Simplified Meaning:
Treating other people badly or disrespectfully makes us look bad too. When we hurt or look down on someone, we're not showing good qualities about ourselves either. It's like when a bully in school makes fun of others; it doesn’t just hurt the victim, but also makes the bully seem mean and unkind. If you want people to see you as a good person, you need to treat them well. Being kind and respectful to others shines a positive light on you too. So, to keep our own dignity and self-respect, we need to be humane and fair to everyone around us.
