the opposite of love
is hate really the opposite of love? i think that the opposite of love is indifference. one doesn't dislike the person enough to hate them. one is indifferent. indifference is what one feels long after the feelings of love has evaporated. i feel indifferent about many lost loves. where once the mere thought of them may have warmed my heart or made me see red, the sea of indifference has washed it all away.

I agree. The opposite of love is indifference.
Yup. Hate is just one step below love..
Opposites are a funny thing. They often depend on the context.
Opposite of dry is wet. But when it comes to wine, the opposite of dry is sweet.
I somewhat disagree. It depends on how you define what love is. If you define it as an emotional response, then hate is also an emotional response and the opposite is a lack of an emotional response, or indifference.
On the other hand, if you define love as an attraction vector, then the opposite would be hate.
