It depends how you define it.

It could also be apathy -- but then apathy can be the opposite of a lot of things.

Wouldn't someone who is apathetic be too apathetic to be the opposite of anything?

Hey all,

Sorry about that, it was a little out of the blue. It was a question that was asked to me and a few other friends in an alternative forum and I really did not know how to answer. I read everybody's answers and formulated my own :

" Love just is. There is no opposite, there is no equivalent, there is not comparison. Love IS "

I care not to divulge the intensity of the situational mood. As in doing so I would only seek to obliterate the fragmented dreams that I considered life. To love will only offer falsified hope to my ever faltering lust for togetherness. For only in love can one truly fathom the depth of an emotion likewise or opposing to the idea of love. Thus when, and only when, the unequivocal comes to pass will we insinuate to others what our love really is.

Is the opposite of something nothing?

Or is the opposite of something -(something)?

did you just prove that -1 is nothing, hence zero?
