Many things in the world are caused by accumulative chain reactions - frequently with some latency here and there - and can combine into big impacts.

A group of Christians in one part of the world push their government into certain actions, believing they are advancing God’s cause.

Along the way, many of God’s people get hurt.

That initial group may say, “they are not my people, so not my problem.”

But they are God’s people. Which part of “love your neighbour as you love yourself” is not clear?
