The booklet that came with cards gives us: "the law of cause and effect is in play...elements in my life balance out. What goes around comes around. I'm now seeing evidence of this law in the conditions of my world." Reminds me of the saying an 'eye for an eye just makes everyone blind.'
Everyone has their own brand of justice. What really 'rights' the scales? Fighting hatred with more hatred begets more hatred. There is no getting even.

ReplyDeletePrayers and singing "I liked to buy the world a coke" would be better than improper action that some of the counter protesters are engaging in.
DeleteI totally do not agree with the theory of what goes around comes around, not in a sensible way anyway.
ReplyDeleteAt one time I thought I did, now, not so much.
