“Hatred is never appeased by hatred in this world. By non-hatred alone is hatred appeased. This is a law eternal.”
— Buddha

Simplified Meaning:
When people respond to hate with more hate, it only keeps the cycle of anger and resentment going. For example, if someone insults you and you insult them back, it usually doesn’t solve anything. Instead, both sides end up feeling hurt and angry, and the conflict continues. However, if you respond to hate with patience, kindness, or understanding, it can help to calm the situation. Imagine a firefighter putting out a fire; they use water, not more fire, to stop it. Similarly, using kindness instead of hate can help end the cycle of negativity. Applying this in life means trying to stay calm and respond with compassion, even when others are mean or unfair.
