What happens when I love and hate the same person?

When you cling to an ideal of perfection, love and hate will dance together in your heart; drop the illusion, embrace imperfection, and let love flow freely.

— Osho
According to Osho, loving and hating the same person is a symptom of your inner split created by the ideal of perfection. You cling to an imagined ‘should be’ and collide with ‘what is,’ so attraction and rejection alternate. Drop perfection, accept imperfection in yourself and others, relax into the present—then conflict dissolves and love becomes simple, joyful, and forgiving.

You love the perfect person in your head and hate the real, imperfect one—stop chasing perfection, accept how things are, and love stops fighting itself.
