OT Some Humans speak of Love as if it were the only relationship between humans; but are they justified in choosing it as an example, seeing that there is also hatred? (BTW, you are the best personification of Hatred I know of.) As long as Love is "blind", that is, as long as it does not see a whole being, it does not yet stand under the basic word of relation. Hatred likewise remains blind by its very nature; one can hate only part of a being. Whoever sees a whole being and must reject it, is no longer in the dominion of hatred but in the human limitation of the capacity to say You, Thou. It does happen to men that a human being confronts them and they are unable to address that person with the basic word that always involves an affirmation of the being one addresses, and then they have to reject either the other person or themselves. However, when the desire to enter into a real relationship comes to this barrier, it recognizes its own relativity which disappears only when this barrier is removed. I'll grant you this: Whoever hates directly is closer to a relation than those who are without love and hate.
