Day Twelve: Person You Hate Most

Unfortunately, Readers, I don't think that there's a person that qualifies here as a person that I hate the most. There are people that I dislike and people that make me grind my teeth with their frequently uttered stupidity, but I don't think there's anyone that I would go so far as to say I hate. I think that requires an expenditure of energy that I'm just not a really big fan of.

Don't get me wrong here, Readers, because I am a very angry individual. I rant, rave, and complain on a regular basis. As someone I worked with at Owens once said, I don't suffer fools well at all. I have very little patience for most people and even less for people that keep making the same mistakes.

Hate, on the other hand, requires a ridiculous amount of time spent on the person that you dislike. Also, you really have to have a perpetual commitment to thinking about how much you dislike that person. You might even formulate elaborate revenge schemes to get back at them or spend your life trying to ruin theirs--which, in truly Karmic form, usually ends up only really ruining yours once you've realized how much time you spend on the science of hate and revenge.

Personally, I don't believe in devoting that much of my precious time and energy to people that I dislike. I might do a little bit of Internet where-are-they-now searching, but that's about it. I just don't really care that much. Now, really, I'm cheating with this post because the alternate topic was to write to the person that's hurt you the most. I had two really good choices there, but I've already written to both of them--and I'll let you go ahead and have the capability of determining who I'm talking about. For the sake of avoiding redundancy, I decided I'd just make a blanket generalization on the subject of hate.

Realistically, I could write even more about this subject. I am, however, choosing to go back to bed. In triumphant, sleep-related news, I went to bed at a decent hour and slept for five solid hours! Woo hoo! The downside is that, in order for me to accomplish this goal, I had to stay awake for a consecutive 24 hours. However, progress is progress, no matter how much regression you had to do to get there.
