Fascinatingly, in Hebrew the word for lover, “oheiv,” and the word for enemy, “oyeiv,” are almost identical. The reason is obvious, they are really one and the same emotion. In both instances one desires to become “one” with the other. In love one wants to merge together, while in hate one desires to swallow the other and incorporate the enemy into himself.
HaRav Yochanan Zweig
