Oftentimes I read failure in a society that produces the "monster" or the bigot rather than lay the blame squarely on the monster or the bigot themselves.I disagree. I think to say that robs a person of their agency. The only choice we have ever is how we react to a given situation. As for the rationale for hatred of people, people are often narrow minded, greedy, shallow and judgemental. All of those are traits worthy of contempt.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
