Love and hate are the two dichotomies of life for centuries. With the impact of the media the real meaning beneath the concepts disappeared in the last decade and minimized into the reflections of the first sight. The events, situations or values presented through the social media had a huge impact on the groups and individuals as to position them to reflect their opinion immediately and almost in a compulsory way. Once receiving a message, the individual finds himself/herself on the way to consider it somewhat ‘seriously’ as to ask “friend or foe” as in the old times. It is simplified to the point of a positive or negative positioning of the self. The way the people concentrate on the hate speech and the other mean words in comparison to the better vocabulary would be analyzed. On one hand the paper evaluates how difficult it is to oversimplify the feelings and reactions into two different angles and on the other hand all the reflections are collected as the data to show this dichotomy. This paper also concentrates on the current statistics social media such as Twitter, Facebook, Youtube and Instagram.
