Quote by Francois de La Rochefoucauld
When our hatred is violent, it sinks us even beneath those we hate.
Summary
This quote suggests that when we harbor intense feelings of hatred and allow them to manifest violently, it not only keeps us trapped in a negative mindset but also lowers our moral standing even below those we hate. By succumbing to hatred and resorting to violent actions, we degrade ourselves and stray further from compassion and empathy. It serves as a reminder that hatred only leads to a self-destructive path and by rising above it, we can avoid sinking to the level of those we despise.
