DMSI V2.4 and Now V2.5!

[SargeMaximus]

Of course I can, especially when the desired outcome is the same.

It's like saying "will a shoe or a steak knife cut through this material better?" They may be different things, but the result you're considering them for is the same. It's no different with emotional states.

The desired outcome could be the same. But that doesn't mean that they are not different things, like the knife and the shoe. And thus they'd work in different ways (assuming that they work ), like the knife would cut a steak in a different way than the shoe. You're not gonna get the same clean cut with a shoe...

That's exactly my point.

Calm and collected = shoe.

Also, hatred is not the strong absence of love, but the strong presence of hatred.

I'd classify these 2 statements as the same exact. It's called the law of polarity. If you believe in that kinda stuff, or interested, I'd say google it. It's pretty interesting to me at least.

I might check it out.

But I'm sure you agree that hatred can emerge from (or even because of) love in many cases.
