Simplified Meaning:
To do good for others, you should start with the people close to you, like your family and friends. Making sure your loved ones are taken care of and happy is the first step to being a kind and generous person. Once you have taken care of those closest to you, you can then focus on treating your neighbors and other people fairly. For example, if you help your family with their needs and solve problems at home, you will be better prepared to be fair and just to your neighbors and others in your community. By doing this, you build a strong, supportive environment both at home and around you. This approach ensures that kindness and fairness spread outward, starting from your home and moving into your neighborhood.
