47. not that big a difference

Mon Nov 21, 2016, 03:29 PM

anger can be converted to hate without even the need of the new Hatetronics converter model 7734MV although those are pretty sweet, and I love that it comes in red and costs less than $200 at Target.

Speaking of targets though, anger looks a lot like hate when it is expelled at somebody or just gets thrown out there.

You suggest not keeping inside because it will hurt you. So instead you let it out where it can hurt others and cause more anger in them, which they let out and hurt others. That is like a game of pass it on. "The world is full of anger and hatred, pass it on."
