RE: Why Guns Won't Solve Our Problems And Neither Will Gun Control - Here's My Alternative Solution.

Well, I wouldn't want to put it that way either. It is most certainly not a omnipresent feeling response to that which is not preferred...

Why would it be?

Even in the state of Love we can be indifferent to things, we must be, even!

In the model using the spectrum between fear and love dislike and hatred are on the side of fear, though,
if you parted it in half.

I get that you operate with a different model, friend. I pointed out where they had something in common: the importance of the heart and actively working on it.

Love!

Yes, I agree that we share important understandings. I am passionate about sharing understandings from the heart about the lost wisdom regarding free will because I know how needed it is now.

I will just reiterate that by placing fear as an opposite to love, you make fear a 'bad' thing. By placing dislike in a box along with fear (bad/negative) you actually negate the entire process of free will choice. If I have to choose between red grapes or white grapes, I can just choose purely based on a love of red grapes - with zero involvement of anything even remotely along the lines of a 'bad' emotion/thought that negates the choice of white grapes.

It can be necessary to process a lot of fear by allowing unconditional acceptance of all emotions before we can get really clear about what we are really feeling - so discussing these issues is always complex.

There is nothing wrong with fear. It is not a Bad thing.
But if we base our actions on (irrational) fears, that's when bad things usually happen.
This can be avoided by increasing our ability to love.

I agree that fear is a problem, I am just wanting to clarify that dislike does not require fear ;)

Sure can live with that :)
I can only repeat: it all depends on definitions and models.
We argued the one closest to indifference and furthest from outright hatred. There won't be much fear to be found besides maybe a learned caution or suspicion. When we move closer to hatred, however, it will be much harder to argue that there is no fear involved ;) Love!
