Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })One life touches others. And the changes humans make can inspire others, and lead to greater things and perpetuated acts of goodness that inspire others ad infinitum. That is the philosophy behind the Cycle of Virtue. That one person, doing good, can inspire others as well. Very much on the Idealistic side of Sliding Scale of Idealism vs. Cynicism Also coupled frequently with Earn Your Happy Ending. Frequently a plot point of the It's a Wonderful Plot. Compare Paying It Forward, where one character is inspired to help others because someone else helped them. Contrast a Cycle of Revenge and The Chain of Harm. |

Samurai Jack. Throughout the series, Jack helps people. Time and again, he comes to the aid of those in trouble. So, in the Grand Finale, when Aku has captured Jack and is planning to kill him on a live broadcast, EVERYONE Jack has ever helped over a period of fifty years comes to his aid, launching an all-out attack on Aku that frees Jack, allowing him to do what he does best. | |

Roy Mustang from Fullmetal Alchemist is trying to build this trope as a form of protection by becoming Fuhrer of Amestris. After losing so many soldiers under his command and committing so much death in the Ishval War of Extermination, Roy hits the Despair Event Horizon over how many people died and how many Ishavalans he killed that he can no longer remember. The soldiers who survived thanked him for his service and remarked all his sacrifices ensured they lived. With that, Roy resolves to do as he can as a single person to protect the entire country by saving as many as he can and those who he has protected will continue to protect others ad infinitum. Hughes, being a more cynical realist, compares it to an idealistic pyramid scheme, but applauds Roy's dream and swears to help him achieve it at all costs by helping him become the leader of Amestris to fulfill his dream. | |

The movie Pay It Forward is about L.A. getting overtaken by a rash of people doing good deeds and telling the beneficiary "Don't pay me back, pay it forward!" when asked how they can pay their benefactor for it. It starts as a kid's school assignment. | |

In Spider-Man (PS4), Peter Parker describes to Miles Morales his philosophy on helping people when it comes to being a superhero, as a way of paying it forward by helping people at low points, so they in turn will one day do the same for others as gratitude. | |

The Page Quote comes from Quantum Leap, where it's pointed out to Sam that the many good deeds and lives that he'd altered for the better had, in turn, gone on to touch other lives, and the others in their turn. Hinted at earlier in the series when Sam meets The Devil posing as Al, who demands to know what gave him the right to Set Right What Once Went Wrong. | |

Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue: When he was a little boy, Carter Grayson was saved by a firefighter. This inspired Carter to become a firefighter when he grew up, which led to him becoming a Power Ranger and saving even more lives. It is later revealed that the firefighter that inspired Carter is his superior Captain Mitchell, whose son Carter would also save twice. | |

Leverage: In "The Boys Night Out Job", Hardison gives Hurley, a character from Season 1, Nate's contact information because Hurley had legitimately become a better person (though he still ran afoul of a Mexican Drug Cartel AND The Irish Mob, but that was more from his trusting nature than any criminal intent). Hardison says it was because Nate seems so focused on the part where they destroy the Villain of the Week, while Hardison thinks it would be good to show him the good they'd achieved for other people, too. | |

In the The Old Guard, Andromache of Scythia has spent her immortal life trying to fight evil, and has grown disillusioned by how the world still seems to be getting worse. It takes a historian with two walls' worth of String Theory to show that her actions have had massive ripple effects, leading to thousands more people getting saved, and probably saving the world by proxy a few times. It's only due to a lack of reporting that no one could connect the dots till now. | |

It's a Wonderful Life. George Bailey is given a chance to see just how much of an impact he actually had in the world by being shown a world where he didn't exist. Bedford Falls, without his influence, would have been a horrible Crapsack World known as Pottersville. Many people would have died without his intervention, starting with a young boy whom his boyhood employer almost accidentally poisoned. The list goes all the way up to a ship full of sailors saved by his brother, whom he had himself saved from drowning in a frozen lake when they were children. | |
