Read this excerpt from The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling.

"Good!" said Mowgli, staring around slowly, and thrusting out his lower lip. "I see that ye are dogs. I go from you to my own people – if they be my own people. The jungle is shut to me, and I must forget your talk and your companionship; but I will be more merciful than ye are. Because I was all but your brother in blood, I promise that when I am a man among men I will not betray ye to men as ye have betrayed me."


Which line from "If" shares a similar theme?


Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,

With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,

If you can dream – and not make dreams your master;

Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!”

The line from If that shares a similar theme is Or being hated, don’t give way to hating.

Mowgli expresses a feeling where even when he has felt rejected by the ones who were his family so far he doesn't allow himself to grown negative feelings towards them, he grows instead respect and loyalty in despite they are no longer a community.

The other options are not possible since they're not talking about that feeling, they have other kinds of approaches.
