Summary

This quote suggests that hidden or often unsaid hatreds are more dangerous and unpredictable than those expressed openly. When hatred is kept concealed, it can fester and gain strength, potentially leading to unexpected and harmful actions. Openly-declared hatred, while still alarming, at least allows for transparency, making it easier to identify and confront. This quote reminds us of the importance of addressing and understanding the underlying tensions in order to mitigate conflicts and prevent their potentially damaging consequences.

Wherever a story comes from, whether it is a familiar myth or a private memory, the retelling exemplifies the making of a connection from one pattern to another: a potential translation in which narrative becomes parable and the once upon a time comes to stand for some renascent truth. This approach applies to all the incidents of everyday life: the phrase in the newspaper, the endearing or infuriating game of a toddler, the misunderstanding at the office. Our species thinks in metaphors and learns through stories.
