Thank you for a wonderful study. It really made me think. As English is not my native language, I was reading and translating your article untill the word contempt. I knew what it meant, but could not find the right word for it in my own language. Google translate came up with the translation: minachting. Achting means respect in way that you look up to someone, coming from the heart, not because you have to. Min is a negative word, meaning contempt is the opposite of looking up to some one with respect. Amazing that God loves us so much we can cry out to Him even without looking up to Him.

Excellent study! I’m thinking this word could be used for what we’re seeing in the world right now!

That's incredible, Diane. I thoroughly appreciate the depth in this article. I feel like I now have a valid place for some strong emotions and a better name for them.
