Hey, I was just quoting what was in wikipedia for "misanthrope." A word you used for Barry...do you think he has a general hatred of mankind? Yes, we're all in this together, but that's not what misanthrope or misanthropy means.
The Misanthrope, or the Cantankerous Lover (French: Le Misanthrope ou l'Atrabilaire amoureux; French pronunciation: [lə misantʁop u latʁabilɛʁ amuʁø])) is a 17th-century comedy of manners in verse written by Molière. It was first performed on 4 June 1666 at theThéâtre du Palais-Royal, Paris by the King's Players.[1] The play satirizes the hypocrisies of French aristocratic society, but it also engages a more serious tone when pointing out the flaws which all humans possess. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Misanthrope I kind of liked the line as I hear it spoken as from an actor on stage...."refusing them the active vigorous scorn that which vice should stimulate in virtuous minds...." >________________________________ > From: "doctordumb...@rocketmail.com" <doctordumb...@rocketmail.com> >To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com >Sent: Monday, January 7, 2013 2:14 PM >Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: FFL, and the ever dwindling support for T Bee on >here > > > >hatred by virtue of self-righteousness - That's different! :-) I can see those >conclusions about others resulting in a sort of ennui, but hatred?
