How many times did you hear this advice during your childhood years? Parents are really good at jumping in at the right time as an arm is raised or hurtful words are about to spill out at another. Did the words of caution help you understand at a tender young age that whatever you say or do can never be undone? They cannot be taken back. The only real surety is that there will be a come back at some time or other.
Children have a lot to learn, so many concepts to internalise and emotions to understand and control. One thing they do not know is that their parents are actually teaching them Newton's third motion; 'with every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.' Too advanced for a child's thinking ability but not for the adult.
How much importance each individual adults places on the third motion is highly personal. Like for instance, they don't think about it at, or are familiar with enough to do the best they can in their interactions with others, or they are so spiritually aware of it that the third motion becomes a favourite daily mantra. However which way it is employed in one's life is unique, there is no right or wrong. How you use it and what you do with the third motion is your choice: **What goes up comes down or as Jesus said in this time over 2000 years ago what you sow is what you reap.
Living a good life treating all people with kindness, respect and acceptance is a plus in this life. There are always consequences to everything we do, whether it is positive or negative. No-one gets away from facing their life decisions, it is just a matter as to whether it happens in this life or the next life. The important thing to remember is that we are not privy to the consequences other people suffer. It is very personal.

It was getting dark on the road home last night, just as the sunset had faded. I instinctively grabbed my iPhone as the sky was still strikingly beautiful. Regardless of the car going 100kms I snapped away. Here are 2 photos taken one after the other and this is what I got. I really like the second one, strange as it is, it reminds me of a painting.
