A Sketch of the Past
(Auto-generated)
- It was only the other day when I read Freud for the first time, that I discovered that this violently disturbing conflict of love and hate is a common feeling; and is called ambivalence.†
ambivalence = uncertainty, indecision, or state of having mixed feelings about something
- Was it not the origin of the love half of my ambivalent feeling?†
*ambivalent = with mixed feelings
Definitions:
-
(1)
(ambivalent) having mixed feelings about something -- such as when part of you wants to do something and part of you does not
- (2) (meaning too rare to warrant focus)
