Bravo, great post. And, yes, I agree with you. 'Hate' over electronic stuff that, yes, is lovely and costs an obscene amount of money.....is ludicrous. Instead, reserve 'hate' for stuff that really matters.....
When I was a teenager, an astonishing degree of 'hate' was reserved for certain types of music, and, by extension, at their fans. These days, I shrug. Some of the time. But not all.....
Actually, a certain corrupt former Prime Minister of ours (condemned by the High Court for perjury and for having been on the take for most of his time in public life.....actually two, corrupt former Prime Ministers of ours, one of whom was the protégé of the other) ..have been objects of something approaching hate.
And, when I tell myself that I am now a fully functioning rational being......able to turn the other cheek....and refusing to rise to mild temptation, sometimes, all it takes is Kevin Costner, (whom I detest....) or someone similar.....and yes, smoke emerges from my nostrils.....and it's not caused by nicotine because that is a vice I don't have....
How ridiculous and irrational it all is......
