The same fingers we use in caressing and smooching are sooner or later used as claws to tear ourselves apart in love or hatred.
The same lips and tongues we use in saying "I love you" and "I Do" are sooner or later used in backbiting and cursing ourselves in condemnation and damnation in hatred.
The same loins we use in rubbing and entangling each other in sex and child birth are sooner or later used in spreading STDs in promiscuity and infidelity in hatred.

Best friends have betrayed each other.
Lovers have deceived each other.
Spouses have wounded each other.

How many tears have you shed in your pillows?
The tears of the sorrows of broken promises and vows?

But how can those who truly love sooner or later turn around to hate each other?

The fancies, fallacies and inconsistencies of humans are their own calamities in the romance of life.
