Character: Elias

But why would someone hate? - surprised Pimbi.
He was struck not so much a question as innocent, almost childlike tone with which he was raised. He saw that she was absolutely sincere. Growing unemployment, poverty, xenophobia, the oil crisis, the clash of ideologies... All this could not serve as a convincing answer to her question, so naive and so serious. And he, a hardened skeptic, has long lost faith in everyone and everything, a man who did not trust any Newspapers or television and your own seasoned judgment and a fair share of sarcasm, a staunch pessimist, not nourished any illusions about the bright future of humanity, echoed her:
- Why would someone hate? I also can't understand.
