Are you reaping? Or are you sowing?

This question is not about anything particular. Just a general question... How many really believe in Karma? If not... Why? Bad things happen to people, even if they do not really do anything wrong to deserve it. This is the type of world we live in... But what gets me is... The folks that really get upset about how they are treated, and/or promises broken to them...most likely will usually be the first to do the same to others, and not give a flippin' hoot about it. They won't give it a second thought to apologize; and/or take an inward look at themselves to see if they are guilty of doing the same thing to someone else. They will just go on this rant of how unfairly they are being treated. Again... I am not speaking of anything particular, and/or about things that happen because of the world we live. Personally I believe that... We all make mistakes, and yeah there are consequences for our choices. But what gets me...is I hear on a regular basis people complaining how they are always being used, and/or being treated badly by others, but won't acknowledge that they do the same to others. I have learned a lot of things the hard way myself. And there is not much I can do about my past. But...I do my best to treat others, how I want to be treated. And I am seeing the good fruits of my labor now. I'm still not perfect, but I am a whole lot better. When someone treats me badly, I always ask myself this question first: "Am I reaping what I sowed; or is the other person planting a bad seed/harvest for their future?" Our entire lives we are either reaping, or we are sowing. That is how God has put this world together. If you are open, the next time someone hurts you... Ask yourself the same question. Then listen to your heart; you will usually get the answer you are looking for...

I strongly believe what the book of Galatians says that if you do good deeds, you will be repayed for doing good deeds and vice versa. If something bad happens to me, I do have to check out what I did wrong and repair the wrong.

But not all bad things that happens to you, was your fault. Sometimes it is the fault of the others, and you are the victim.

I'm doing more sowing than reaping wondering when on earth will I start reaping.

No, I do not really believe in Karma, I did a lot of good, but I had a very little back in exchange and I noticed that many times bad guys are those who live better.

I believe in Karma for sure. I think I will get what I sow. Thank you and Happy Merry Christmas!
