Karma - A Hindu/Buddhist belief that the total effect of a person's actions and conduct during the successive phases of the person's existence will ultimately determine the person's destiny.
Have you ever heard the saying "what goes around comes around"? Or how about the 'hood' adage "when you do dirt, you get dirt"? Some folk believe that there is a direct correlation between our services and our rewards. Has some good deed that you performed (out of the pure kindness of your heart) ever materialized into an unexpected blessing for you? Of course it has.
Life just wouldn't be fair if karma didn't work both ways, now would it? Just as good begets good; our negative deeds will surely reap negative consequences. Think back on the occasion(s) when you may have taken someone’s emotions for granted, mistreated/misled someone who genuinely loved you, or betrayed the confidence of a significant other. Nine times out of ten, if these have been your habits, you've spent countless hours wondering if and when some abused individual would seek retribution for your wrong doings.
Self-imposed mental anguish is but one form of negative karma. The worst case scenario is that you'll actually have to reap what you’ve sewn. Statistics prove that most offenders are incapable of enduring the havoc that they dish out.
If you've been fortunate enough not to come full circle with your own transgressions, here's your formal warning. Today, I implore you to start treating others like you want to be treated because as sure as Friday follows Thursday, eventually karma will catch up to you. Be blessed.
