Silence. Silence is not quiet but the lack of sound, as cold is not so much cold as it is the lack of heat. That’s why we get so afraid of silence. We don’t have sound to protect us. Also similar to the dark. The dark is a lack of light, render those left in the dark unable to see, therefore unable to understand their surroundings. Now is hate simply the lack of love? To put it simply, no. The lack of love would be empty, like the lack of light looks like nothing, or dark. We too often compare hatred to dark, simply because we don’t know how to articulate our emotions. Hatred isn’t something we can look at and realize it’ll go away. It’s not like sitting in the dark knowing the sun will come up eventually. It’s like sitting in a room without a door, not knowing if and when you’ll come out.
