Definition of Hatred

What defines hate?
Imagine yourself driving.
Imagine yourself doing 55mph on NSL road.
Imagine you are driving towards a roundabout at the end of the dual carriage way.
Imagine yourself in a car behind this Pasat or whatever the car you can think of, which start spinning right into your direction.
Imagine you are now slowing down at the speed of 35mph but are in very dangerous position.
Imagine yourself quickly see a way out of this by turning your wheel to hard-left.
Imagine yourself getting out of the car on car crush by the narrowest chance, only to face a pedestrian walking right on the edge of the roundabout.
Imagine yourself noticing the person in front of you is your ex.
Imagine yourself having a choice of braking even harder, or,
imagine yourself calculating the distance to the person and think of yourself to be in the safe.
Imagine yourself intentionally NOT braking.

Now, that's hatred.

Thought on AA

Just when AA splashes out "Oh-we-don't-know-how-much-more-we-can-show-off-how-much-money-we-make" TV ads all over the TV, terrestrial or otherwise, AA brings in brand new vans and starts confusing us. I mean, they must have spent handsome gazillions making those ads, and now they are non usable because they got vans with old checker flag designs on them. They really must be super loaded.
 
I once drove an AA van, without having license. It was scary as hell, as you cannot use the room mirror to manoeuvre, and it was huge and it took a lot to pump a little gas, let alone that I had no valid driving license. It was under an inevitable circumstance, and, obviously, the AA guy did not know that my licence was temporarily evoked due to the transfer, but nonetheless I was sxxtting.
 
AA guys can be very mean and horrible. I never use them again. Driving motorways day and night I know RAC is more popular and densely spread in wide area. I know some local rescues are reliable and cheap. But still, none meets the name and legend of AA. They came up with first motorway rescue, and the emergency phone network. They are like pages from history text book.
