“Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies”
— Nelson Mandela

Simplified Meaning:
Holding onto anger and bitterness only hurts yourself instead of the person you're upset with. Think of it like this: if you were really mad at someone and decided to drink something harmful, expecting the other person to get sick from it, it wouldn't make sense, right? In real life, when you keep negative feelings inside, it can make you unhappy and stressed. The person you're angry with probably doesn't even know or care, and they're going about their life just fine. Instead of letting these feelings eat you up, it's better to find ways to let go and move on. By doing this, you're taking care of your own well-being and not letting the situation control you.
