A Heart Never Created Hatred
Some human problems apparently haven't changed much in four thousand years.
This ancient Sumerian proverb makes a remarkably sharp distinction between what we feel and what we choose to say:
“A heart never created hatred; speech created hatred.”
Preserved among the Sumerian proverb collections, the thought feels strikingly familiar even thousands of years later. Words have consequences, and the Sumerians apparently understood that long before anybody had a comment section.
Sumerian transliteration:
šà-ge šà-hul-gig nu-ub-tu-ud
dug₄-ge šà-hul-gig íb-tu-ud
English translation:
“A heart never created hatred; speech created hatred.”
