About This Quote

This quote, by the great poet Pablo Neruda, is an example of the Buddhist concept of "mindfulness." Mindfulness is often described as being "in the moment" and being aware of what's happening in your life at any given moment. This quote is about how to deal with hateful people who are constantly shouting out their hatred for anyone who enters their territory. You can take solace in the fact that you are not responsible for the hate they have for you. You don't have to answer their anger, but instead, you can let them vent it out. You can be aware of them without engaging or reacting to their hatred.
