The Many Facets of Love The Christian religion
can really be reduced to one word, "LOVE", implying "joy, maximum
achievement, spiritual, mental, physical and social health," as any
doctor would confirm. Indeed, laughter and imagery is now prescribed
medicine even for physical diseases, and with proven effects even
in some terminal cases. Here are some meanings of "love":
| Achievement Altruist Amiable Amicable Amusement Apogee Appreciating Aspiration Awareness Beaming Beatitude Benevolent Blamelessness Bliss Blitheness Buoyant Charitable Cheer Comfort Concerned Concord Congenial Conscious Considerate Console Content Convivial Cooperation Cordiality Courtesy Creativity Dedicated | Delighted Devoted Discovery Disinterested Dynamic Eagerness Ecstasy Effervescent Efficiency Effort Effusive Elated Enamored Enchantment Encouragement Endeavor Energy Enliven Entente Enthusiastic Esteem Exhilaration Euphoria Exalted Faultless Fulfillment Gaiety Generous Geniality Glad Gladness Goodness | Goodwill Gratify Guiltless Happy Harmless Hearty Hedonism Helpful High Hope Hospitality Humane Humor Idealism Idealist Imaginative Impassioned Impetuous Inculpability Industrious Innocence Inspire Interesting Inventive Invigorate Joking Jolly Jovial Joy Keen Kindly Kindness | Laughter Lenient Loyal Magnanimity Masterpiece Merciful Merriment Missionary Moral Motivator Mystique Optimism Passion Patronize Peaceful Perfection Philanthropic Pleasant Pleasure Productive Protector Pure Radiant Rapture Reasoning Rejoice Reliable Responsible Responsive Sage Satisfaction Savor | Sentimental Smile Sociable Soundness Sparkling Spirited Spiritual Sprightly Sportive Sublime Sympathetic Tenderness Thoughtful Tireless Tolerant Tranquil Trustworthy Truthful Understanding Unity(Intrinsic) Unity(Social) Virtuous Vitality Vivacious Warm Well meaning Well wishing Well-being Willingness Zest Zip |
The
Many Facets of Hate
"HATE" represents the opposite world from "LOVE" and implies suffering, destruction, weakening of the spirit, mental and physical health, cancer, cardiac diseases, and most everything, and also the disintegration of society at large: | Abhorring Acerbity Acrimony Alienation Aloof Anger Annoying Antagonize Animosity Atrocity Barbarous Beastly Berserk Bitchiness Bitterness Bloodlust Blunt Brusque Brutality Brute Bullying Cool Callous Chilly Crassness | Cruelty Cursing Damned Detesting Devilishness Despicable Destructive Disagreeable Disgusting Displeasure Dissention Embittered Enmity Enraged Envy Estrangement Exasperated Ferocious Feud Fiendish Fierce Frigid Frosty Fuming | Furious Gall Gloating Grudge Harsh Horrible Horrid Hostile Ill feeling Impertinent Incompatible Indignation Ingrate Inhuman Insinuating Insolent Insulting Intolerant Intransigent Irascible Irritated Jealous Loathsome Malevolent | Malice Malignant Merciless Misanthropy Misogyny Mordacity Morose Murder Nasty Obnoxious Perfidious Pestilential Phobia Pitilessness Prejudice Rabid Rancor Repugnance Repulsive Resentment Revenge Revolting Sadism Savage | Scowl Snapping Snarl Soreness Spite Sullenness Swearing Tantrum Temper Torture Traitor Treacherous Truculent Unforgiving Unsociable Vandalism Vendetta Venomous Vicious Vindictive Violent Vituperative Wickedness Wrathful |
Hate is like a boomerang; one never knows when and how it returns. 
Self-actualizing people have the wonderful capacity to appreciate again and again, freshly and naively, the basic goods of life, with awe, pleasure, wonder, and even ecstacy, however state these experiments may have become to others... what C.Wilson has called newness.
Abraham H. Maslow
Note
Pygmation, a classical Greek sculptor, makes an ivory statue representing his ideal of womanhood, then falls in love with his own creation; Venus brings it to life in answer to his prayer.
