Never here by enmity
are those with enmity allayed,
they are allayed by amity,
this is the timeless Truth.
-Dhammapada Verse 5

But, ancient wisdom has advocated a different timeless strategy to overcome hatred. This eternal wisdom is to meet hatred with non-hatred. The method is of overcoming hatred through non-hatred is eternally effective. That is why that method is described as eternal wisdom.
