As for the love example, Romio and Julet. These are two dumb kids who saw each-other decided they were meant to be and end up killing themselves for each-other based purely on the fact that they never have the chance to explore that love, truth is if you really examine the level the two actually knew each-other, it is laughable that either would go to those extremes and most of that devotion to their love is based on their families getting in their way. The Nostalgia Critic did an expose on it if you want more food for thought.

As for hate. Well, Daniel Holtz is the first that comes to mind. His family is murdered by a vampire, the vampire gets a soul, thus robbing him of his true prey, he kidnaps the vampires kid to get back at him, ends up getting sucked into a portal to another world and spends 20 years in a demonic waste-land trying to survive with the kid raising it as his own. Through it all he says the one thing that kept him going was hatred. Hatred of the vampire who killed his family and the knowledge that no matter what happened the mere fact he was there, keeping the vampire from his son for years on end out of shear spite was enough to sustain him through anything.

This is the exchange between Holtz and one of his followers, Justine, who waited for him to return:

"I can't believe you survived it. How did you?"

- Justine "My hate kept us alive."

- Holtz "Hate gets a bad wrap. It can keep you going sometimes when noting else will."

- Justine "Yes, I found that I had to stay alive that I might pass on my legacy of hate, But something happened in that place Justine, something changed. Amdist the most unspeakable ugliness... the hate turned into love."
