“Your enemy is never a villain in his own eyes. Keep this in mind; it may offer a way to make him your friend. If not, you can kill him without hate — and quickly.”
― Robert A. Heinlein
One hopes Heinlein would pardon the hate in my heart.
Hate takes too much effort, and clouds the judgment. Contempt, however, is easy, especially with this bunch. Better to despise them. Don’t hate sewer rats, just destroy their nests and keep them from biting you.
