SEVEN STAGES OF HATE

1 - IT FASCINATES
The heart which can love and interact, now lies redundant under 
the heavy black overload of hate.

2 - IT CONFUSES
The more it runs the scenario the more it hides the real issues so after 
a while an entirely spurious story becomes the cause of hatred.

3 - IT MASQUERADES
Hate strikes at the most sensitive chord and plays upon that so that
it becomes courage, caring and crusade.

4 - IT OBSESSES
Hate is perennial and does not let up nor rest and insists on rehashing 
whatever caused it to rise in the first place. 

5 - IT CONSUMES
It is far more consuming to hate, for something must burn within 
to have the flames smolder. 

6 - IT PARASITIZES
Hate soon encroaches upon the part of heart which loves and overtakes
it so that the capacity to love and empathize becomes permuted in to
capacity to sustained hate.

7 - IT JUSTIFIES
This is the last stage. The capacity to compare and choose behaviors and 
values is gone. Any action is justified.

STATUS MORBUS
Love and Hate are now the same.
