There’s Such a Thing as Universal Justice
Call it karma, God or luck — regardless, it catches up to us all eventually. History has shown us this time and time again.
The older I get, the easier I find it to turn the other cheek when I’m intentionally wronged by others. There was a time, I found it damn near impossible to do so. With every betrayal that I found myself on the unpleasant end of, I’d begin to confuse my life with The Count of Monte Cristo’s. With each new enemy acquired, there I was reading The Art of War again. I wish I was kidding.
While it’s not quite as simple as “do right today, be rewarded tomorrow”, just like those who do wrong may live consequence-free for years to come — the total sum of our thoughts, intentions, actions, and words are ultimately calculated by a force very few people seem to understand. Mainly because they don’t believe in it, despite the overwhelming amount of evidence that surrounds them, which they call their lives.
What we carry in our heads and hearts, eventually becomes what’s written in our histories. This is because we become who and what we spend the majority of our time thinking about and obsessing over. Stress, worry, and negativity bring more of the same — just as joy, positivity, and love do.
