The Ending of Hate

"He abused me, attacked me,
       Defeated me, robbed me!"
For those carrying on like this,
       Hatred does not end.

"He abused me, attacked me,
       Defeated me, robbed me!"
For those not carrying on like this,
       Hatred ends.

Hatred never ends through hatred.
       By non-hate alone does it end.
       This is an ancient truth.

---The Buddha---
