"El hombre sano no tortura a otros generalmente son los torturados quienes se convierten en torturadores"

Simplified Meaning:

When someone is happy and feeling good about themselves, they usually don't hurt others. But when a person has gone through a lot of pain or suffering, they might start to hurt others too. Think about a bully at school. Often, bullies might have troubles at home or have been bullied themselves. Because they are hurting inside, they take it out on others to make themselves feel stronger or in control. This idea can also be applied to adults; someone who has been hurt in the past might be mean or aggressive because of their own pain. The advice here is to try to understand why someone might be acting badly. Instead of just seeing them as mean, think about what might have happened to them and show compassion. Understanding this can help people break the cycle of hurt and make the world kinder.
