Envy is more irreconcilable than hatred.

Envy is more irreconcilable than hatred.

Summary

This quote suggests that envy is a stronger and more difficult emotion to overcome compared to hatred. It implies that envy, which is a feeling of unhappiness or resentment towards someone else's achievements, possessions, or qualities, is harder to resolve or find a resolution for than hatred, which is a deep feeling of dislike or animosity towards someone. This could be because envy stems from a sense of inadequacy or a desire to have what others possess, making it challenging to find peace or contentment within oneself.
