Life as a Boomerang

By: Rosemary

First and foremost, I have on several occasions heard people talk about karma, destiny, luck and all things of the sort, and before I even go on with this discussion I want to make it clear that I don't disregard any of the above theories to circumstances in life but I for one strongly believe that life is a boomerang.

For those of us who do not know what a boomerang is, let me make it simpler, a boomerang is an object designed as a weapon, can be thrown so far but it always comes back to the thrower.

In the same way, life is just like that boomerang, everything we do, be it good or bad has a reaction, in other words, it comes back to us in ways we may never expect. when we are good, loving, respectful, kind, helpful, faithful, humble, hardworking, forgiving, all these things will one day yield positive results. when we are rude, bad-mannered and all sorts of nagging behavior and habits you can think of, it also comes back to us.

Often times our religious leaders, explain this in another way, "you reap what you sow", all this explains one fact, do to others what you want to be done to you.

Every time that you are torn between decisions especially that affect other people's lives, take a moment and think if this was me, how would I feel? that simple question will give the right decision.

If you want to be understood, first understand others, if wanted to be loved, love others, as simple as that, all hat you should expect from some else is what you can equally offer to them.
