Progress in human relationships, Mazzon style:
Today I realized I had moved from disliking a person to hating him. I found
that I no longer just wanted his absence and to not hear his voice.
I have reached the point where his being gone is not enough, I want to hurt
him. Silence his bloody annoying voice with violence. Maybe feel the
temperature of his blood, maybe kill him.
I won't, of course. I'm a nice person and not a violent one. I'm not even
going to taunt him. But I still hate him like burning.
