I WOULD RATHER BE HATED FOR WHAT I AM THAN TO BE LOVED FOR WHAT I AM NOT ( KURT COBAIN)
Love is not automatic. It takes conscious practice and awareness, just like playing the piano or golf. However, you have ample opportunities to practice. Everyone you meet can be your practice session.(Hari)
Is it so?:) (me)

Love takes two (Tina Turner); and you need to be yourself and to know a common language to share it with the other half. But the title implies a long discussion, because usually the same persons are simultaneously loved and hated. So, you need to be yourself in order to not bother to remember what your image is everytime you get out of your house :) An actor might have a different opinion, and a politician surely will have a different option.
With everyone? Probably, yes, except for the ones you already hate (and they know it). I'm thinking that the extremes might be the Stockholm syndrome at one end and a strange magnetic attraction at the other. But the paths differ with every person, and you have no guarantee that it will lead you straight to his heart. The good side is that at least you get to know someone which interested you from the start.
well, that's a way of looking at it.. the 2 sayings are not related..but I believe there are more ways of love..my opinion is that you can try to see a good side in (almost) every person you meet..that is not about 'guarantees' for sb's heart, nor about being loved and hated at the same time ..it s about the feeling of warmness toward another human being, not that passionate erotic love.. at least that's my interpretation.
Love.
I love apples.
I love my mother.
I am in love.
Same word- different meanings. English is far too brutish to capture the many nuances of love. The Greek language does a better job: eros, agape, philia, storge, but they too fall short.
In these nuances, we find unique expression for our heart, our mind and our soul. We can train our minds to love through practice, e.g. look for the good in people or demonstrate acts of kindness and compassion; eventually our mind will learn to love through these actions. It becomes a two way street: we can act out our love, but we can also learn to love through action.
Our heart, however, has a much more untamed and wild character. We may fall in love with someone- despite the impossible circumstances, or without rationale. We may stay in love when we are treated badly; and we may fall out of love without warning, no matter how wonderful the other person is.
We all long to express the love of the heart though a passionate kiss, through sex, through a smile of the eyes.
We are more than an elixir of electrons, chemicals, and instinct. There is an ethereal component that cannot be described, cannot be touched, cannot be expressed with equations or diagrams. (what is the physical manifestation of a thought? why is there satisfaction in the physical act of a kiss?). There are many imponderables in a dialog about love that cannot be answered....so why try? Just do it! :x
