On Love and Hate:
|
|
|
|
Historically, extremes in emotion and reason do not often mix. I am
|
|
thus cautious of attempting to comb through love or hate with reason. My
|
|
recourses are two: to (yes, using what reason I have) separate intellectual
|
|
thought from emotion; and to apply as little reason as possible without
|
|
ceasing to write.
|
|
|
|
It seems reasonable (sorry) to assume that emotion and reason have
|
|
nothing to do with each other. It also seems very likely that one cannot
|
|
exist with the other. They seem capable of cohabitation within a single
|
|
person, but fall upon differing objects. Are not the things we love or
|
|
hate not the things we understand?
|
|
|
|
Hate:
|
|
Hate is one of our reactions to a lack of understanding. We cannot
|
|
hate that which we understand. Hate is our frustration at failure to
|
|
comprehend. The more we understand something hated, the more our hatred
|
|
becomes sadness or pity, or deepens to a hatred of that which caused
|
|
whatever it was that we did not understand. In the latter case, the hatred
|
|
may increase with understanding, but the object of the hatred has shifted.
|
|
|
|
We are given a wide range of paths for dealing with our hatred, from
|
|
the altruistic to the reactionary. The altruists, wishing peace without
|
|
societal discord, tell us to repress our hatred and replace it with love, a
|
|
path bound eventually for emotive explosion and breakdown. The diametric
|
|
path gives us a series of smaller explosions with promise of emotional
|
|
stability as a result of constant expulsion of malefic urges.
|
|
|
|
Neither of these, or combinations thereof, are terribly productive
|
|
ways in which to deal with hate, as even the moderate paths deal with the
|
|
hatred only superficially and inefficiently. I see the only way around
|
|
hatred being understanding. Upon comprehension of the object of hatred,
|
|
one is either better equipped for the constructive removal of said object,
|
|
cooly and rationally; or no longer desirous of the removal. Either outcome
|
|
is fully satisfying altruistically. In the latter case, one must accept
|
|
simultaneously a bit of humility for having been mistaken as well as a bit
|
|
of pride for having become a bit more correct. This leaves one emotionally
|
|
balanced. The hatred is not repressed, but transformed. The same
|
|
emotional energy is simply working in a different direction. Upon the
|
|
removal of the object, the hatred is put to work in a positive manner
|
|
instead of simply lashing out half-cocked and possibly incorrectly.
|
|
|
|
The process is simply that of questioning: "why does this specific
|
|
situation exist?", and "what can be done to cause this situation not to
|
|
exist?". Realize that just as for every action, there is an equal and
|
|
opposite reaction; for every reaction, there is an equal and opposite
|
|
cause; and that nothing is simply either cause or effect, but everything is
|
|
both.
|
|
|
|
Love:
|
|
Ask the same questions, hope not to find answers, and don't be
|
|
disappointed when you do. If you find understanding of the object of love,
|
|
it will no longer be an object of love, as love, similarly to hate, is a
|
|
reaction to a lack of understanding. The faster you find answers, the more
|
|
superficial the emotion. When answers come in the form of more questions,
|
|
you have a true indication of the intensity and thoroughness of the
|
|
emotion, and there is more likelyhood that when love finally disappears,
|
|
through comprehension, it will be replaced with respect and admiration
|
|
which you will find very easy to tell yourself is the same thing.
|
|
|
|
I am sorry if it seems I have advised you to processes that diminish
|
|
or destroy emotions; I have not. Emotions, contrary to poetic assumption,
|
|
are not permanent, but transitory (although it is certainly not impossible
|
|
for them to remain for durations exceeding a human lifetime). I believe
|
|
that the proper thing to do with emotions is to consummate them, not to
|
|
either prolong or shorten their duration, for one is stagnation and the
|
|
other repression.
