The most poignant stories, songs, movies, have been written about two things: love and war. Come to think of it, these are the same emotion in its two extremes. Passion, hate, enthusiasm, admiration, adoration, loathe; all just different names for that singular emotion; that we all run out of adjectives trying to describe.

emotions behind love and war are not even remotely similar buddy…..because motive and motivation behind both is different…..the only similar thing is the extent of suffering endured by humans in both…..probably thats why so many and the best films,etc. on both….

@Arvind: It will be back. Still figuring how to add that to this template. Not too good with Photoshop, you see…
@Pallavi: I expected this response; but as darkness isn’t an entity and is just the lack of light, hate isn’t an entity. it is just the complete lack of love. so the way i see it, like i said, is just as two extremes of the same emotion: one is glorious, and the other hideous, just due to something that’s missing.

i too expected a justification…..
love and war are not the two extremes of the same emotion , they are emotions at the extreme end of the spectrum of feelings …only similar in their completeness and gravity.
this debate can go on and on , so I’ll just say..perspectives differ!!!!
