Bones could look you
straight in the eye,
and truthfully say
“I hate you.”  

Why should he feel
any differently towards you?  
You represent everyone
that’s ever hurt him.

Bones won’t do that.  

That’s not the way Bones
is made up.  

He’s much more likely
to look you in the eye,
and ask.

“Hows about it?”

Bobby

Bobby - glad you clarified Bones, didn't think he was that mean...

Thanks Bill,

No, Bones isn't mean at all.  

He'd most likely be much better off if he was a little meaner.  

Being mean just isn't Bones style.

Bones says hello.

It is hard to put on a smile through so much.  Show character.

Sometimes we have to say things for certain reasons but we can always think whatever we please. I am sure Bones was smart enough to learn that at a young age.

Thanks dear Ida,

Yes, Bones is thinking all the time, that comes with the territory.  He's a slick article.  He’ll say most anything if it works to his advantage.

I will not lie and say I've never hated, but my hatred is for a person's errant actions, and not of his or her fundamental humanity. I suspect that Bones is likewise.

Bones is such a good kind guy considering what he went through, but the way I'm seeing it there're some people that u can't help but hate them, no matter how kind u are, Bones is really strong,

Bones is self made of good stuff....I like people with some sand in them. They have character.

Thanks dear Sarah 45,

Bones doesn't hate anyone.  If he hated all the people that hurt him, he'd be miserable all the time.
