Spite is like when you have a toy, and someone accidentally bumps into you and knocks it over. Instead of just picking it up and moving on, you decide to knock over their toy on purpose. The feeling that makes you want to do that is called spite. It’s like a little grumpy monster inside your heart that says, “If I can’t be happy, you can’t be happy either!”
Imagine you have a cookie, and your friend accidentally eats it. Instead of forgiving them, you take their cookie just to make them feel bad. Spite is that naughty feeling that makes you want to get back at someone, even if it doesn’t really make things better. It’s like when you pinch someone because they pinched you first. It might feel fair, but it doesn’t make the hurt go away.
Think of spite as a storm cloud inside your mind. It can make you feel upset and want to make others upset too. But just like a storm, it can pass if you choose to be kind and let it go. Choosing kindness is like letting the sunshine come back after the storm.
