- Go to Is Love A Better Solution Than War? Is that really true?
KlaraRoberts, as you might have understood
I am not suggesting to become cold machines, but I am creating a warning of irrationality that exists in hate as well as in love. Thanks againg for your commments and I hope you will come back.

I understand this, Horus.
Love and hate are both detrimental, overall. They interfere with rationality, and as such can both weaken us. They create a loss of rational energy. Decisions in life need to be made in the abscence of either, although this is difficult, and I fail myself many times at this.

Kelli, How come is so difficult to be understood? I am saying
tha love and hate are the same; I am saying that both are irrational, and that if we criticize our actions when they are based only on the hate then we should also criticize them when they are based only on love. Love and Hate are both passions. This will not mean that I love what I hate and I hate what I love; it means that REASON belongs to another dimension of our mind which is more difficult to master. We react following an inrrational mechanism when we just listen to hate or just love. I hope that this is clear enough.

Ariala, I think you are confusing love with rationality.
Reason asks the right question. You answer exists before the question: it is love. Love and hate belong to the same area of human soul. One can loose her reason because of hate AND because of love.

Love is not a weapon. It is the greatest source of energy available
to free a person. If you want to label it a weapon, that's your choice, but it's certainly not the "weapon of the weak." It's the mightiest weapon of the strong. A rational mind doesn't react out of hatred or strong emotion. A rational mind says, "What is the best course to take?" The best course is one of love -- the highest emotion available to man.
