It’s a fine line between love and hate in the brain.
Researchers have found results that suggest that the areas in the brain involved in hatred are also activated by love. The researchers scanned human subjects while they viewed the face of a person they hated, and also faces of acquaintances for whom they had neutral feelings.
They then calculated a “hate score” - this was to quantify how much the participant hated each individual. Their results showed that viewing a hated face revealed a basic pattern of activity in the brain, that seems unique to “hate”. This “hate network” has components that have been considered to be important in generating aggressive behaviour and translating this behaviour into action. Most intriguingly though, the network involved regions that are almost identical to the ones activated by passionate, romantic love.
The researchers conclude that the link of these two brain areas may account for why love and hate are so closely linked to each other in life.
I think it is important to remember that there could be so many possible explanations for why these areas light up in both hate and love - a reaction to faces, threats (i.e. maybe you are super sensitive to threat when thinking about the person you love being taken away, etc.) but it’s an interesting study none the less.
Duh. I thought The Persuaders figured that out decades ago… and HTown confirmed this back in 1996!!?

This is what a REAL rape prevention campaign looks like
All the awards.
DO ME A HUGE FAVOR AND REBLOG THIS!
This is perfection in a campaign
I love how they included a situation where a guy could’ve gotten raped. People don’t seem to realize that males get raped too. It’s less common, but it happens. That is what sets this campaign apart from others.

How to love a woman.
“You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She’s not perfect - you aren’t either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. So don’t hurt her, don’t change her, don’t analyze and don’t expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she’s not there. -Bob Marley
