Summary

This quote is a metaphorical way of describing the negative effects of harboring unforgiveness towards someone. It emphasizes that holding onto anger and resentment only harms oneself, rather than the intended target of our bitterness. Just like ingesting poison will inevitably cause harm to one's own body, refusing to forgive someone and holding onto those negative emotions ultimately brings suffering and misery. It highlights the importance of forgiveness as a way to free ourselves from the burden of resentment and find peace and emotional well-being.
