To Hate or to Ignore?

A thought provoking incident happened today. A person who was bitter with the world asked me”Which is the worst form of insult? Is it Hatred or to Ignore?”After a long time my brain assuming that I have one got stimulated. I replied”Ignoring is the worst form of insult when compared to hatred. When you hate someone you only go through the agonising negative experience of hatred within yourself while the other man whom you hate is blissful. But when you ignore someone it is the other man who goes through the negative agonising experience of being ignored while you will enjoy the positive experience of ignoring someone.”. After my reply that person was seeing stars in daylight and I left the place giving him an opportunity to chew the cud and in a similar vein I  will take leave of you.to introspect on this thought.Good night 🙏
