The Real and the Unreal

Thank you for your posts and comments on love. Before I add my two cents worth I shall leave you with another thought and question.

In past ages it was thought that the opposite of Love was hate, but now the Course in Miracles and various gurus are teaching a different twist that goes something like this.

Love has no opposite because love is real and hate which is based on fear is not real. Because hate does not really exist it can't be the opposite of something that does exist.

Do you think this is true doctrine or is it just a sophistic play on words?

Is hate and the negative emotions based on fear?

Let us turn this around.

Does fear always produce negative emotion?
