(6,831 posts)22. Hatred.
That's what motivates them.
Pure, ugly, unabated hate. It fills their little black hearts and fuels their daily dithering. It has consumed them and they know nothing else. Anyone who doesn't exude the hatred they do, doesn't/can't get it. Those of us who are normal, cannot conceive of this kind of dark murderous emotion.
As a Catholic child, I was taught that hatred was too strong an emotion for mankind to handle, and thus no one should ever hate anyone. It was an all-consuming disease that destroyed the human spirit, snuffed out the soul. "Never say you hate some one." I believed that it was a mortal sin to hate anyone. As I grew older, I could see, first hand, the damage that hate visited upon people. It warped them.
