Life with its ups and downs has taught me so many things that I use as a guard on how I live my life, while some lessons were learned through pleasant experiences, some others were learned in a hard way that leaves a mark that no matter what, we can't easily forget them.
Just like a child who is curious about a local lantern, and always wants to touch it, but his parent always stops him so as not to get burnt, but yet, the child still goes there when the parent gets distracted from him, feeling happy finally that no one is looking, reached out his hands and touched the hot burning lantern, his cries follow after getting burned, that way he has learned why his parent has been preventing him all along, snd never will be try to ho closer again to the lantern.
One greatest lessons I have learned in life is that karma is real, if you do good, you will reap your good in one way or the other and if bad, you will also reap bad, and that is why I try as much as I can to be good to people no matter where I am, no matter the kind of vibes I get from people around me, I can't help but still maintain being positive, and one key character I have uphold since discovering myself is honesty.
I have had people call me several ill names because of this lifestyle I uphold, some would say being good is not being smart, while others might say I'm taking being Christ-like too much, that the rules of honesty are bound to be broken once in a while, but I totally disagree, I've had opportunities where dishonesty would have earned me a huge sum of money, but the repercussion of that is that it might end up taking away my peace of mind, big no amount of money is worth my peace of mind, I would rather manage the little I earn than be dishonest with my earning.
Just yesterday, I had an experience that made me believe I got paid back the good I've been giving, I was at the market sourcing for sewing materials for a client whose wedding is coming up this weekend, unfortunately, my phone ran out of battery, so I had to resort to using my ATM card to pay for some of the things I got using several POS machine from the vendors I patronized, but one particular vendor didn't have a POS, so I had to call a random 'POS boy' that's how we refer to those that help these form of transaction, I asked that he withdraw five thousand one hundred naira #5100, but he inputted fifty-one thousand naira #51000, and to make it worst, unlike me, I didn't confirm what he inputted before punching in my pin, and there was no way I could receive immediate notification since my phone was down, expecting to receive the 5000 cash to pay for the fabric I had just gotten, I noticed the POS boy paused for a while, as if deciding on something, after, he started apologizing that he inputted 51000 instad of 5100, I was shocked because I wouldt have rerecognizeeeee or found him if I eventually discovered later since they didn't have a specific location, then I remembered those times I was over paid by some vendors or clients and how I would call them to refund the excess paid, the feeling of shock they usually responded with,withhhh was the exact dame feeling I had, snd now I believe truly that good reaps good and bad reaps bad.
So let's try to be good no matter what, one day, that good deed would come back to us.

That illustration about a child who keeps going back to the lantern is so true, I've seen a lot of kids learn that way 😅
Karma is real indeed and it's always important to do as much good as you can, one never knows where one will find his or herself. Keep being amazing my Glory 🥰
Lol, so common of children those days
Yeah, Karma is real, we just have to keep up at being good.
Thanks Merit❤
I have not really seen karma in action and that makes it hard to believe that it's real..
