Summary

This quote suggests that it is often easier and more powerful for individuals to feel hatred towards their enemies, rather than love towards their friends. However, it also highlights that when people are more focused on causing harm to their opponents rather than making a positive impact on society as a whole, it is unlikely that any significant good will come from their actions. In essence, the quote emphasizes the importance of prioritizing kindness, empathy, and genuine care for others, rather than harboring hatred and seeking personal gain at the expense of others.
