\" border=\"0\" alt=\"smile.gif\" /> As the title reads, do you believe that the age old saying "what goes around comes around" really happens in life?For example, if you lend a hand to an absolute stranger today and find $10 on the ground tomorrow, do you consider the $10 a result of your act of kindness from the day before? If so, how about if you found the $10 a week or month later...would it still be related to that kind act from the week or month prior? Is there a time limit to one good or bad event in your life relating back to a previous good or bad deed you may have done?What about if you did something "bad" one day and got a flat tire the next...was it because "what goes around comes around" or are do you consider them two completely unrelated events?I'm just curious to find out how many of you believe that "good" deeds will bring you good tidings, while "bad" deeds will bring you misfortune sooner or later. I personally have found that in my own life, doing good deeds doesn't cause any positive things to happen to me. However, I will continue to do as many good deeds as I can because it makes me feel good to do so...I don't expect great things in return, but it sure would be nice.Feel free to simply say yes/no or to post your own feelings on the issue...thanks!~Mikey<div align=\"right\"><a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=218651\"><{POST_SNAPBACK}></a></div><!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEndHrm... Karma has always remained true for me. If I cause someone else pain, someone will most likely cause me a pain of similar intensity. If I try to look like a know-it-all when I haven't a leg to stand on, I eventually become ridiculed. If I break someone else's stuff, someone will probably (unintentionally or not) break something of mine. And MOST prominent, when I hurt someone's feelings or underestimate my love for something, I get hurt back and/or that person or thing is soon taken from me or something bad happens with it/them. The payback doesn't even have to be from the same source as my original instigation, but it WILL be equal in its damage to me. I also find - generally - that doing good things doesn't necessarily BRING good things unto me...or perhaps they're just a lot less noticeable than the bad things. I dunno for sure. Perhaps I never truly will.Good thread, though. Thanks for posting it!Cheers,Ryan
