TRUE or FALSE: WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND ?

We hear this asserted a lot; sometimes by respected people.

Occasionally, we hear references to "karma".


Is this idle superstition or is it consistent
with your experiences or your observations ?

WHATAYATHINK ?

@OmSigDAVID,
I don't think it is karma. I do think this happens naturally. If some one makes a bad choice that causes harm or angst on some one else, they will not be received well in the future. I tell my kids when another child does something they don’t like, I said don’t worry, eventually no one will want to play with them if they keep acting that way " in others words “what goes around comes around”.

I have known of some spooky instances of poetic justice
(superpoetic justice -- kinda blew my mind) as tho guided by some unseen hand.

No.
Voodoo is a malicious and intentional psychic attack.

I decided, as an arbitrary act, to let them get away with it.
I forgave them.

Some time thereafter (not soon) superpoetic justice fell on them.
Blew my mind. "The wheels of the gods grind slowly, but thay grind exceeding fine."

This happened on several occasions.

Is this saying not a modern version of, "How ye sow, so shall ye reap"?

Or, "He who lives by the sword, dies by the sword"?

Maybe; I can think of looking at it from a few angles:
1. the literal agricultural sense
2. that principle applied to a man 's being properly paid
for working diligently

3. that by operation of some unseen metaphysical, noumenal hand,
justice will be executed upon u for good or for ill,
which is the subject matter of this thread.

Well, if someone makes a career of living by the sword,
like a mercenary soldier, then presumably, eventally his luck will run out,
if only because the onset of old age may reduce his muscular motor skills.
