Contempt is just the first step to hatred.

Contempt starts with a lie to yourself – an over-expectation.

Contempt blossoms when you cannot believe your own lie.

Contempt starts as expression and matures with anger.

Some of us experience tragedy.

Most of us survive it – at a cost.

Some of us break our minds.

Some of us break our hearts.

Some of us break our souls.

Some of us break all three.

Some of us compensate with exaggerated love

Some of us compensate with exaggerated acceptance

Some of us compensate with exaggerated discipline.

Some of us compensate with exaggerated disdain.

It is a mistake to over-invest in fixing broken people

Unless they are willing to over-invest in fixing broken others too.
