All that you give to others, you are giving to yourself.
A farmer whose corn always took the first prize at the state fair, had the habit of sharing his best corn seed with all the farmers in the neighbourhood. When asked why, he said:" It really is a matter of self-interest. The wind picks up the pollen and carries it from field to field. So if my neighbours grow inferior corn, the cross-pollination brings down the quality of my own corn. That is why I am concerned that they plant only the very best."
It is impossible to help another without helping yourself, or to harm another without harming yourself.
