"De los deseos más profundos a menudo proviene el odio más mortal."
— Socrates
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, the things we want the most can lead to intense feelings of hate if we can't have them. For example, imagine a person who really wants a promotion at work. If someone else gets that promotion, the person might feel very jealous and even start to dislike the one who got it. This strong feeling of wanting something badly can sometimes turn into anger or hatred when things don't go our way. In history, wars have often started because powerful leaders desired more land or resources, and their unmet desires sparked deadly conflicts. To avoid such negative feelings, it's important to manage our desires and not let them control us. Recognizing and balancing our emotions can help maintain peace and harmony in our lives and relationships.
