You reap what you sow

If you hit someone, you will also be hit. This reciprocation is known as "reaping what you sow". This is the rule of nature unless you have a valid justification for your doing so. In that case, you have discharged your responsibility through the means you have adopted. This reciprocation is actually a blessing. Otherwise, we will pay for the consequence of our action. Nothing goes unnoticed by Allah Ta'ala. You hit someone. You insult someone. You ignore someone. You underestimate someone. However you behave with a person, you will receive the same in return. It is said that the world is like the echo of a mountain. Whatever you say, you will hear in return. So is it wise to spoil the future of another person which will be a means to spoil your future later?

Hence, it is easier to protect oneself by protecting the next person. Otherwise this is like spoiling our future with our own hands. This is how a person becomes his own enemy. Is it what is termed as auto-destruction?
