Hatred is a poison served in three cups

[Tom Dietvorst]

Hatred is a poison served in three cups. The first is when people despise those they desire — because they want to have them in their possession. It’s all out of hubris! The second is when people loathe those they do not understand. It’s all out of fear! Then there is the third kind — when people hate those they have hurt. (Elif Shafak)
