The Daily Stoic - Meditations on Wisdom, Perseverance, and the Art of Living
Day 15
October 27th - We Reap what we Sow
"Crimes often return to their teacher."
- Seneca, Thyestes, 311
From the Author:
"It's something to think about when you consider whom to work with and whom to do business with in life. If you show a client how to do something unethical or illegal, might they return the favor to an unsuspecting you later on? If you provide a bad example to your empolyees, to your associates, to your children, might they betray you or hurt you down the road? What goes around, comes around, is the saying. Karma is a notion we have imported from the East, along similar lines."
This one is quite an easy one. Another similar would be;
"So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets."
- Matthew, 7:12
Everything is a balance of energies. A pendulum swings one way, but it must swing back. Pendulums are a bit strange though, as one can be a turning of the tides, perhaps a breakdown of the current status quo into something else. But it's important to keep putting out energies with best intentions, not in the way that the karma will come back and make it self serving, but so that you can collectively bring honesty, truth and respect to the forefront of every interaction.
