#510 On Newton’s Third Law of Hate

For every emotion,
There is an equal and opposite emotion:
This is in the iron law
That governs human interaction

For every angry activist
Every upset demonstrator
Every militant agitator
There is one on the other side of the divide

For every denouncer of evils 
Spewing hate and judgment
Against anyone seen as "different"
   Hate against infidels
   Hate against deviants
   Hate against vagrants
   Hate against immigrants
There is one on the other side of the divide
Who is (secretly) different
Often they are one and the same person

For every hate
There is an equal and opposite shame
Hiding beyond a tattered mask 
Of anger and redirected blame.
