Of From Love To Hate

Some people find it hard to fall in love. Others may find it's part and parcel of their life.
In and out. In and out. Pretty easy, right?
Find someone you sincerely admire/like/have good feelings for, get to know him/her better, develop feelings for him/her, and voila ... you're in love.
Easy.

Perhaps not to you.And if you are the kind who find the above step ridiculously tedious or just find that the process takes damn.it.oh.so.long, then perhaps it might be REALLY hard for you to imagine how someone who fell in love with another one, can turn to hate him/her just as quickly.No.Perhaps faster.MUCH faster.And oh, I am sorry if I sound condescending - in the steps of falling in love.Do not mean to.

I was chatting with a friend from UK, and we sort of chatted about how crazy this world is right now. Divorce rate are skyrocketing. The weather is abnormal. Disasters are everywhere.
On the issue of divorce, he told me that his landlord divorced from his wife of 10 years.
Can you imagine that?
Having lived 10 years of life with another person. And then ... divorce?
And, it wasn't a peaceful divorce either!
The guy actually hated his ex-wife!
His ex-wife who had been his wife for 10 friggin years!
And he said it was a waste of his 10 years.

Hard to imagine isn't it?

Truth to be told, I had some first hand experience on this love turns to hate thing.So, it's really not that hard for me to imagine.
It's REALLY easy. To turn from love to hate. Oh. By first hand experience, I do not necessary mean that I have DIRECTLY felt it.Well, maybe I do.Still, anyway ...

People can turn instantaneously hideous about something they care a lot.It is really a pity.When you love something/someone so much, to end up slowly hating it.And when the hate consumes every single part of you, oh man.It's just pure hatred.So much hate, that ... you do things you normally wouldn't do.

It is sad.To know that these things exist.

I hate to know that I am vulnerable for this too.I am not a saint.Not a robot.I am human.Normal.With emotions running through the veins.I know what it feels like when you love something so much, that one day, you start to develop feelings of hatred because of something.It is not nice at all.Because then, you start forgetting in the first place, what had made you fell in love with it.Blinded by hate.Consumed by rage.It is so much easier.

And that is why revenge is sweet.

Or is it?
