Karma is believed to be a silent boomerang that returns to you when you least expected. People fear that certain choices will come back and hunt them in the future. As I thought about the truth in being careful about making the right decisions, I also realized that we can’t live just thinking about karma and God punishing us for our sins. We can’t live in fear. Fear is a destroyer of everything that’s good. It creates doubt, ignorance and darkness. Yes, we should follow some rules, and be thoughtful about choices we make in life, so it can lead us into a more meaningful existence. But we shouldn’t be constricted by a narrow path. This is the way I see it: if I do something selfish in search of my own happiness, for example, but live the rest of my life doing wonderful things for humanity, for the environment etc. then when I’m standing in front of God on my judgment day, I think that He will weigh the good and the bad, and the good will prevail. Thus, fear can not stop me from my dreams. Courage, compassion, love, honesty, and gratitude are qualities that create a good person and a life that is worth living.
