“He abused me, he beat me, he defeated me, he robbed me,” —

“He abused me, he beat me, he defeated me, he robbed me,” —
in those who do not harbour such thoughts hatred will cease.
For hatred does not cease by hatred at any time:
hatred ceases by love, this is an old rule.
— Gautama Buddha, Dhammapada, v. 3-5
