2.3.13. Hostility Tirukural 851 Hostility disunions plague will bring, That evil quality, to every living thing. The disease which fosters the evil of disunion among all creatures is termed hatred by the wise. 852 Though men disunion plan, and do thee much despite Tis best no enmity to plan, nor evil deeds requite. Though disagreeable things may be done from (a feeling of) disunion, it is far better that nothing painful be done from (that of) hatred. 853 If enmity, that grievous plague, you shun, Endless undying praises shall be won. To rid one-self of the distressing dtsease of hatred will bestow (on one) a never-decreasing imperishable fame. 854 Joy of joys abundant grows, When malice dies that woe of woes. If hatred which is the greatest misery is destroyed, it will yield the greatest delight. 855 If men from enmity can keep their spirits free, Who over them shall gain the victory? Who indeed would think of conquering those who naturally shrink back from hatred ?
