Light had darkness. Hell had heaven. Man had woman. Bitter had sweet. Superman had Lex Luthor and Harry Potter had Voldemort. We live in a world of opposites. And like all opposites, one becomes redundant when the other ceases to exist. The is no good without bad. No heaven without hell. No thin without fat.
Likewise, no love without hate. Without hate, love cannot exist. Without love, hate cannot exist. Isn't it strange?
We can hate a person with a passion and yet we humans are capable of loving a person just as much. We are supposed to spread love, not hate. That is the good thing to do. But without hate, what would happen to each personal definition of love? How would we know what love is if we didn't know what hate felt like?
Similarly, how would we know what hate is if love didn't exist? How would we know? How would we know what light is if darkness didn't exist? It works both ways. One end of an opposite cannot exist alone, just like you can't clap with one hand. It truly is a strange world. There will surely be no balance.
This is why utopia cannot exist. Because what's happiness without sorrow? How would we recognize happiness if we haven't felt sorrow? How would we identify sorrow if we haven't experienced happiness? This is true to all paradoxes. This is the simple rule of opposites. One cannot exist without the other. It's a fact.
There should always be some hate to understand love and some love to understand hate.
Love and hate are an old married couple without a divorce policy and share inextricable ties. Each time you say that you love a person, you have hated someone or is still hating someone to know that you love the other person. And the deeper your love, the stronger the hate.
We learn to hate from love and we learn to love from hate.
Love and hate: They cannot exist without each other
