The poison in the soup

What the extremists do not seem to understand is that hate destroys the hater. The poisin of the emotion of hate eats a person from the inside destroying anything that might be left of his soul and turning him into a deamon of the most dispicable kind completely devoid of anything even remotely resembling humanity. Hate leads to insanity and to unresonnable fear, a paranoid psychosis which gives rise to extremes of suspicion and mistrust which often give rise to the most aberrant of behaviors including wanton murder even of ones own kind.
