Warm or cold?

After some “poetry” in the afternoon *glowing eyes* … someone pasted a phrase to me on mIRC that put me in a philosophical mood :)

“A kid asked Jesus: ‘how much do you love me?’ Jesus replied: ‘This much’ and stretched His arms on the cross and died for us. If you believe in God you will send this to everyone on your list. If you delete this, you will have cold love in 2005”.

First of all, whoever believes in God should believe that Jesus loves us so much that He doesn't need us to send these kind of messages to prove our love and belief to Him. Secondly, I believe that love can never be cold :)

Two random love quotes:
“With love all things are possible. Love gives the heart, the mind, and soul wings to fly and believe in miracles. The inspiration and power to make those dreams come true”.

"Love's pure silver flame gives each innermost spirit invisible warmth."

Ok. So (for me) Love is definitely warm. Many people conclude that Hate, which is considered to be the opposite of love, is cold. However, whilst sharing thoughts on the subject, I concluded that Hate is not cold.

"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart." - Helen Keller …

hmmm Hatred is felt from the heart. Hate means that you feel something for that person; it implies some sort of feeling. If there is feeling, there is warmth. The absence of feeling is indifference and thus indifference is cold. So hate and love become nothing but a continuum of which indifference is the other side of the coin.

The funny thing is, what hurts the most is when you are ignored, not when you are hated … like a piece of metal; it can't love you or hate you because it's cold and because it has no feelings … indifference is the same thing :) …

… time for another warm cappuccino!
