I hit hate by accident, but I think love is more powerful. At least, in the sense that it is more important and brings greater value and happiness to people. Also, with love it is easy to ignore hate.

But hate can cause people to think and behave irrationally, ultimately causing the destruction of countless relationships and the ending of many lives. Hate can blind a person and drag them down into the arms of uncontrollable rage. Hate can last for years and years and turn a person's heart to utter ash.

oh, screw you heycrowd. *Hate can cause a person to think and behave irrationally, ultimately destroying the relationships that people once had. It is blinding to the point where some may take the lives of those that were once close to the heart.

Love can drown hate with cool, healing buckets of water, but a fire can never be controlled with a mere droplet. So that makes hate just as powerful, depending on who is harboring it.

True... I was thinking more along the lines of how love or hate would affect an individual's happiness. Not heir hate, but the hate of someone else that is directed at them.

I understood what you were saying. But the question was, which is the stronger emotion? And as much as we sit here and debate or give examples or argue about it, we can never determine which is stronger.

Hate comes in all forms and in all different people. Same as love. They are merely different in terms of how they make people feel. HOWEVER could we not say that having a love for hate is valid? Or a hate for love? Eh? Hehehehe.

Hm. Idk. You can't measure emotions, not truly. To me though, if you choose the right emotion to live by, you can do much greater things.

Ah, that is very true. The optimist, eh? ;-) but some people just like to see the world burn. But if we were ever faced with an apocalypse, I'd jump in your love boat because I much prefer peace. Well.. To an extent.

Look at Hitler, his actions were done out of hate. In the end, the Holocaust provided no benefit to his society or any other. It was a living hell and brought him infamy.

Not to say what he did was right, but people will give you the side to their story. Depends on what you believe in that determines what side of the line you are on. Love or Hate. Peace or War. Right or Wrong. Hm?

Even though all the things that I see as wrong and morally incorrect, such as the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the destruction of the Japanese, 9/11, The holocaust, the civil war, etc., I wouldn't change a thing. It's simply the cycle of life.

And Hitler was an assbag. But still a violent and powerful businessman. A master manipulator and control freak. He had talents, got to give him that. But he was also ruthless and cruel. Evil yet brilliant.

So, his hate (or as you say, love, but in the wrong way) lead him down a dark and evil path. Love does the opposite.

A young woman head over heels for heroin. It helps her get through the days in peace. Helped her make friends and helped her feel better in times of turmoil. Now she is without money and a home and without a job. Sent to jail.

Ah see, it can be a dependency. A need, a craving, an addiction. But is that not what love is? A need to be safe and happy and with a person? Or with artwork or with something?

If you don't have love, what do you have? Sadness, hate, jealousy, depression, loneliness. Love is dependent. Someone needs something to make them happy.

Who is to determine what love is? Doesn't it present itself to everyone differently? Like hate? A love for Jesus, a hate for life, a love for children, a hate for parents, a love for war, a hate for peace.

There are different stages to love as a general thing. Like hate. But the question still unanswered. Which is stronger ;) both are blinding, both can lead to fucked up and awesome situations. Example of fucked up:

I did a project on him. Could never find actual confirmation of his sexual preference. It seems it's generally accepted that he was a homosexual, have you read otherwise?

It would make sense, though. Back in his time, homosexuals were all over the place. Especially in the time of King Henry the VIII's reign.

Well, I don't know. It's generally accepted that he was, but not proven. He never married, was arrested for homosexuality, and had some drawings in his notes of men. He also didn't follow the Catholic Church's rules (his anatomy studies)
