Fearful Substitution

"Hatred is best combined with Fear. Cowardice, alone of all the vices, is purely painful - horrible to anticipate, horrible to feel, horrible to remember; Hatred has it's pleasures. It is therefore often the COMPENSATION by which a frightened man reimburses himself for the miseries of Fear. The more he fears, the more he will hate."

--C.S. Lewis (Screwtape Letters)
