Summary
This quote suggests that animosity between family members is the most intense and fierce form of hatred. It implies that the bonds of kinship can sometimes breed the strongest and most brutal conflicts, surpassing other types of animosity. This may be due to the closeness, familiarity, and shared history that exists within a family, leading to deeper emotional connections that can be easily strained and ruptured, resulting in heightened levels of animosity and conflict.
