7. It has been a long time since Ive hated my fellow citizens

I was the prototypical angry young man in the 70’s. I had hatred in my heart and was always angry and ready to fight.

Now I’m angry again and feel a burning hatred for these people.

I cycle between hope and despair.

I hope you are right.
