Love and Hate

While surfing at the local library, I accidentally pounced upon this post Love and Hate on one of the top economic blogs - Marginal Revolution (#2 in fact based on Technorati rankings). Please don't ask me what was it doing in a blog dedicated to economics!!

For lazy bones who don't want to take pains of linking to another site this is what it says -
According to some recent scientific study, there is a thin line between LOVE and HATE. The same brain circuitry is involved in both extreme emotions - but hate retains a semblance of rationality.

Dunno how authentic was the study and the parameters considered but it is an interesting observation. We seldom know/understand why we love someone but generally are sure of what we hate in a particular person/thing!

Just my 2 cents...............
