Meaning
This reads as advice against letting resentment become a private prison. It suggests that revenge is best understood not as retaliation, but as refusing to hand over your peace of mind, and choosing happiness as a form of release. It lands after a hurtful conflict, when the harder task is to stop replaying it and move on.
