About this Quote

This quote by Tacitus talks to the human propensity to harbor bitterness and displeasure towards those we have wronged. It recommends that when we injured somebody, we frequently feel a sense of guilt or regret, and this can lead to us establishing a dislike or hatred for the individual we have actually hurt. This is since we might feel that we have actually mistreated them and that they may be validated in feeling angry or resentful towards us. Additionally, we may feel that they are now in a position of power over us, and this can lead to sensations of insecurity and fear. Eventually, this quote talks to the complexity of human emotions and how our actions can have an enduring effect on our relationships.
