The Diet Coke of Evil
Evil Pundit gets emotional about the politics of hate.
It's difficult, if not impossible, to feel more than one emotion intensely at a time. If you're feeling anger or hatred, you're not feeling love or happiness.Some good advice. Maybe he's not really that evil after all...
Therefore, the more time you spend hating, the less time you have for being happy.
I learned this from experience, having started out as a political hater. I haven't completely kicked the habit yet, but I recognise its pitfalls.
Political campaigns driven by hatred...have not only proved themselves ineffective in practice, but are also harmful to the mental well-being of the campaigners.
