How to use "Spite" in context?
There's a reason why spite is regarded as a dark emotion and why it's often used to hurt or manipulate people. Spite is a feeling of anger and envy mixed with a sense of revenge. It's a powerful emotion that can easily be manipulated, because it can be used to hurt or anger someone else. People often spite each other because they hope that the other person will feel bad and act in a way that's harmful to them. Spite can also be used to punish someone who has done something that you don't like. When these things happen in the context of a relationship, they can lead to hurt and mistrust.
