And even neutral feeling which as peaceful
the Lord of Wisdom has proclaimed,
if, in attachment, he should cling to it,
he will not be free from the round of ill.

Continuing in my tradition of pasting in quotes, "The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference." -Elie Wiesel

The opposite of metta doesn't have to be hatred or aversion. Apathy is fully destructive enough both to the person who feels it and the one receiving it. At least, this is what came to me in response to the question of why neutral feelings might be a roadblock.
