Hate is a powerful force for good.

It seems we don’t even hate enough; we don’t hate the willful destruction of the Earth. All we do is wring our hands in despair. We don’t hate genocide. All we do is bemoan our helplessness. We don’t hate ignorance. All we do is wallow in depravity.

Neither do we love our brilliance or our compassion. Neither do we celebrate our endeavours to create things greater than the sum of our collective ingenuity. Neither do we love our magnificence or our drive for survival.

We are Gorm ~ uninspired, disaffected, indifferent, alone, dormant.
