Hatreds never cease through hatred in this world; through love alone they cease. This is an eternal law. 1.Buddhism. Dhammapada 3-5 You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you salute only your brethren, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? You, therefore, must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.2.Christianity. Matthew 5.43-48 Of the adage, Only a good man knows how to like people, knows how to dislike them, Confucius said, He whose heart is in the smallest degree set upon Goodness will dislike no one.4.Confucianism. Analects 4.3-4 The sage has no fixed [personal] ideas. He regards the peoples ideas as his own. I treat those who are good with goodness, And I also treat those who are not good with goodness. Thus goodness is attained.7.Taoism. Tao Te Ching 49 It may be that God will ordain love between you and those whom you hold as enemies. For God has power over all things; and God is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.8.Islam. Quran 60.7 Aid an enemy before you aid a friend, to subdue hatred.9.Judaism. Tosefta, Baba Metzia 2.26 Looks like many religions agree on the fact that love conquers evil. please love because its the most precious gift that God has given us.
