Summary
This quote suggests that timid individuals tend to release their negative emotions or frustrations on those who are kind or easygoing. Instead of dealing with their own problems directly or confronting the sources of their annoyance, timid people may project their irritable behavior onto others who are less likely to retaliate. This can potentially harm the gentle individuals, who are often more patient and understanding. The quote sheds light on how timid individuals might redirect their negativity, potentially taking advantage of the goodwill of others.
