IT'S ALL IN YOUR PERCEPTION

you've heard it said there's a thin line between love and hate

to each his own the perception

if it is to be so ,  could you say love ever existed at all 

love of the deepest degree ,  self sacrificing .

or in a fuller sense a  

giving of the most precious of possessions ,  life itself 

 in striking contrast of the above description of love .

hate which can be defined as a passionate disliking
works deeply within the heart and mind ,

and can bring on actions from overtly avoiding
 to committing heinous crime .

questioning the statement or meaning of what is stated ,
could we express the " line " as possibly a turning ,
where love may at one time existed but is no more .


 better yet say,  perhaps may not ever existed at all .


 feeling's of love are not superficial as infatuation ,
the description as being an intense short lived passion .


it is so much more , an indescribable need of completing
 one's self with the being of another .
 involving deep emotion and
exhausting energies of heart , soul and mind .


being the case , with the giving of so much of one's self
 is there a need or expectation for something in return ?
could feelings of rejection or disappointment create  the "line "
when efforts go unnoticed or not immediately appreciated


 is love to be measured out or is there a limit on love
 could that amount determine where love stops and hate begins


or is the " line " simply a term contrasting between two feelings
love and hate
no incorrect answer
the statement and how it's perceived is simply up to you
