Anguis In Herba

In latin, Anguis In Herba translates as "a snake in the grass".

Funny how so many people are hypocrites. They smile to one's face and visit one's house. They belong to one's circle of friends yet they spill lies and slander when one is not present. The nerve? No. Not nerve, but cowardice. Nothing but spineless rumor-monging. Should one face them, they will deny and decry one as the offender. Should they be backed into a corner, finding themselves lacking a means of escape or of refutal, they turn violent - that is, should they have any bravado left to stand up to the object of their lies - and bitter. Venomous. But unlike a snake - a much maligned creature - they do not attack only when threatened or tread upon. No. They are scum and know it. Therefore they seek to corrode the bases of all around them for no other purpose than to debase them. One has no need for such worthless beings. One should cast them away; banish them from one's presence. Call them out for their lies and have them flee. Or should they stand and dispute, behead their egos and maim their bodies. How else to deal with such scurge?

One must rid oneself of unhealthy ties. One must rid one's loved ones of unhealthy ties. One must behead all monsters. If the creator gave us the tools, why not employ them?
