Love and hate can make or break a person. Love can make one blind to the outside world and lead them to make poor decision. For instance, when Romeo killed Tybalt, Juliet says "Shall I speak ill of him that is my husband? But wherefore, villian didst thou kill my cousin? That villain cousin would have killed my husband" (3.2. 106-111). This shows that although Romeo has killed her cousin she still loves him because if Romeo didnt kill Tybalt, Tybalt would have killed her husband which would have been more of a tragety to her. Juliet loves her husband and just because he killed her cousin isnt going to prevent anything, this will influence her decisions by making Juliet go out of her way to find Romeo which could lead her to getting in trouble by the Prince and her own family. I can relate to love impacting decisions when I was in a relationship I snuck out to go see him, and hang out but I was caught and was grounded for three weeks. These decisions can impact others by making them blind to the outside world, and prevent them from what is really important.
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”- Martin Luther King. Hate is the root of all evil which will drastically impact peoples decisions. One example is when Romeo kills Tybalt " they fight. Tybalt falls. The citizens are up and Tybalt is slain. Stand not amazed. The prince will doom thee death" (3.1.137-140). This shows that since the hatred between Romeo and Tybalt was so strong it lead him to kill Tybalt which will only negatively impact the rest of his life. I can connect to this because when I was little I hated everyone for no reason which lead to be lonely with no friends but once I stopped hating I found myself with plentiful amounts of friends. This can impact other by negatively influencing them to hate when really hate is the root of evil and will only lead to negativity.
