Summary

This quote, often attributed to Mahatma Gandhi, suggests that seeking revenge or retaliation for harm done only perpetuates a cycle of harm and destruction. It implies that if everyone seeks vengeance in response to wrongs committed against them, it will ultimately result in everyone suffering and nobody finding resolution or peace. Instead, the quote encourages individuals to adopt a more compassionate and forgiving approach, breaking the cycle of violence and promoting understanding and reconciliation.
