Fireworks

I LOVE fireworks!!!!

Behold the Misanthrope!

You used a word incorrectly.

Misanthropy is the general hatred, dislike, or distrust of the human species, human behavior, or human nature. A misanthrope or misanthropist is someone who holds such views or feelings.

Let's look at your behavior and see if the word was used incorrectly. Several individuals express concern for their beloved animals because of the fireworks. You respond with a taunting, "I LOVE fireworks!!!!" with not one, not two, not three, but four exclamation points and a jeering emoji.

Our host shows genuine pain and heartbreak from the wanton paving of Paradise and your response is a poisonous, "I LOVE Cement," this time without the exclamation points but still with a scoffing emoji.

If not a misanthrope, then what do you call yourself, Sir? A bully who delights in rubbing salt into someone's wounds? A bitter individual who wants others to be as miserable as they are? Or just someone filled with hatred toward anyone who doesn't see the world as they see it? Personally, I would really like to know because I can simply not understand what motivates someone like you.

Time Magazine has their Person of the Year award. For the year 2000, they wanted to name a Person of the Century. Time set this criteria and asked their readers to submit their choice of the Person of the Century:

Name the person who for better or for worse ... has done the most to influence the events of the 20th Century.

The quickly realized that they had worded their criteria very badly. The top two vote getters were Adolf Hitler and Mahatma Gandhi. In the end, Time punted and named Albert Einstein as he, "represented ... the ... century the most." Personally, I thought the voters nailed it. These two people were indeed the two individuals who had the strongest influence on the events for the 20th Century. Hitler was almost personally responsible for causing the deaths of some 70 million people. Gandhi was almost personally responsible for preventing the deaths of possibly 70 million or more people. The Sinner and the Saint. I think I understand what motivates the Saint in all of us. I can not for the life of me understand what motivates the Sinner in all of us. The thought of intentionally inflicting harm to another repulses me.

So, Mr. Midalake, what motivates you? Why are you so much like a misanthrope or whatever you would call yourself?

Nice, lots of words that mean nothing. Sounds like an apology or an apologist.

You like words? Me too. So, what is it going to be tribalist? Are you going to keep speaking when not spoken to? Or is "victorio" another sign-on name for you?

Tribalism> Tribalism is the state of being organized by, or advocating for, tribes or tribal lifestyles.

PS> I LOVE fireworks!
