Spite
noun

verb
: annoy, offend
If you don’t have hope, have spite.
I’m not certain there’s any point in having hope anymore so I’ve decided to live in a sea of pure venomous, joyful spite.
A rattlesnake, if cornered will become so angry it will bite itself. That is exactly what the harboring of hate and resentment against others is – a biting of oneself. We think we are harming others in holding these spites and hates, but the deeper harm is to ourselves.

The lesson here? Let that anger out. Express that shit. Rock it.
This country has gotten where it is in spite of politics, not by the aid of it. That we have carried as much political bunk as we have and still survived shows we are a super nation.
~ Will Rogers
Will said this around 100 years ago. Whether or not the U.S. has ever been a “super nation” for any one of us, has entirely depended on the color of our skin, the contents of our bank account and who our family is and knows. Having said that, it seems rather unlikely that this nation ("super" or not) will survive this current round of political bunk.
Stinky and his sycophants are petty, spiteful, low beasts. The people they can't use, steal from or control, they destroy or try to anyway.
You can feel the stars and the infinity of the sky since life, in spite of everything, is like a dream.
~ Vincent Van Gogh
