I don’t have much else to say about this man. I don’t hate him, and I’d like to say I never did. I don’t quite pity him, either. The opposite of love isn’t hate, it’s indifference. I think the best legacy we could all leave for the man is a clear message that no one cares about him.
He must have led a miserable life, but I have no way of knowing that. I can only apply my own ideas about what constitutes happiness and fulfillment. If he derived joy out of the life he led, then the world is probably a better place without him.
