"They abused me, they hit me!
They beat me, they robbed me!"
For those who bear such a grudge,
hatred is never laid to rest.
"They abused me, they hit me!
They beat me, they robbed me!"
For those who bear no such grudge,
hatred is laid to rest.
For never is hatred
laid to rest by hate,
it's laid to rest by love:
this is an ancient teaching.
When others do not understand,
let us, who do understand this,
restrain ourselves in this regard;
for that is how conflicts are laid to rest.
