Most people deeply believe that everything we do, good or bad, comes back to us like a boomerang. It often seems to us that unscrupulous people live long and happily, and good people suffer misfortune.
Yesterday we were good, today we were rewarded for it. The fact that we hurt someone didn't hurt us. But we "arrived" once, because someone else hurt us. We have given a heart to a person who has no heart. Well again. And so on until we shone with the love of some noble being that we have been waiting for all our lives. We cheated at work, in a relationship, friendship. We thought no one could stand in our way. That we will get out hungry. And just when we were on the rise, we fell. We paid dearly for all the deceptions and impurities. Somewhere we lost, somewhere we gained the same day.
Do you believe in this sequence of things? That good will return to us with good, and that every bad move will, sooner or later, come to us as punishment. Like cosmic justice that has to settle everything. As a heavenly balance because of which we should always be pure and correct.
The Christian principle that we should not do to others what we do not want others to do to us should, in fact, guide everyone on a daily basis, whether we are believers or atheists.
In order to live in a world worth living, in which our life has an appropriate quality, in which our relations with other people are good and satisfactory, we need to adhere to the principle of reciprocity, to take into account the consequences of our actions and our choices. they leave it to the world we live in and to other people we live with. Hence the imperative to treat others in a way that we would consider positive, correct, if we were treated like that in similar circumstances. That is, in fact, the logic of a fair and happy society.
And that belief in the existence of cosmic justice, is a matter of the collective experience of people. Because, for generations, for hundreds of years, we have been convinced that doing injustice or evil, in the long run, brings evil to ourselves, in different ways: from changing who we are, turning us into people we never wanted to be, to things happen to us that are a kind of “pay” for the evil we have done to others. And that, the interlocutor explains, is something that we cannot rationally explain and understand, but we clearly see
It is like the "principle of synchronicity": sometimes things happen to us that predict or suggest some others. Sometimes we dream dreams that tell us what will happen to us, only if we pay good attention to their meaning. We often have an intuition that we ignore, and it turns out to be correct. It is a small part of our spiritual and spiritual reality that we can scientifically understand and explain in detail.
Viewed from that angle, it all reminds us of faith in a higher power that we mostly invoke in the hope that it will help us. Some consider it a remnant of primitive thinking, deviating from such a belief, because they believe that it has not reached the intellect and reached the power of critical observation of the world around us. But I think the world is really ruled by something beyond our comprehension, because we live in something that is bigger, deeper and more complex than us
Our limited experience leads us to the conclusion that there is "something" that is the beginning of everything, "something" that in some way, unknown to us, determines the key events in our lives and the world around us. Einstein believed that physics was possible only if it existed
But, on the other hand, we tend to curse those same forces when we are having a hard time, when something bad is happening to us, when we are losing loved ones. We are faithful and attached to our partner, and in return we are deceived. We work hard at work, while others buy cream. We wonder how it is possible that these forces were so cruel to us or to people we know have never sinned, have not "trampled ants", and ugly things have happened to them, tragedies. Then we begin to doubt their existence.
What goes around , comes around .
Nice !
