Hatred The antonym for love, the grief of souls, the lost meaning of relations, the unspoken word of the devil... it takes more effort to hate someone rather than shower him/her with love. It saps the vitality of a buoyant soul, it reminds one of the dark alleys of life and it gives nightmares on long black nights. Hatred like love is strong, memorable, happens once or maybe twice in a lifetime and remains with you for a long time. Initially, it gives sleepless nights and takes away peace similar to falling in love. However, the similarity ends here and the wide inseparable crack emerges between the two. Love brings incessant joy, pure ecstasy and lifelong peace whereas its counterpart just leaves you with burdensome grief and restlessness for a lifetime. Metaphors like dark alley, deadly venom, creepy nights and razor sharp knife have been used to denote this feeling. The basic question arises: Why do we hate someone? Surely, we never go on hating absolute strangers. We hate the ones close to us or maybe we hate the system of things impacting our lives. We might hate a relative or the bureaucracy or prevalent corruption. We hate them for the negative impact they have on our lives and sometimes this hatred becomes our way of life. We complain, grieve and continue to hate. The end result is that we live grudgingly and continue to make our lives sour. The sweetness of love is replaced Live the joys, forget the pain, forgive....
