A lot of people have told me to let go of grudges
I deeply disagree
Love & Fury are fuels, as Jony Ive would say
Loving humanity & hating humans is a totally coherent world view
You can feel a deep appreciation for the species
AND
A deep derision for individuals who wrong you
BUT
You must choose your enemies carefully
I think a good test is this:
Who would you haunt?
If you died today, who would you torment *tonight*
If the answer is nobody, you have lived a peaceful (and probably dull) life
If the answer fills a page, you have lived a brutal (and probably evil) life
If the answer is a few individuals of repute, you have lived a powerful (and probably interesting) life
So, think carefully about your enemies, if you would haunt them
If not, let them go
Like ghosts in the fog
