What Goes Around Comes Around

Do you ever wonder if there is anything fair in life? Newton's Third Law of Motion states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The Bible tells us an eye for an eye and turn the other cheek. (Ok, so there is a difference between Old Testament and New Testament, but I digress!) There are people in this world who love others and do great things outside themselves; they would never hurt another person, and the next thing they know they are diagnosed with terminal cancer or a loved one dies or just changes inexplicably leaving life in a tailspin. Wonderful people are beset with tragedy as a reward. Doesn't good deserve good? Just a thought... On the other hand, there are those who just can't seem to keep their life on track. They take advantage of family and friends, they abuse themselves, they darken doors and kill spirits, they hurt the people who love them. Yet, around every corner a "second" chance is waiting and another opportunity to do the same thing again. They don't care who they hurt. Do they even know what they have done? Do they even know that they need forgiveness and that there are consequences for what has been done? As long as their happy, right? Personal happiness at any cost. They may be somewhat remorseful, but Pride will never let it show especially not to the offended. So, the selfish are exalted in the palaces they build for themselves while the good and the loving are met with tears and sorrow. Really fair. I know that mercy and judgement are God's alone, but things would be a lot easier if I really knew that what goes around comes around. It would be easier to accept the silence. I could let go and be at peace.
