The title translates into English as: "People don't flow together as though water."
Some things just don't register to me like fame, infamy, notoriety... these things are subjective to each individual. You can only like or hate a person by actions they did to you personally. Israel, Hitler, Ukraine, Nigeria, Zambia... all these people/lands did nothing to me, there is no sensible reason for me to hate them.
If you mention that the sole reason the foreign minority groups in South Africa exist is to undermine & ultimately destroy everything indigenous in South Africa, there's now a reason to hate people you don't know. When individuals are concerned, it's up to you to decide your friend or foe... preferably on face-to-face experience which requires spending time with strangers, that time is a luxury many people don't have & getting to know strangers outside school or work is something not many people need to do. Yeah, two seemingly contradictory but not directly opposing statements can be true at the same time.
Just like every cobra is different & has varying behaviours towards humans, you're not going to go around every cobra seeing which individual cobra is dangerous & which one isn't as dangerous. Not many people have that luxury of time or that lust for danger. Whereas, while not every bear is dangerous, a large population of them are, so if given the chance, it's better to see which is dangerous & which one isn't by observing their behaviour from a distance & not face-to-face interactions. Hate & approval are again subjective to each human individual. We won't all hate or like the same things whether it be in wars or personal preference. Unless the subject concerns the nation, we remain separate individuals. Some enjoy being in large groups of people, some enjoy smaller groups; some like football, some like basketball; some like apples, some like oranges more - behaviour shouldn't be forced.
