On the Pleasure of Hating - MP3 CD in CD jacket

Description: On the Pleasure of Hating On the Pleasure of Hating WilliamHazlitt "On the Pleasure of Hating" is an essay by William Hazlitt, published in 1826. The essay discusses the human tendency to experience pleasure from feeling hatred or dislike towards others. Hazlitt argues that this emotion is not just negative, but can also provide satisfaction and enjoyment. He provides examples from everyday life and politics, and reflects on the role of hatred in shaping personal and social relationships. In conclusion, Hazlitt suggests that hatred should be tempered with understanding and compassion, to avoid causing harm to others. Some representative quotations: “We grow tired of everything but turning others into ridicule, and congratulating ourselves on their defects.” “We hate old friends: we hate old books: we hate old opinions; and at last we come to hate ourselves.” “Have I not the reason to hate and to despise myself? Indeed I do; and chiefly for not having hated and despised the world enough.” “We cannot read the same works forever. Our honey-moon, even though we wed the Muse, must come to an end; and it is followed by indifference, if not by disgust.” “Even a highwayman, in the way of trade, may blow out your brains, but if he uses foul language at the same time, I should say he was no gentleman.” “I bear the creature no ill-will, but still I hate the very sight of it.” “The pleasure of hating, like a poisonous mineral, eats into the heart of religion, and turns it to rankling spleen and bigotry; it makes patriotism an excuse for carrying fire, pestilence, and famine into other lands: it leaves to virtue nothing but the spirit of censoriousness, and a narrow, jealous, inquisitorial watchfulness over the actions and motives of others.” Play sample: Product Details Read by: Douglas Harvey Length: 37 minutes Type: Solo reading Media: MP3 CD Package: CD jacket Item No.: CJ-5015 UPC/EAN: 0674012595597 List Price: $7.99 Credits Production Book Coordinator: Douglas Harvey Meta Coordinator: Douglas Harvey Proof Listener: Nancy O'Malley Artwork Cover: Portrait of William Hazlitt, derived from an 1825 sketch by William Bewick, 1889 Inset: Frontispiece of “The Plain Speaker: Opinons on Books, Men and Things”, by William Hazlitt, 1870 Inset Self-portrait by William Hazlitt circa 1802 The Recordings About MP3 Audio This MP3 digital audiobook is duplicated on compact disc in the MP3 audio format and is designed to play on any computer.
