“It is not possible to build on negative emotions. Genuine literature will come only when we replace hatred for man with love for him”
— Fyodor Dostoevsky

Simplified Meaning:
When we try to create something meaningful, like writing a book or building a strong relationship, starting with negative feelings like hate doesn't work. Think of it like planting a garden: if you use bad soil, the plants won't grow well. Instead, using good soil helps the plants thrive. In the same way, if we replace bad feelings toward people with good ones, we can create much better and more genuine things. For example, a story written with love and understanding will touch people's hearts more deeply than one written out of anger or resentment. By focusing on positive emotions, we build a much stronger and more beautiful world around us.
