Simplified Meaning:

Trying to argue or fight with someone who enjoys conflict only leaves you upset and messy, while they have fun. Imagine you are dealing with a person who likes to cause trouble or start arguments for their amusement. When you engage with this person, you end up feeling stressed and dirty from the negative interaction, but they feel happy because they enjoy these chaotic situations. For example, if you have a coworker who likes to criticize and provoke others, arguing with them only fuels their bad behavior while leaving you frustrated. Instead, it’s better to stay calm and avoid getting involved in their games. By keeping your distance and not reacting, you protect your own peace and avoid unnecessary stress.
