"Benevolence subdues its opposite just as water subdues fire." Evaluate this claim.?

Benevolence aims at yielding the utmost good onto others and this claim is sometimes not acceptable to others. You can offer to be good to someone but if the recipient does not welcome the notion, malevolence then takes the stage. But only a minority amount of people would not embrace benevolence as it does not portray ill will to most people. So in most instances, Benevolence malevolence but not always.
