Quote by George Eliot
There are some cases in which the sense of injury breeds -- not the will to inflict injuries and climb over them as a ladder, but -- a hatred of all injury.
Summary
This quote suggests that in certain situations, experiencing harm or injustice does not lead to a desire for revenge or reciprocating harm. Instead, it cultivates a profound aversion towards all forms of harm. It implies that there are individuals who, instead of seeking retribution, develop empathy and a strong unwillingness to cause harm themselves. The quote suggests that the capacity for forgiveness and the rejection of perpetuating harm can arise from personal experiences of injury.
