What goes around comes around

Human beings by nature are selfish and think they are better than others but never try to see how worthy others are. If you have a prejudice in your mind, you can never be a true judge. To be a judge, you should not know anyone else only the proof you need. In the same way, what you think you will become as Buddha said. If you think positive and are generous to other, they are also ready to assist you in your necessity. If you wish bad happening for others, it comes first as your share. Hence what goes around comes around.

To speak the truth must be the baseline for your living. If your lie can save someone’s life, it’s pardonable. If not, no one should speak a single lie. If you speak a lie in front of a child who cannot speak, learns to speak a lie from you. If you begin to hide something else, the child learns so. If you encourage our child to involve in a misdeed, he does so in future. Whether a child can speak or not but he is learning something from the womb of his mother and the surrounding where he grows. Hence the five senses of our organs are giving the command to our subconscious mind and later they develop as our habits. We human beings should develop a positive attitude and suppress misdeed from the very beginning of human life. Everyone in time has to realize that a falsehood spoils a thousand truths. How you were is not the matter how you are is of great importance it’s because your being in the past has already been history but the people are living at present and judging you through their conscience. To maintain peace in human society, everyone has to smile at each other, give up arrogance and develop humility.

Having a good discussion is like riches. It means that if human beings have a rational discussion on any issue, it gives good outlet which can be the source of happiness that we cannot buy with money. Hence it is relevant to mention- A wise enemy is better than having a fool friend. It means knowledge is power and worship. A fool is a wise man’s ladder. A fool is guided by others but a wise one is an independent being everywhere. He may not have friends and companies in a crowd but the fool one in isolation also surrenders him. Even Abraham Lincoln asked his son’s head teacher to teach him not to follow the crowd but the truth and give his support to the truth if he becomes alone.
Misery loves company. Most people, who are living in hardship, lose their mental balance; wish to see the downfall of others too. It’s less human activities. They have to be aware of it than others’ downfall cannot keep you in happiness. If it does, can you live is a human? So is in the case of a leader. If a leader cannot give guidance in time, can he be the leaders of others? To be the leader, he must of many supports and respect through the heart. Can it possible for the selfish ones? Indeed, not never. In the same way, If a child is dying of hunger in front of you, how you can be content with the plight of the child. If you are a human and don’t have anything to feed the child, you can wish for him. If you wish and everyone does, misery itself cherishes from the surrounding. This is the necessity of the present so-called human civilization.

Albert Schweitzer said- Happiness is the only thing that multiplies if you share it. Everyone has to be happy with whatever he has. Even if he doesn’t have anything to feed the kids or spouse or have anything else and ready to offer to others like Sudama, God Krishna’s childhood friend who offered the half pieces of single rice and was able to fulfill the hunger of the hungry in the world. Everyone has to realize that evil thoughts often come from idleness. Hence, no one should remain inactive but must be busy all the time doing something. Though it is very common-Don’t give cherries to pigs or advice to fools. Fools or pigs are compared to each other here. Cherry is a nourishing small fruit but it’s not necessary to feed the pig which is a carnivore. It can fulfill its hunger by eating what it gets. So is in the case of fools. Fools don’t accept the reality and are guided by the false notion. It’s very difficult for them to release the illusion from them. Hence it’s the duty of the wise to take out them from their stupidity for the sake of human beings peace and harmony in totality.
