Dear Ann • Landers: Your
instant psycho -analysis infuriates
me. The writer who hates his
parents may be justified. 'How
do you know? Don't you realize
hate is healthy? It is real.
What is unhealthyy .is to pretend
that we harbor no ill will.
Anyone who says he haw hate
in his , heart is lying.

--Anonymous
Dear Anon; You want to
hate? O.K.. go ahead. But don't
deceive yourself into thinking
-it's healthy. One ',of the world's
+7' most distinguished psy-chiatrists,
Dr. Frances Braceland of the
Institute- of Living (Harford;
Conn.) describes hatred as "the
beast gnawing on itself —
self -punishment," Walpole said'if
,.he wanted to incapacitate and
bedevil -an ..enemy, ' he would
fasten to him the trouble of
hating' sornelahe. He would then
be trapped in a hell of his own
, making. He would' have no Peace
- ever.
