Pity

It is difficult to maintain hatred when the object of your hatred is suffering. Pity makes Mercy come easier than it otherwise might.

When the object of your hatred is diabetic, blind, mostly deaf, and 76 years old it takes a real commitment to hatred to maintain it.

California's governor Arnold Swarzenegger is capable of such hatred.

Clarence Ray Allen

Blessed are the merciless
with hearts as cold as stone.
