I think that what contributes to this is how a person can get in the habit of letting their emotions rule their life. Often the result is a person that may be functioning based on their childhood emotions instead of learning to progress and manage their emotions as an adult. This is something you tend to allude to eskie when you talk about how one must learn that how they managed things as a child doesn’t really work in the adult world.

If a person invests a lot of time pointing out things they don’t like about another person and insists on having another person say “yes it’s awful and I am angry for you” often what that results in is just fueling anger and even worse “hate”. This can actually be dangerous in that building up hate can lead to acting out and harming someone else or self. Hate brings about the motivation to eliminate. We all know where that can lead when we recall Hitler and how he decided all Jews were bad and wanted them to be eliminated. This started out as a personal anger about rejection in Hitler and it ended up costing many lives. It was a true HORROR. A warning sign is a desire to gather others to act out based on hate.

The true Evil is how anger turns into hate that fuels the desire to eliminate. That is what Hitler’s rein was all about. Hitler was a very mentally disturbed human being. And eskie he still managed to have many followers. That is the scary part.
