Quote by Plato

He who commits injustice is ever made more wretched than he who suffers it.

He who commits injustice is ever made more wretched than he

Summary

This quote suggests that those who carry out acts of injustice ultimately suffer more than those who are on the receiving end of it. It implies that the burden of guilt, remorse, and inner turmoil weighs heavily on the perpetrator, leading to a state of misery and unhappiness. In contrast, the person who experiences injustice may find solace in knowing they are not responsible for causing harm. The quote thus highlights the notion that wrongdoers ultimately pay a higher price for their actions, experiencing a profound sense of wretchedness within themselves.
