#hiddenviolence

Someone for whom the light of others is so unbearable that they must mock it, distort it, or destroy it, does not speak from humanity and kindness but from a pain that has found no language – and so erupts into attack.

Those who repeatedly initiate and wage wars behind the mask of vulnerability, who wound, pursue, exclude, and insult others, do not reveal strength – but the powerlessness to bear their own darkness.
