The echo!

The universe is neither punishing you nor blessing you.

We do not struggle due to bad luck or because someone is doing something bad to us.

If we monitor our thought process, it is easy to recognise the storms that we create through our thought patterns and their succeeding actions.

Sometimes, we are simply not nice people on a deeper level. We do things that we believe we can get away with. In private and in our thoughts we practice injustice. We spend a lot of time being unkind, being judgemental, focusing on others.

We can be outwardly pleasant and well presented, articulate and flattering. We might be the people who others look up to , but yet we have double standards. Nice in public, but not so nice at home.

Nice to their face, but unkind behind their back.

We might hate, dislike, feel jealous and just about tolerate others on a deeper level.

We might be privately vengeful and nasty.

We might punish others, or make excuses to validate our behaviour, because of something they have done. Cause and effect still applies. We wish others to suffer so that we can say, " Oh, you too! I thought I was alone!"

However, we can expect the same too wherever we go. "If you can wish it to others, you also deserve it."Universe.

If there is one quick way to suffering, it is wishing another human being unhappiness. Or hoping that another human being can suffer. Or making another human suffer. For we are all human..

Our intentions follow us everywhere, because it is through them that the universe echoes our cause, back, with effect.

The challenge with cause and effect is that we get our come uppance where our heart's desire is.

Sometimes we do wish bad things upon a neighbour, talk negatively about them, do something privately to harm another person hoping we get away with it. The problem is that we think we are witty, cunning, clever or can outdo others.

We cannot outdo or outsmart the universe.

We do experience similar to what we did to this neighbour at our beloved job, the road, in health, family, or in our beloved relationship.

Whatever we think with our thoughts, even if it is about another or against another, is bound to come back to haunt us.

If we wish harm on another, remember, there is no law of assertion into another person's experience. If this person is aligned, they will be unaffected by our wishes and hopes for them. However, for us who have wished it, it means we have also asked for it. So we bring that into our experience.

It might be time we started taking small steps towards reconciling with the larger part of us that is more loving and non-discriminatory of conditions.

We can show others outward behaviour that nearly matches how we feel about them. That there is being congruent. Or nearly.

Because, There is nothing to hide, nowhere to hide.

Whatever we do in private good or bad, shows up somehow in the lives we live.

We do not get away with bad behaviour.

None of us does.

We just might not find out what happened "back" to others that is all.

The evidence of our deeper thoughts and feelings is in our everyday experiences. That is why we advocate reframes and role reversals. We might judge a situation and think thoughts. We can create reframes and healthy decisions for healthy interventions. This way, we minimise hatred and acting from a place of reacting and sometimes revenge.

We cannot be perfect, but we can embrace a large percentage of the love we are. This is how we can minimise "bad things happen to good people!" Do your best, and walk away from anything that might put you in a position to revenge. Expend that energy in your own life somewhere.
