There are some people who moan their socks off about the Daily Mail, especially one guy who always shoves it in the bin if he comes across a copy @ his workplace. But, paradoxically, his pet hate seems to be making a positive contribution to his life.
It gives him the Joy of Outrage when he scans a copy and sees lots of views which oppose his own and a Glow of Virtue when he rejects them. He also experiences the Guilty Pleasure of Censorship when he creates a safe space for weaker-minded colleagues and thrust the offending newspaper into the bin.
Why did God create the Devil? To let some people feel self-righteous all over when they resist the Devil’s influence. Why did God create the Daily Mail? For much the same reason, it would appear!
