Permit Me to Introduce Hatred Into the Mix


This little guy is ferocious.  He lives inside my gut and is empowered by a neurological complex that is primarily concerned with hanging on to old hatred.  He even hates himself.  This photo, which captures a rare glimpse into his angry visage, is an unusually fitting image for the invisible predator.  And he's very clever.  He devours from within the gut of his host.  He's a goddamn killer.

I wonder what evolutionary maxim compels his attendance in the human psyche.  It could be as simple as prevention of foolish mercy being doled out to recidivists.
