Summary

This quote suggests that hatred is a form of self-inflicted suffering. When someone harbors hatred towards another person or group, they are ultimately hurting themselves. It implies that those who choose to hate are actually cowards seeking a way to retaliate against those who intimidate them. Instead of addressing the source of intimidation directly or dealing with their fears, they choose the easier path of harboring hatred. Ultimately, this quote implies that hatred serves no purpose other than perpetuating personal anguish and reinforcing one's own weaknesses.
