What goes around comes around. Like a whirlwind, or a boomerang, or that paper airplane I made that one time with the bent wing because I accidentally stepped…whatever, it doesn\’t matter. The point is… There is a balance to everything. What you put out into the world will inevitably come back to you.
Sometimes the world can be cruel. Life isn\’t fair. There are aspects of existence that make it difficult to imagine a benevolent creator. Despite my love of baked goods, I won\’t sugar coat this. Sometimes it is hard to see the karmic justice in nature.
Believe me. It\’s there. It may take months. It may take years. It may take decades. But everything comes out in the wash eventually.
Be a good person. Do good things. Have good intentions. Share positivity. If you do, it will catch on. Others will notice. They will remember. Think about it for a second. Who is the nicest person you know? Really think about that person. If they were going through hard times or being unjustly treated, wouldn\’t you feel compelled to step in? To do everything you could to help them out? Because that person is a symbol for you. That person is a symbol of hope. Of faith in what humanity is supposed to be. That\’s one apple you refuse to let rot.
The same is true for the opposite. If you are selfish and act in only your own interests, it will catch up. When you prey on those who are going through hard times, when you take and destroy with no concern for how others are affected, people will figure it out. It might take time. You may be a skilled manipulator. A wolf in a very good sheep suit. But wolves can\’t hide forever… And once the world sees you for the predator you are, you\’ll never be part of the herd again.
My advice for making decisions is to always choose the path that leads to the greatest common benefit. If you do good for others, rather than just yourself, that kindness will be replayed and will become a foundation for greater acts of kindness. Life is hard for everyone, but if you can take a little bit more weight to give relief to others, isn\’t it worth it? If you do, than when your load becomes too great, maybe someone will come share your burden. That\’s teamwork. That\’s society. That\’s humanity.
