You’ve always been a Johnny-come-lately, ciccio.

They hate Daphne because, no matter how much they deride her, deep down they wish they were more like her.

I meant “those”, not “does” …

The truth hurts does with a massive chip on their shoulder, which they have never been able to rid themselves of, no matter what “status” or material trappings they deem to have acquired; the truth hurts those who have lived a false life, putting on what they deem to be an acceptable front to those they try hard to emulate (yet never truly manage to do so), and whom they inwardly resent.

People like that strive to impress, are never truly happy with themselves and never will be happy, forever striving to be something they can never be, until one day, in a moment of anger or pent-up frustration, all is let loose, and the true “hdura”, “lanzit” and bile come flowing freely out, for the enjoyment – or otherwise – of those witnessing such an ugly (in every sense of the word) spectacle. People like that truly deserve each other.

Methinks the voice of experience.

I loved it too. I will never see a pig in the same light again, and from now on pigs will always remind me of Salvu Balzan.

They hate Daphne because they hate the truth.

And truth hurts those who will deny it.

They hate truth because privately, they hate their own past.

They would love to have just one sentence written by Daphne which will praise their leader, their party or one of their policies. They would quote it and use it until kingdom comes.

They don’t have any balls.

Then the little that does, although easily wiped away, is hugely exaggerated. The result: the insultee wins the public sympathy over the insulter, irrespective of who’s right.
