Do you hate someone?

heatspine @heatspine (1141) • Philippines 13 Mar 07

halfserious It is human nature to hate others. It's part of the survival instinct. You can't go around hating all the time because it will consume you, but there is a time and place for it.

halfserious I turn off my phone before I sit down to eat. I turn it back on when I am done. Prevention is the best medicine. ;) Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

Where was Ansh in modern day Latvia, or Estonia?
