Karma

 

"A mind all logic is like a knife all blade. It makes the hand bleed that uses it." Rabindranath Tagore

"Ideally one should have a great deal of courage and strength, but not boast or make a big show of it. Then, in times of need, one should rise to the occasion and fight bravely for what is right." Dalai Lama

In Easter religions there is a concept of karma that what we do in this life will reflect on our future lives. In the West we have the saying "what goes around comes around." The Bible puts it as "you reap what you sow."

We are not alone in this world and it is important how we treat others. As the two quotes above teach us there is value in humility and compassion. If in your ego you set yourself above others and have no compassion for anyone else then eventually you will suffer a fall. Life has a way of springing nasty surprises on us.

The real counter is 5604.
