how can our mortal minds even comprehend what real love is? are we part & parcels of the unending whole recognizing the divine within each other? are we spirits karmically bound for eternity? because both of those sound nice to me. and what about those with whom we clash? do we have a karmic dance to play out together, no matter how unpleasant?

love and hate are from same origin
I think that when we feel intense emotion towards someone - intense love or intense hate - it is the opposite polarities of the same mental karmic connection, mental connection we carry from previous lives maybe which calls for a resolution.
Are you familiar with this strange phenomenon that you get to know someone and instantly you find yourself despising him so grievously? And you haven't met him before, he didn't do you any harm, he reminds you no one else.
