Kural 881<\/p>\n
Even shade and water are unpleasant if they breed disease.
\nSo, too, may relatives be unpleasant if they cause harm.
\nKural 882<\/p>\n
Fear not the foe who is like a drawn sword;
\nrather fear the friendship of an enemy who poses as kin.
\nKural 883<\/p>\n
Dread hatred from within and defend yourself against it.
\nIn calamitous times it will cut deeper than a potter’s knife.
\nKural 884<\/p>\n
Hidden hatreds may lurk only in the mind,
\nyet among kin they can manifest many miseries.
\nKural 885<\/p>\n
Hate hidden in a kinsman’s heart will cause
\nmany miseries, and more–it will kill a man.
\nKural 886<\/p>\n
When hatred arises, dissension destroys unity,
\nand men fall inescapably toward ever-ready death.
\nKural 887<\/p>\n
A house that harbors hatred will never be a united whole,
\nthough, like a vessel and its lid, it may appear to be one.
\nKural 888<\/p>\n
As iron is worn away by frequent filing,
\na family’s strength is eroded by incessant inner frictions.
\nKural 889<\/p>\n
Internal dissension may seem as small as a split sesame seed,
\nyet there is enough power in it to destroy.
\nKural 890<\/p>\n
Living with those who cannot dwell in harmony
\nis like living in a hut with a deadly cobra.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
