“Hate is just as injurious to the hater as it is to the hated.”
— Martin Luther King Jr.
Simplified Meaning:
When you hold negative feelings like hate towards someone, it ends up hurting you as much as it hurts the other person. Think of it like carrying a heavy backpack full of anger and resentment; it's a burden that slows you down and makes you miserable. For example, if someone at work did something to upset you, and you keep thinking about how much you dislike them, you'll feel stressed and unhappy. It's like drinking poison and expecting the other person to get sick. Letting go of hate can free you from this emotional pain. Instead, try to focus on positive feelings and actions that bring peace and happiness to your life.
