Nobody deserves misery but sometimes it’s just your turn.

If the good is sown, the good is collected. When positive things are made, that returns well. I try to live with the idea that karma is a very real thing. So I put out what I want to get back. Karma moves in two directions. If we act virtuously, the seed we plant will result in happiness. If we act non-virtuously, suffering results. Still, others commit all sorts of evil deeds, claiming karma doesn’t exist. As long as karma exists, the world changes. There will always be karma to be taken care of.

Karma is everything. Contrary to popular misconception, karma has nothing to do with punishment and reward. Remember, how people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours. People pay for what they do, and still more, for what they have allowed themselves to become. And they pay for it simply: by the lives they lead. Realize that everything connects to everything else. Karma comes after everyone eventually. You can’t get away with screwing people over your whole life. What goes around comes around. That’s how it works. Sooner or later the universe will serve you the revenge that you deserve. Don’t waste time on revenge. The people who hurt you will eventually face their own karma. Do good and good will follow you.

Karma bides its time. You will always have to watch out. Karma is unforgiving and always gets payback. You cannot do harm to someone because someone has done harm to you. You will pay just like they will. Karma, simply put, is an action for action, good or bad. No need for revenge. Just sit back and wait. Those who hurt you will eventually screw up themselves and if you’re lucky, God will let you watch. Karma has a surprising way of taking care of situations. All you have to do is to sit back and watch. You are free to choose, but you are not free from the consequence of your choice. Every action has the equal and opposite reaction. This is the law of the universe and spares none. No one has escaped the justice of the universe. It is only a matter of time. Whatever you give to life, it gives you back. Do not hate anybody. The hatred which comes out from you will someday come back to you. Love others. And love will come back to you.

Being a good person is important in life, when you give good out into the world you will receive it back. Believing you’re a good person and actually being one are two completely different things. Never stop being a good person because of bad people. Being a good person does not mean you have to put up with other people’s crap. Being a good person doesn’t depend on your religion, your race or your skin color or your culture. It depends on how good is your heart and how good you treat others. Never regret being a good person, to the wrong people. Your behavior says everything about you, and their behavior says enough about them. A good person can make another person good; it means that goodness will elicit goodness in society; other persons will also be good.

A peaceful heart is a reward alone for being a good person. Be a good person. But don’t waste time proving it. You can be a good person with a kind heart and still say no. No matter what happens in life be good to people. Being good to people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind. I define a good person as somebody who is fully conscious of their own limitations. I’m surrounded by nothing but great people. I’ve been blessed with that, so really, I’ve got no choice but to be an all-around good person. To this day, just always treat people the way you want to be treated. Whether it’s family or friends or co-workers, I think it’s the most important thing.

I think if you’re a good person and spread happiness, good things will come to you. Be good to people. You will be remembered more for your kindness than any level of success you could possibly attain. If everyone were a good person, it’d obviously be a better world. If you’re a good person, the goodness will continue through your descendants.
