The yoke a man creates for himself by wrong-doing will breed

Summary

This quote suggests that when a person engages in wrongdoing, they burden themselves with the consequences and fall victim to their own actions. This burden becomes a yoke that weighs them down and gradually transforms even the most compassionate individual into someone filled with hate. It implies that the negativity generated through immoral behavior can corrupt one's character and erode their innate kindness, bringing out negative emotions such as resentment and animosity. Ultimately, this quote underscores the self-destructive nature of wrongful deeds and highlights the transformative power of negative actions on a person's nature.
