The ripple effect of our actions.

Hashem judges us by the effect that our actions have on other, not just by our actions. The ripple effect of our actions are as important as our actions themselves. We learn from this that we have to take into account how our actions are going to effect others and not just our actions themselves. We can cause others to come to greatness from the greatness of our actions.
