what goes around, do they come around?

Absolutely.

Have you listened to 'What Goes Around Comes Around" by Justin Timberlake, and thoroughly comprehend the meaning of its lyrics?

You get hooked up with a girl, real seriously. You thought it was mutual. Yet she played you out. Worse, she did it with a good friend of yours. You confronted her. She ran away, speeding off in her car. And then met with a serious accident, and died. You wept, but not for long, because you thought she got what she deserved.

That was the gist of its MTV. When the song actually seemed like it was going to end, it went on. The part where the accident occurred, Justin sings, 'Girl, you got what you deserved'.

I thought the storyline was simple and good, in that it portrayed the very meaning of karma. In fact, projecting this theme to a larger context, it actually happens all around us.

What goes around always comes around, sometimes in a very obvious manner, and sometimes very subtly. Think about it, God created day and night, one after another. The reason for this is that the Earth spins around the sun. Or think about it philosophically - the process of conceiving a child in a mother's womb, to his birth, to his development and growth, all the way to his death. That's the very essence of this theme. Or maybe think about it scientifically, like whatever 'cycles' you've learnt in your years of education - water cycle, carbon cycle, nitrogen cycle, butterfly life cycle and infinitely so much more.

In fact, there's so much more aspects of our human life and environment that exemplify this theme and it is virtually impossible to make a conscious count of them. What we can do is to embrace and possibly put into practice the action of 'do unto others, what you want others to do unto you'.

If someone had done a good deed towards you today, pay it forward. If someone had treated you in a wrongful manner, take it in stride and move along. Before you contemplate ill-treating another person, like seriously, think twice, because like a boomerang, it might just come lunging at you with a far greater impact.
