   That would be "fear", which was one of the things you denied.

   That would be "insecurity", which was one of the things you denied.   
   Remember that you are also a member of the same species as the   
   piranha, and the piranhas who seem quite secure in themselves seem to   
   survive quite well in the pool with each other.

   Aggressive and hate-filled, you are. You are at least as nasty a   
   piranha as the ones you hate.
