Strange Prayer, Boxcar Willy Smiles

I had an instructor in high school who once told the class: "... Sometimes, there are people that you just don't like -- there is no reason, you just don't like them!" I'm sure everybody knows somebody who falls into that catagory, and most of us probably are that person to someone else!
Anyway, drew picture below, and decided the lady was thinking about that subject
I wonder: When someone has a person they dislike for no apparent reason, they probably feel guilty about it, and then if they have to see that person frequently, like on the job or something, would perhaps that guilt turn to a resentment that would keep feeding on itself -- like some Dynamo of Negativity?
A few pics from my neighborhood:

In color, the twisted, rusty fence looks pretty awful; In black & white, it can have a odd beauty
I encountered these fellows as they enjoyed the hospitality of Downtown Chicago. From the example of these fine young gents, we can see that the spirit of Boxcar Willie lives on...
