Simplified Meaning:

This quote means that when other people act badly or treat us unfairly, we should not respond in the same negative way. Instead of getting angry, shouting, or being mean back, we should stay calm, act with kindness, and be respectful. Imagine you are at school, and a classmate starts spreading rumors about you. It's tempting to spread rumors about them too, but instead, you decide to be polite and focus on your work. By doing this, you show that you are mature and don't let their bad behavior affect you. This approach can often make the other person realize their mistakes and sometimes even stop their negative actions. In life, staying positive and behaving well even when others don’t can help you feel better about yourself and maintain your dignity.
