...Hrrrm still not good enough. You really have to imagine yourself in Jacques' shoes. Work on the assumption that he's a real person and not just a fictional character made to serve the plot.

What reason would a person have to behave the way that he does? Handwaving it away as, "rich white men are just greedy," doesn't cut it. It doesn't explain where the greed came from or what purpose it serves to the man's life. Was he born greedy? If so, how come you weren't born greedy?

Remember that physiologically there's no signifigant difference between you and him whatsoever, so in principle if you were born under the right circumstances you could have become exactly like him. What makes you so much different from him in the first place?

Really go into it. I invite everyone here to do this.

Not because I really care about Jacques or getting people to sympathize with him, even if I may seem to have done so in the past, but because I believe there's something here a lot of people are missing that cannot be conveyed to them outside of personal investigation in a way that won't be dismissed out of hand.

If you hate Jacques, really examine that hatred. What is so terrible about him? Where did these feelings come from? If you were him, would you hate yourself?

Don't try to justify or dismiss them. Just look without judgement.

Many people here seem to be repressing this answers. If you find them, you will be able to awaken vast reserves of psychic energy within yourselves.

This is not a bid to scrutinize and talk down to people. I'm simply offering another way of looking at things to those that are interested. It is not for the faint of heart.
