I hate most people and I'm always angry. Do I really need a specific reason to have for that?
[Maul shrugged. His rage was something he rarely picked apart in an analytical way or felt the need to quantify in any sort of capacity. His anger was something that had started as a child, feeling upset at being mistreated, hurt, and scared by the world. At the time, it was a defense mechanism so that Maul wouldn't feel the pain so acutely.
As an adult, it had evolved to become a survival mechanism, something that had allowed him not to just curl up and die when his life became hard to deal with. This was especially true after his near-death experience at the hands of Obi-Wan. Now it was like an old comfortable friend. Even if he didn't always have a raging fire at his disposal, the embers of it were always glowing brightly.]
