Would You Do Me the Honor of Being My Archenemy??


No one likes being hated.  People either hate feeling hated and will do anything to change someone else's perception of them, or they don't pay any mind to whether or not they're hated.  The latter are rarely hated because the hater gains nothing from the emotion.  However, being hated is important.  The haters are important.  Being hated often adds to our motivation to be true to ourselves in spite of the hate; to succeed; to ascend.*  A writer much better than myself - Chuck Klosterman - has an entire article on this topic here.  For further reading (which is always tangible, funny, surprisingly intuitive and often related to sports or music) pick up Sex Drugs and Cocoa Puffs immediately.
