The Lemon Drop Kid

by Josh Lanyon

Anger is great. Anger gives you energy and drive and direction. But hatred is empty, bottomless. Sure, it can give energy, drive, focus, but it always leads to a standstill. Nothing you do appeases it. Nothing is enough to stop it, soothe it, quiet it. It’s there eating at you all the time, like an idling engine draining you dry.
