“Darkness can only be scattered by light. Hatred can only be conquered by love.”
— Pope John Paul II
Simplified Meaning:
Imagine you are in a dark room and you cannot see anything. When you turn on a light, the darkness goes away, and you can see clearly. This is similar to how love works with hatred. When people have negative feelings like hatred, responding with kindness and love can change their hearts and make the bad feelings disappear. Think about someone who is angry or mean. If you respond to them in an angry way, it often makes the situation worse and they get angrier. But if you show them patience and understanding, it can calm them down and sometimes even change their behavior. This quote is like a suggestion to use positive actions and emotions like love to improve difficult situations and to help make bad feelings go away. Just like light brightens a dark room, love can help make negative feelings disappear.
