Peter Kreeft Quote
But a sneer can be a greater crime than a murder subjectively, for a sneer means You are beneath contempt, you are sub-human, you are worthless scum, you are not even worth taking the trouble and time to kill, while a murder may mean You are important and formidable and you are my enemy, and thus I must kill you. That can be a compliment, compared to a sneer.
