Ele (R. Tarfon) costumava dizer: O trabalho não é seu para concluir. [O Santo Bendito seja: Ele não o contratou para completar tudo; nesse caso, você perderia seu salário se não o completasse.] E [para que você diga: (Nesse caso), não vou aprender e Eu não vou ganhar um salário]—você não é livre para se abster disso. [Forçar o jugo sobre você a trabalhar.] Se você aprende muito a Torá, recebe muita recompensa, e Seu Empregador é responsável por pagar por seu trabalho. E saiba que a recompensa para os justos está no mundo vindouro.
Mesilat Yesharim
Thus we learn from here that we are obligated in this matter, and cannot exempt ourselves due to our lack of power. For on all such matters, we learned: "It is not incumbent upon you to complete the task, but neither are you free to abstain from it" (Avot 2:16).

Pele Yoetz
Pele Yoetz – on Sinah - Hatred - Hatred [of others] is hated [by Hash-m] for upon it the Tanna said Rabbi Yehoshua says a bad eye & the evil inclination & hatred of the creatures [of Hash-m], expel a person from the world. (Pirkei Avot 2:11 on Self-Destruction And it causes many sins for hatred awakens quarrels & one falls into the grips of controversy & evil speech & causes one to become happy for the misfortune [of others] & to damage & cause pain & to take vengeance & to spite like a snake [against the other] & many similar evils. And it is written in the holy books – that there is no sin of all the sins like hatred – because every moment one transgresses upon that that is written in the Torah “Do not hate your brother in your heart.” and that that is written “You shall love your fellow as yourself.” & this is the reason why gratuitous hatred destroyed the Holy Temple. And any kind of of hatred is considered 'gratuitous hatred', for any kind of claims that he has [against the other party] to express, are vanity, acts of delusion, like we explained above in the section of 'love of [our] fellows' - see there.
