"He who wished to secure the good of others, has already secured his own."

Confucius (551 - 479 B.C.)

I found myself dwelling upon these ancient words of wisdom because I realized how different the meaning would be with just a LETTER addition
in the first half (an 's' to "good"), and a WORD addition in the
second half ('downfall' after "own").

We have witnessed, in the past few days (and earlier in January), thousands of INDIVIDUALS who wanted to "secure the good of others," while the COUNTRIES who have directly or indirectly supported the leaders of oppression made it their concern to "secure the goodS of others." Whether
you call it the law of sowing and reaping; the law of attraction; the law of karma; or the boomerang effect; the former have been securing their
own good, while the latter have been securing their inevitable downfall.
