Many said that the opposite of Love is Hate. In fact, I think I learned that in my primary school days about Synonyms and Antonyms. Apparently... Not. Not too long ago, my senior at work told me "If you realize, the opposite of Love, is really not Hate. Hate, by itself, is still a very strong feeling. Indifference is the opposite of Love." When he said that, it didn't hit me that hard.
A few days back, someone told "I'd rather have my dad hate me than to have him treating me as if I am invisible."
Again, listening to a story from someone, a rather grey picture (in my perspective) was painted to me. In order to protect oneself, this person choose to be indifferent. Which means, this person explained that he/she really don't know how to feel. When I heard it, I feel like my heart kinda collapse.
I never know how not to feel despite the many times I fail and get disappointed. And having gone through a few failed relationships (alot of friendships), I realized the most painful ones are when the other party treats me indifferently.
So with this, I try to apply to the work with my clients. I have heard many times from parents "Aiya.. I give up hope on my child ah! He is a good for nothing! Useless!" After saying that, fret over their studies, friends they mix with etc.. So I'll know that at least, their hearts are not "dead". Heehee...
Anyway, just the thought of the day.

Yes, how true. Let's burn, dash and destroy the parasite of indifference. Let's put it to death!! It's about the only thing that love kills.
