gotta love
complex people
those fabulous
and fascinating
misfitted mixtures
of loathe and love
everyone hates
or is jealous of...

Very nice flowing pace and cadence, love the subtle rhyme as well. Not a nit in my early reads, Mick. Happy belated B-day while I'm slipping on for a few quick reads. Ron

Why do we hate? Why do we envy? We project that part of ourself that we are not comfortable with onto another. It is certainly easier to hate someone else, than having to look inside and acknowledge that part of ourself as hateful.
'..misfitted mixtures
of loathe and love......."
To quote a respected friend:
"The ego has the soul by the throat."
Nice piece.

hello, Jon----am blown away by the truth of what you have said here----but here is the proof of that projection you reference: "Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things." ROMANS 2:1
And yet, we all do this, seeing fault somewhere else, and not in ourselves----I know I do, have done, and likely will do again, before I catch myself, back up, and look at what I'm doing, and decide to knock it off----how human of us----even though we know that to forgive both others and ourselves is Divine, still, it's so very hard to do...
I shall remember "the ego has the soul by the throat"...
love,
michael
