Choices........ if we have none we are unhappy and if we have too many then we are unhappy again. Life is all about the choices we make. Life's payback is also on the choices we make. Here's a situation, I make a wrong choice and then get punished for it immediately my question is if I hadn't made the wrong choice and the outcome was the same then does making the right or the wrong choice play a significant role. The wrong choice would make me believe its payback for doing wrong,but what if I had nothing wrong then what would I have blamed my punishment on.
If rewards were given out for the choices we made then will I be punished for one big wrong choice and will all my other small right choices be over looked and vice versa. How do we ever know whether what happens to us is because of the choices we make.. What scale shall I use to measure whether the choice I have made are right or wrong, should I use time, circumstances or people, what is the best tool to see whether what I have chosen is the right choice?If you sow is what you reap, then everything you do is sowing and everything that happens to you is reaping??? Do laws of nature apply to the laws of life? If I sow wheat and get rice, should I be grateful or angry. If I plant mangoes and get mustard, is life/nature trying to tell me is that the small things in life are those that will just have to fulfill me or telling me, its all I deserve and vice versa.When I see the world and all its wickedness, 5 yr olds getting raped and tens of thousands in Zimbabwe getting slaughtered, then one can never apply the sowing and reaping philosophy to them . No one could have sown such bad seeds for evil like that to be reaped.
Maybe we can undo sowing and save harvest, if we know what we have planted is bad. When it comes to our lives, relationships,society and planet, maybe if we just uproot the evil and toil from the very beginning and plant love, kindness, forgiveness, mercy, empathy and morals. We may just be able to save ourselves from a bad harvest of dead lives, rotten relationships, degrading society and a dying planet.
