I read "come to harm" as "get harmed" instead of "do harm". In simpler terms: what's good for some is bad for others.

- tuatoru 4y agoYes, the idiom "come to X" does mean "be acted on by X". Common usages "come to harm", "come to Jesus", "come to his/her/your/my senses" ( = rational thought).
- dalmo3 4y agoIt's especially confusing in this case, where the previous sentence refers to a place. "I come to the beach to relax, but others come to party."
