A Thought: Action / Reaction Why is it That some people Would never think Of going swimming in a lightning storm But think nothing Of berating their spouse Or a child Or to cheat on an expense account Or their taxes To undermine a colleague Or lie to a friend They must think These kinds of actions Disappear harmlessly Into the air That nothing happens In response to them That these kinds of things Will generate No reciprocal action That may Return to them in kind Big mistake
THE TITLE – WHAT IT MEANS The phrase from yesteryear was, “As You Sow, So Shall You Reap.” It was an expression that was common wisdom at the time. Because so many people have become turned off to religious-sounding jargon, however, when we hear a statement like this, it can easily push the tuneout button, dismissed as just another esoteric concept with no basis in reality. The fact is, however, that this statement is far from religious jargon. In its earliest conception, it referred to the very real world and experience of the people being addressed, many of whom relied on farming acumen for their survival. It meant then, as it does now, that the care, precision and attention given to the planting and nurturing of the seeds one planted, would determine in large measure the quality and quantity of the harvest one reaped. The great teachers of ancient times used this statement as an analogy because all could relate to it. The purpose was to point out, that just as the success of the harvest was directly related to the care and attention given to the seed, so it was in all areas of life, including health, prosperity, happiness and the quality of personal relationships. They were trying to use a simple concept that everyone could grasp, to convey the basic nature of life. It is as practical as it is profound. It is also one of the basic tenets that are common to many of the world’s great philosophies. However, while it is as relevant today as it has ever been, it is also, as difficult to hear. Regardless, there is no doubt about the fundamental truth behind the statement. In order to find a substitute for those forbidding and archaic sounding
