The fire you kindle for your enemy often burns yourself more than him.


The fire you kindle for your enemy often burns yourself more

Summary

This quote is cautioning against seeking vengeance or harboring hatred towards an enemy. It suggests that the effort put into harming or seeking retribution against an adversary can actually end up doing more harm to oneself. By allowing anger and resentment to consume us, we may unintentionally damage our own well-being, happiness, and peace of mind. Therefore, it advises against prolonging conflicts or engaging in harmful acts, as they can ultimately have greater negative consequences for ourselves than for our enemies.
