As the New Radicals sang:
Don’t give up
You’ve got a reason to live
Can’t forget, you only get what you give.

Last week we discussed the importance of balance within yourself, today we’ll examine the balance of life itself.  Most religions have a sense of this balance.  The bible tells us: “Do unto others as you would have done unto you.”  The Witch’s Rede states that what you do will come back to you threefold.  Most people refer to it as karma.

I try to let my belief in karma guide my actions and make me a better person.  I realized exactly how far I had come in following that path when I stood across from someone who wants nothing more than my abject misery and destruction, and has stated so, and was able to behave in a civil and cordial manner.

Finding the ability to follow a peaceful path is extremely difficult.  On more than one occasion, I have found myself making mean or hurtful comments about someone or something and have pulled away from that edge, reminding myself that by saying those hurtful and painful things, I invite that bad energy into my own life.

Finding your center enables you to maintain the balance in the rest of your life.  In doing or wishing harm on someone else, you invite harm to happen to you.  Living by the Threefold Rule/Golden Rule enables you to be a happier person, knowing that you have lived your life the best that you can.  People who wish to hurt others tend to be unhappy themselves and really deserve nothing more than our pity and sympathy.  And those who wish to hurt you should not succeed in dragging you down to their level.
