I said "both idioms".
You also don't mention the bulk of my post... both idioms are used
in contexts in which fear of retribution is unrealistic, eg within a
marriage, father to son, etc...
It's about avoiding hatred because hatred is something to be avoided,
and pursuing peace because peace is a primary value.
Tir'u baTov!
