yeah i dont think you need hate to know love, but i believe to be able to appreciate love, knowing hate either helps or hinders, depending on the cirumstance.
I wouldn't consider love and hate to be opposites in this way.
I would say hate and love are almost the same thing, one being positive the other negative, with indifference being the opposite to both.
In which case, yes, you must understand the concept of value before you can love or hate something.

Love and Hate are both passions, and thier opposite would be indifference. Love and Hate can have the same intensity, and one can turn into the other over time.
in my expirience, you dont have to know hate to know love at all. sumtimes, it makes you understand the value of love if u know hate, but its not really necessarry.
Re: (Is hate essential to development) If you don't know hate, how can you know love?
Exact opposite. I beleive you must know love to know hate. I once thought I knew what hate was, but was sadly mistaken. Then I lost someone I loved so much...I realized over the next year what hate truly is, and it ain't pretty. Once you know true love or hate, it changes you forever.

Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with its surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply, and multiply until every natural resource is consumed. And the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You are a plague, and we...are the cure.

You don't need to know how to hate to know how to love because they're not opposites. Even if they were it would only add a sense of proportion or create to circular argument that you need to know love to know hate to know love to know hate.
