Accerima Proximorum Odia

Because you have always claimed
I have never earned your respect, you
don't have to believe me, go and study 
Sun Tzu, look up Transactional Analysis,
dig for a definition of spite, intransigence,
vindictiveness; these are not benign
characteristics, my dear. They will all
come back to haunt you all your life.
Not for nothing has it been observed that 
those who cut off their nose to spite
their face are sadly diminished by the
effort. There are glances of hatred that
stab and raise no cry of murder, observed
George Eliot. The dissonance of your
friable, frenetic emotions are not unique,
you see, but they are appalling. Your
amazing vitriol, does it not discomfort
even you, with the frenzied depth of
its acid reflux? Those who go heedlessly
through life burning bridges will find
themselves marooned on a bleak,
deserted island companionless, embittered
and all expertly accomplished with that
stinging malevolent reproach designed
to alienate and distance. The reward of
a hateful mind is a cursedly forlorn abyss.

Hatred - ah yes, but what are little hates
But little deaths that wander on and on.
Walter Greenough, The Vision
