Lecture 1: love, hate and like

Define love. Dont expect me to give you a definition, i want you to define it for me. Yes, jealousy is the barrier between love and hate, destiny between life and fate, we've heard it all before. But what is love? Lets see it like this, when does like turn to love? I think its when jealousy arises from one when another is in the presence of he or she that is liked. But then again, love is bordered by hatred, hatred bordered by love, most act on instinct between the two and call it 'like'. They love some things about someone, then they hate some things. Question: When you love someone, dont you still hate some things about that person? Or, when you hate someone, is it because they do something that you love, or have something to do with something/someone you love? I know some who are in love, and others who are in love with the in love. I wonder if its just like a domino effect. In those cases, there is nothing to be done but let it be. When you're in, you're in I guess. I'm not in love, but i do love. My love is sheilded, protected. My heart is not on my sleeve (anymore) but there is hope for love. I admit i may fall one day...not saying soon, not saying far from now, but i may fall eventually. In fact, I know i will. Falling is actually scary, but some cant help but to do so. Remember, love is blind, yet light can be shone on it. Look for it and you will see it, dont think about it and you wont see a thing, just go on being blind. Besides, it wouldnt be my issue, would it? Love is found when your heart accepts one, when it would hurt to lose that person. I think love always exists underneath every situation. You can claim that you hate someone with a passion, yet there is still love. You love to hate that person. See Love's presence there? Hate is a very strong word (I'd prefer dislike) but if that is what one has for another there's love in that. Remember love is your stance, and you stand in it. But does love support you, or do you support the love?
