COMMENTS:
I hope this qualifies... The spelling's a little odd, though... - Hyperion, 2007-09-09: 08:34:00
I've changed the spelling of the word, and refined its meaning. Continuing on the description... Therefore, it means both an unfair fate and a part of life that's bad for you, as well as a feeling of inimicality in relation to the world and frustration with it. Clever, huh? - Hyperion, 2007-09-09: 08:53:00
