Can it really be that if you do something bad to someone, you’ll get something bad in return? Or is it reality that life has good and bad in it and things we have a challenge to deal with. Perhaps, we convince ourselves that those who hurt us will get hurt because there is a need deep inside to feel like justice has been delivered.
I guess the bottom line is those who continue to make the lives of others difficult, will one day have someone make their life difficult too. Hopefully this will help them realize the outcome of their own actions against others. Sadly this isn’t always true and there are individuals who seem to get pleasure in making the life of others hard.
What does this say about them? Are these really ‘bad’ people? Could it be that some people have been so hurt they seek revenge? I know there have been times in my life that I’ve been at that point. Thankfully, for me I had friends and family to get me through. In my experience acting on revenge doesn’t make you feel any happier, in fact if anything it makes you feel worse, so there’s really no point in it at all.
Are there bad people at all or is just good people who makes mistakes? I prefer to think this. In my own experience those who behave in a negative way constantly to others are either sad in their own lives or it could be that in pointing out their perceived wrong doing in others lives is deflecting from the wrong things they are doing. So instead of being angry, we should try to be understanding, not always easy especially if you’re on the end of their behaviour! It’s best to work to draw a line in the sand and leave the past and hurt behind you. If others are happy on the roundabout of blame, misery and negativity, leave them there, after all its their choice!
Life is too short to choose a negative path. What is true is that you get out of life more of what you put in! If you live trying to do what’s good and right and are always honest and true to yourself then this will be what others see and then just maybe, others will be good to you. There are no guarantees in life and life comes with no guarantee or exchange voucher!
So live the life you want to live, what comes around goes around, maybe but if you’re true to yourself and others, life will more likely have better times.
