We only get one life, and we make a lot of decisions and mistakes during it. Unfortunately, there are times when we make mistakes and others are harmed as a result.
Whether we intend to harm others or do so unintentionally, our actions have consequences. We don’t often consider the consequences of our actions in our early years of life as much as we do later in life. While most people would assume that we simply get older and smarter as we get older, I believe there is something more to it.
The reason for this, I believe, is that much of what we do to others eventually comes back to us. After we’ve felt the pain, our past decisions and the ways we’ve hurt others start to surface in our minds.
We have an “A-ha!” moment, and we feel guilty about our decisions as a result. As a result, at least some of us become more cautious in our decisions.
Later, she meets a young man and falls in love with him. “Because he seems interested,” she tells herself, “he must be the one.” And we just get along.” Then, after a few months, he lets her go, realizing that he was just playing with her. She remembers the young man she treated similarly during her tear-filled and heartbroken moments, and her heart breaks even more.
She swears she will never do anything like that again. She begins to be more cautious. Not flawless, but much more cautious. Of course, she makes other errors, but that’s a story for another time.
Unfortunately, Karma does not always work in such a straightforward manner, though I wish it did. At the same time, I suppose I’m glad it doesn’t because I’m not perfect and have made my fair share of mistakes, as well as unintentionally hurting others.
I understand that we can’t aim for perfection. But we can strive to be more conscious of how our actions affect others and make wise decisions as a result.
Your current situation is the result of all of the decisions you’ve made in the past, according to a wise man. And there haven’t been any truer words spoken.
While we cannot change events beyond our control, we can always choose how we respond to our circumstances. I implore you to make wise decisions when it comes to other people’s hearts because you will never know how much someone suffers as a result of your actions until karma catches up with you.
And, while she may not be able to match your eye for an eye, you will, regardless of your intentions, pay a price for what you do to others. This is merely food for thought.
