It is interesting to me how people handle conflict. There seem to be a lot of people who enjoy jabbing away, trying to annoy - and they then run to some "higher power" when they get their rightful reward. In a similar vein, those who cheat, lie, and steal. It seems nobody likes to be held accountable for their actions anymore.

For me, I quite enjoy conflict. Particular in the above situations.

For me, life isn't about being loved by everyone, or even to be hated by everyone. Balance is the key.

I would say that if I had to choose, I would choose to be disliked by everyone equally - not hated. When you dislike something, you tend to like certain aspects of it, but not others.

I've always felt that, if rather than aiming to be liked by everyone politicians instead aimed to be equally disliked by everyone, they would do a much better job and the world would simply work better.

Think about it, if you like a politician and they do something you dislike, chances are you will be quite unhappy with them and will no longer like them. If you simply disliked them, then, what is there to lose? So long as it doesn't cross into hatred, so they keep some balance, that would work better. I also believe it is much more realistic a goal to achieve!

Anyhow, if you choose to annoy me, cheat me, or come after me in any other way - I will simply reflect that back on to you, but far worse. Whether that be making you unable to benefit from fighting, killing you, locking you away, or being far more annoying than you, I will find a way to make things worse for you, than they are for me.

Most loved, therefore most hated
