Contrary to Love

What is it that is contrary to Love? It is a tricky question and I would like to point out that the questions is not what is Love contrary to, for Love is contrary to nothing. Another way of saying this is, Love does not oppose that which opposes it. However, one of the fundamental truths about Love is that it is the opposite of fear, so we could say that anything which promotes fear is contrary to Love. That would range from terrorists on one extreme to judgmental thoughts on the other. Another attribute of Love is Unity. Therefore, ideas or actions which have polarization as their goal are contrary to Love. So, as you can see, religion and politics... pretty much contrary to Love.
