        "Opposites" is a matter of perspective. Love and Hate are opposites if you consider that one causes you to help someone, and the other causes you to hinder that person. Love and Hate are not opposites if you consider that both cause you to interact with that person; in this case Indefference is the opposite as then there is NO interaction.

        A little solopism, anyone?
