I wish that everyone who harboured hate in their hearts and minds lived a mental lifetime as the kind of person they hate, every single night in a sequence of dreams both tedious and terrifying, dreams about the pathetic minutiae of being discriminated against by a host of howling assholes that all wear their own daytime face, until the pain of what they experienced has either made them better, or reduced them to a sleep-deprived and gibbering wreck.
