Love & Hatred.

Love and hatred. Two whole different words with two whole different meanings, but they still combine. How come?

Everyone has certain people in their lives they love to death. These could be family members, really really close friends etc. But the thing I keep noticing is the fact that the ones you love so much, are actually the ones that annoy you the most at some times. You feel like hitting and punching them, but you can't, because you love them too much. It's kind of the hatred-feeling. And actually I don't like the word 'hate'. I think it sounds really really mean. So maybe I should use the term 'strongly dislike'?
Yea, so.. You really get the feeling that you strongly dislike the person you actually love at the same time. It's kind of weird actually.. How two opposites lie so close to eachother & also actually have a big effect on you and your beloved ones. It's actually kind of creepy. It can become a fear. A fear to strongly dislike people you care about, which causes a fear to love. And to be honest, if you fear to love, your life sucks. Love is something you need, just like you need the feeling of joy. I mean, how can you live without joy? It's impossible. I think it's the same thing with love. Everyone needs to love and to be loved.

But now.. the thing I've been wondering about for quite a while is: Are love & hatred just something that is supposed to be combined at all times? Something that's supposed to be together, like a pair of shoes or the 2 parts of your brain.

Is it possible to love someone without 'strongly disliking' them at the same time?
