  1. Very true. A good deed determines that we become good and by becoming good we determine that our future deeds are good and the wheel comes full circle.

    1. Thank you. Yes quite. Although some may start off with good intentions, they don't always follow those intentions through.

      I also think it very much depends sadly on people's agenda brought about through their past experiences.

      We must look to base our values on the universal laws, where deeds are very much at the heart of what life is all about.

  2. Actually, good deeds should be our ultimate goal in life, especially if we want Karma to work in our favor.

    But it hurts my feelings when people destroy our existence by not giving back to it.

    1. Thanks Tim. Yes, I agree with you. The more we embrace karma, the better we and our world will be.

      Sadly we're failing to grasp life and its concept in the true sense. It seems to be every man for himself. Coincidentally, this is the message in February's newsletter.
