When I weigh out emotion in my head, hate feels like huge blocks of marble -- huge polished monoliths of marble falling onto scales. Ironically, weighing out joy seem like an eye-dropper being measured out from an Earlenmeyer beaker.
Hate seems so much more utilitarian and useful than joy when visualized that way. Yet I savor and relish the moments of happiness when it comes in such small doses.
