not necessarily a theory, but moreso an opinion.

Ive been dealing with a whole lot of mixed emotion garbage here lately, and its starting to become really clear how close one emotion is to another.

My ap english teacher (who was 100x better than both of my professors) said during one lecture that "love is the closest neighbor to hate." I know this is true b/c I have extreme feelings of hatred and anger towards my ex for the way she treated me at times, and then other times I just want things to be straight between us so I dont feel that way anymore. The more I thought into this quote, I really think you could change those two emotions out with many other forms. Such as "ignorance is the closes neighbor to the truth."

I don't know, post your opinions b/c I think you can have pretty good conversations about the truths or untruths behind it.

Lately Im dealing a lot with the hate, love, pissed, seclusion, bliss...too many at once i must say(for me)

and I thought I was emo, you freakin pussy.





j/k =D

i understand your sarcasm...

but this isnt about emo, its about emotions and their relations...it has nothing to do with music

I totally agree with what you're saying about love being so close to hate.

It's like for me, a while ago i thought i had feelings for one of my best friends and i ended up resenting her, the things she said even if it was of no relevance to anything going on. For some reason i got so jealous and hostile towards her and her decisions. In the end, it was pretty bad that it actually felt like i hated her, but at the same time wanted to be with her so badly.

Eventually, i learned to get over any issues i had with her because i realised they weren't just the things that they were doing but i was kinda being immature about the situation. I guess i just grew up and took it like a man.

You might not understand what i'm chatting about, but that's my two cents as they say.

this is RETARDED.
you make the most retarded threads.

Then why are you posting in it?

Shut the fuck up.

Ill definately agree with "love is the closest neighbor to hate." As said above, when in a situation where you just are crazy about the other person, its so easy to flip the switch and feel the opposite emotion when things go wrong. Say the girl that you (think you) love is with another guy and it just makes you hate the dude and resent the girl, even though neither have done anything wrong, or maybe even know about how you feel. Love and hate will go hand in hand because I think theyre the human mind's most powerful emotions.

I wont agree with "ignorance is the closest neighbor to the truth." How would this be true? Ive been trying to relate the two to each other in this phrase but really cant make any connections. Ignorance is like being in the dark whereas the truth sheds light. How those two would be "neighbors" is beyond me, but they are more like opposites. Maybe those who live life in ignorance are just as sure about things as one who knows the truths about life. Each posseses the "right answer", with one knowing the truth (proven facts, enlightenment) and the other knowing his own version of the truth in his head.

I think this is the first deep post i've ever seen you write?

Fuck it.

thats what i said. Ive just been chilling the last few days. I moreso just write a lot, rather than get upset lately. Keep my mind clear...or i just smoke weed

as for the ignorance being the closest neighbor to the truth...somewhat because most people lie and the people who believe lies see it as the truth....they dont know better. It was moreso just stating two other things that can (not necessarily are) be close.

Youve been here for a month and a half.

Love is a state of mind, our whole thinking process changes when we're 'in it'. We see things through a different light,discover new feelings, etc. Then something happens that makes us fall 'out' of love (whether it be a breakup, somebody cheating) and we snap back into reality. When we snap back into reality, thats where we choose to be angry and filled with regret, or decided to say 'fuck it' and suck it up. I prefer the latter.



At least that's what I think.

All this love/hate talk is making me want to be a loner

Well observed.

But i have been lurking for at least 18 months..

Apparently you didnt lurk hard enough, clownboy.

My old teacher told me the story of this nurse who was new to the job. In the first month she witnessed a birth and the baby came out already dead. For some reason, she burst out with hysterical laughing and couldn't control herself. It's quite interesting I think, because it seems that deep grief and extreme hapiness are quite close together.

ignorance and truth are no emotions... Oo

but well, you are kinda right. emotions can be so close together that it's sometimes hard to point out any difference... the love-hate thing of course is true.. I think everyone can relate to this.
