadly i beleive its hate, hate motivates more agressive action and is easier to achieve

hatred is stronger than love... cuz hatred currupts all
.....when u get a bad hateful , first impresion of sumone, no matter how much good they do you will still see the negative or bad/hatefulness in them.....but if u meet sumone with a good loving first impression and see them or hear that they did something bad in your eyes..... that love has bin shattered and what once love truned into hatred.. so hatered in my opinion is stronger than love

hate is stronger.....because hate tears u apart makes u weak currpts the mind of the loved or loved ones.... in which love just heals soothes the soul but hatetred will always return and tear u up once more till u dont belive anyone is there 2 save u untill u start 2 belive ur worthless.... and then love can not help you not as fast but it can still still help.. but hatred is more powerful than love that is my opinion...

Love is a stronger motivator than hate because it is more reflective and are often done at great personal sacrifice. Hateful acts are often not done because it would not be self serving. By contrast, loving acts are done whether they are self serving or not.

For me it's love.

My love for my wife is much stronger than my antipathy for my next-door neighbor or the ahole who intentionally scratched my car.

I imagine hate is a stronger emotion for some bigots, terrorists, criminals, psychos, etc.

Tragically in some cases, it's also stronger for some crime victims.
E.g., I love my niece, but if someone murdered my wife, my hatred of her killer would be stronger than my love for my niece.

It's about the same, they both block your logic and make you do irrational and reckless things, if of course the ratio between them is the same.

Depends on the person expressing it.


Now had you used the word "better" My choice would be love every time.

I would make my bet on love, but they are so close... I know lot of couples which started with hating each other and then became lovers or got married.

Same Sh*t, different day

I would say emotion because it plays a part in love and hate

neither nor...If either was stronger, the other should technically not exist. We live in a universe of opposing forces. Love-hate, mind-matter, black-white, day-night, etc...Then again, I am saying that assuming love and hate have already been given a sturdy definition. Anyways, good luck answering that question.

i think h8 because wen some people love the get jelus and jelusy is a form of h8

love. cuz you gotta love someone soo much to be able to hate to an extreme.

Love is stronger. While hate is of course very strong as well.

love

Love. Because love will always beat hate in the long run. Hate feels strong but it actually weakens the hater. In human relationships love can make the seemingly impossible possible.

Define stronger?

Love.

Oops XD Didn't mean to answer lol. But yeah, I still say love. ♥

can't have one without the other...one nourishes, one destroys. But Love is triumphant.

Boy, ya got that one right!!! Evil is as real as any physical realm, some say even more real! Wirth tho? I mean this guy makes the anti Christ character sound to be a lovably cuddly friend!
HEY!!! Maybe the anti Christ already came & went with Wirth! Either way, thanks for the answer & comment, happy Saturday to ya...till next time!

Love is subjective and peoples ideas of it change often.
Hate is pretty much the same regardless. So if you were talking about the general levels of hate vs love, hate would probably win overall since you can't really define love due to its many forms (and teenage crushes of OMGOMG IM GOING TO MARRY HIM ONE DAY).

From an individual viewpoint, all depends on how strict you are in your definition of love. And how many people you've come across that you strongly dislike, enough to say you truly hate them.

Some people are capable of having complete contempt for others for a lifetime, others let it slide a lot easier.

Some people fall in love every 5 minutes, they're usually the people whose definition of it are incredibly strict and 'fall out of love' the second they realise the person doesn't fit their idea of perfect.
Then you have those who fall in love and never fall out of it, whose definitions are generally a lot looser, and generally quantify it as something along the lines of being able to tolerate each others company year upon year without getting sick of them, and being able to get along in a way they both appreciate.

I consider them equal. I have been moved to do incredibly stupid things that I would not normally do because of both love and hate. In my case, hate could be considered the strongest, since it's much easier for me to hate than to love.

People can hate with a passion, but Jesus LOVED in His passion.

I believe love is the up most strongest emotion of all, and not just hatred.

Which is stronger? There is no way to measure the strength of an emotion.
It is fair enough to say that both emotions are very powerful.

I think love is the better emotion.

love is more power full than hate i know this because i was on the verge of being totally consumed by hatred nearly its puppet i was barely able to control myself but just enough to stop my actions from having a very unfortunate long term effect a young lady showed me kindness that no one had ever shown me and in a moment of love over 14 years of hatred was destroyed

Depends really. but i think i would travel to the other side of the world to be with a loved one but i wouldnt travel half the world to kill someone i hate.

Definitely love. It is a cliche but it is true that "love conquers all". Sincere love and kindness has the ability to deflate hate.
