ANGER AND CONTEMPT
Dallas Willard in the Divine Conspiracy says that we can trace wrongdoing back to its roots in the human heart. We find that in the overwhelming number of criminal cases it involves some form of anger. Close beside anger we will find its twin brother, contempt. Proverbs 18:3: When wickedness comes, so does contempt.
Minna Antrim: Between flattery and admiration there often flows a river of contempt.
