Hate
I've thought about it long and hard and I can't name one person I actually despise so much I'd like to see them in pain. I feel sorry for some, and dislike others but I can not hate them. How can you hate someone when you can never truly know everthing about someone? Is this strength or weakness on my part?

You know, I've always been highly irritated by some people, but I don't know if I actually hate them.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I don't find much kindness in humanity, and I don't like to leave myself exposed to what they can do.
I see us all as sick, twisted people. But that's why I keep laughing.
It's so ABSURD.
We can never know each other in their entirety. Andre told me once, "We only show others the side we want them to see." Who we recognize as an irritating person at school could actually be some struggling figure elsewhere.
In terms of it being a strength or weakness, that's up to you decide. Whether you see your optimism as a vulnerability to your emotional self will determine what you allow people to do to you (and what you will do to other people.)
Eh. Long talk. When in doubt, find the humor in it.
