@KennyLaney I really, honestly, keep trying to find it in my heart not to hate him. I think if I could see anything in him that showed he had any potential to be anything but loathsome.
I keep failing. I think he just embodies things I hate. He's an enemy of life and humanity and kindness and healing and prosperity. He's worse than any demon I've ever met, and I'm pretty sure he's just a really lousy example of one of a human being.
...
@KennyLaney I remember a scene in a Madeleine L'Engle book, where one of the kid protagonists encounters the embodiment of Evil (it looks like a gross brain). And she knows that if love touched it even a little, if she could find it in her heart to love it even a tiny, tiny bit, it would shrivel right up, and everyone would be saved.
But she just... couldn't.
I get it.
@KennyLaney fully justified
