"背叛和暴力是两头尖的矛; 它们对使用它们的人造成的伤害比对敌人更严重。"
— Emily Bronte
Simplified Meaning:
When someone uses betrayal or violence to hurt others, they end up getting hurt themselves. Think of a spear with sharp points on both ends. If you try to use it, you risk injuring yourself. For example, if a person lies to climb up at work, they might succeed at first. But eventually, their lies catch up to them, and they may lose their job and respect from others. Using dishonest or harmful ways to deal with problems can create bigger troubles for the one who chooses this path. Being fair and honest, even when it’s hard, is usually better in the long run.
