Definition:
Malice is the deliberate wish to bring injury, misfortune, or distress to another. It differs from simple anger by its purposeful edge, sharpening thought into intent. The word carries a dark clarity, as though the feeling has settled deeply. Malice may surface in actions or linger quietly in the background, shaping choices with a colder hand. Its presence is unmistakable, even when unspoken.
