I think they also called it Karma, right? I don't know if I believe in the "what's goes around comes around department". I believe in "you make your own luck" dept. At least be prepare and luck might or might not come to you dept. *L*

Sometime, when I don't have any control over all the things that went wrong even after preparing, than I apply the what's goes around comes around mantra. That makes me feel better for a day.

Some people can change as Laurie said, which is good and this circle can get broken. The good comes back as well. Those who believe in the ultimate good, like myself, shall reap their rewards in Heaven. On Earth I don't expect to be rewarded for good as I'm a very humble person. I don't go around patting myself on the back.
==============

Why expect rewards, in Heavan or Earth? Why not just do good because you can? *S*

Now you got me thinking are we (generally speaking) doing good just to be rewarded in Heaven? Just like we don't break laws just because of being caught and punish. If there's no laws leading to punishment, will we break them? hmm.

(((((Cat)))) Sometimes we all have times when posting is difficult. It's good to see you back, though.


To answer your question, I do think what goes around comes around. I've seen it happen with people in my life. When it involves bad stuff, it's really hard to let go and let the person learn their lesson the hard way. And, unfortunately, sometimes it takes a very long time for that to happen. When it does, I think the cycle stops or it can stop. I'm not really thinking here of cheating but just of destructive behavior in general that hurts others. The sad thing too is if it takes a long time for the person to learn how destructive their behavior is or to get something bad in return, he/she can lose lots of friends and supporters along the way. People eventually figure out what's really going on with a person who can't get it together. Not sure if any of this makes sense!
