Flashback... 11th grade. You feel as if your entire life has building up to this... the test that determines your entire future was just placed in front of you. Things are going pretty good as you begin to answer ... C... A... B... B... D... A... C... A... B... That section was a breeze, you think to yourself. Then it happened! Time seemed to stand still as you slowly flip the page to the next section... you cringe at the site of the most dreaded of all sections... ANALOGIES!!!
Question 1.
Happy: Sad :: _____: _____
A. anxious: apprehensive
B. scared: confused
C. love: hate
D. peace: joy
Confidently, you choose C. But should that have been the right answer? Is the opposite of love really hate? If not, what is the opposite of love? Is the opposite of the most amazing emotion in the world really a totally different emotion all together, or is it simply the total lack of emotion, feeling, interest, or concern... impassiveness... indifference?
The opposite of love is not hate... it's apathy.
To not love, is to not live... to not live, is to die... if you die without loving, what is to come after death? Without love, have you really lived at all?
