On Love And Hate
Number of Words: 657 / Number of Pages: 3
... altruistic to the reactionary. The altruists, wishing peace without
societal discord, tell us to repress our hatred and replace it with love, a
path bound eventually for emotive explosion and breakdown. The diametric
path gives us a series of smaller explosions with promise of emotional
stability as a result of constant expulsion of malefic urges.
