“A man who makes trouble for others is also making trouble for himself”
— Chinua Achebe
Simplified Meaning:
When someone creates problems for other people, they often end up causing problems for themselves too. Imagine a person at work who spreads nasty rumors about their colleagues. At first, it might seem like their gossip is hurting others. However, other people might start to distrust or avoid the gossiper, making it harder for them to work with others or get help when they need it. Similarly, in history, leaders who ruled harshly and caused suffering to their people often faced rebellions and lost their power. When someone behaves in a harmful way, it can come back to hurt them in the end. By thinking carefully about how our actions affect others, we can avoid creating our own problems and build more positive relationships. This advice can help us lead a more peaceful and successful life.
