Just a taste of what was.

Anger and Hate are emotions to hold if you are inclined to withold human compassion or forgiveness. Hate is an ugly, ugly emotion. It is both electrifying and yet draining. You feel both paradoxically alive and dead.

Hate is empowering. It empowers her when she is faced with a father at moments like these.

who sired her. It was a genetic accident, this conception. The events leading up to then and the maintainence of things such that she was brought into the world: was termed in her latter years most aptly as the : 'immaculate, elaborate facade'.

It is however an empty empowerment and she acknowledges this. It does not build character, or add grace or definition to strength. But it can bend a person, who would succumb to it, to commit grave and heinous things.

And when it is all too late, too much has been lost. Including that of our myths of self-integrity, dignity,---and humanity.
