The Ten Fetters: #5, Hatred, Poison in the Heart

"War. Ugh. What is it good for? Absolutely Nothing!" Then why is it such a constant? Can we ever be free of the violence born of hatred?

Fetter five, hatred / ill-will (vyāpāda).

"Hatred never ceased by hatred.

By love alone does hatred cease.

This is an ancient and eternal law."

(Dhp 5)
