Simplified Meaning:

When your hand is tightly closed into a fist, it’s impossible to reach out and greet someone. This idea means that when you’re full of anger or holding onto negative feelings, it's really hard to make peace with others or resolve conflicts. Think about two friends who had a big fight. If both of them stay mad and refuse to calm down, they won’t be able to fix their friendship. For things to get better, they need to let go of their anger and be willing to talk it out calmly. This advice is useful in any argument or disagreement – being open and willing to listen is the first step towards finding a solution. It encourages letting go of negativity to build connections with others.
