Summary

This quote suggests that retribution is a self-inflicted consequence of our actions towards others. When seeking revenge or wanting someone to suffer for the harm they caused us, we may unknowingly bring similar suffering upon ourselves in the long run. It highlights the cyclic nature of negative actions and their impact on individual well-being. In essence, if we choose to retaliate, we may inevitably end up experiencing the same pain or negativity that we once wished upon others.
