Hatred Never Dispels Hate

"Look how he abused me and beat me,
Look how he threw me down and robbed me."
Live with such thoughts and you live in hate.

"Look how he abused me and beat me,
How he threw me down and robbed me."
Abandon such thoughts and live in love

In this world
Hate never yet dispelled hate
Only love dispells hate
This is the law,
Ancient and inexhaustible
You too shall pass away
Knowing this, how can you quarrel?

--From the Dhammapada
