Karma, the “spiritual principle of cause and effect”, creates an indelible path to the outcomes of our actions.
Kindness begets kindness, gratitude begets gratitude and negativity begets negativity. I could go on, but you get the picture.
We must consciously send out positivity into the Universe, so that it comes back to us. Life is way too short for negative energy, and negative people.
I think we should focus on generosity of spirit and doing the right thing. It’s a lot easier to take than to give, and our actions do speak louder than words. Besides, with karma, the boomerang effect comes into play — what you send out into the World, comes right back at you!
