love
[luhv]
Show IPA noun, verb, loved, lov·ing. noun 1. a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person.
2. a feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection, as for a parent, child, or friend.
3. sexual passion or desire.
4. a person toward whom love is felt; beloved person; sweetheart.
5. (used in direct address as a term of endearment, affection, or the like): Would you like to see a movie, love?
Antonyms:
1, 2. hatred, dislike. 15, 16. detest, hate.
I know this isn't what you meant, but I just felt like being that clinical definition muthafucka at the moment.

I was going to say indifference, but apathy works too. Hate and love aren't similar, they are the same thing. They are both secondary emotions rooted in need and respect; one just has a lot more anger (which is a derivative of fear.)

I don't know that I agree that indifference is a black hole. I'm am utterly indifferent towards my ex-husband. I want him to live well. Enjoy his life. Be happy for that matter, but at the end of the day, I really don't care - at all.
I would also argue that clear partners with opaque not in an equation with white and black. I agree with the positive and right equations. For the love equation, I'd put fear in the middle.

Interesting answers so far....
Much to think about.
My answer is fear is the opposite of love.
Since anger, pain, apprehension, and eventually apathy. all that stems from fear tend to keep one from love.
But I've been given more to think about.

Would you say love & fear are taught or instinctual behaviors?

Both. But inherently instinctual.

Neither are. Fear is a primary emotion. Love is a quasi-secondary enotion rooted in desire and trust / need. You cannot learn to love any more than you can learn the Darwinian principle of fear.
