Summary

This quote highlights the harmful consequences of harboring resentment and grudges. It implies that holding onto anger and seeking revenge is self-destructive, akin to ingesting poison and expecting it to harm the person who has caused the pain. By refusing to forgive and let go, we subject ourselves to the damaging effects of negativity and hinder our own personal growth and happiness. Instead, it suggests the importance of releasing grudges and moving forward for our own well-being.

Marriage has for women many equivalents of joining a mass movement. It offers them a new purpose in life, a new future and a new identity (a new name). The boredom of spinsters and of women who can no longer find joy and fulfillment in marriage stems from an awareness of a barren, spoiled life. By embracing a holy cause and dedicating their energies and substance to its advancement, they find a new life full of purpose and meaning.
