Bec.........just watch 'My name is Earl'.......on channel 4...........its all about karma........... funny too...... Nick

Thanks for all your input and opinions. I still stick by my initial opinion, if you do bad things expect it to come around to you again. :0) xx

Yes you reap what you sow!! I truly believe that you should treat people how you want them to treat you, but then I don't believe in turning the other cheek!! Parents should be more mindful of their actions good or bad!! My ex-husband treats his kids like they are gods.... sadly they treat their father like he is their servant!! he's reaping what he sowed! My mother treated me badly, and now she's on her own she says she needs me..... too late now tho.... so she's reaping what she sowed!! It all comes back to us in the end!

I do believe that what you do will eventually come around and bite you on the ass and with that in mind think I must have been a serial killer in a former life!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think though that the state of your mind when you sow determines whether or not you reap i.e. during my first marriage I was particularly hateful to my husband, I was also seriously depressed and unable to function without medication, should I therefore reap that which I sowed unknowingly?

I agree with what Teresa said ... I don't think that if something bad happens to you, you must have done something bad to deserve it. But I do believe that if you DO do something bad, then yes, you will reap what you sow and it will all come back to haunt you. When you have children, you do have to stop and think very carefully before you act childishly yourself. Mandy

I do beleive you reap what you sow. But my luck has been so bad over the last 5yrs especially, and I can assure you we haven't deserved it, and it just keeps coming we would do anything to help anyone and would never hurt anyone unless of course unless they hurt us.My friends have started saying if anyone slings any muck they always throw it your way. I also beleive you only get out of a relationship what you put in but I am slowly learning that in some relationships no matter what you put in you will be dissapointed at what you get back. People never fail to dissapoint me now days. So yes I beleive they have different meanings having bad luck is just unlucky I guess. Denise.

hi anne ,well in which case i brought me lottery tickets so by rights i should have won,ooooooooooooowhat shall i spend me millions on,lolxxxxxxxjoy

Every action has a reaction. Everyone is responsible for their own actions !!!!!

wished i,d won the lottery...........xxxxxxxxxx

I think some people have constant bad luck withoutdeserving it. Some people are really horrible and always come up smelling of roses. Just occasionally though, some people do get their just desserts.

Teresa - Spot on! xx

I'd like to think you do however how come good things always seem to happen to bad people? Thinking of that chap who has a criminal record and won the Lottery ....... many more i could think of like people, good homest people , who mind their own business and yet get picked on , raped , murdered and the like..........

teresa............perfectly said........now i feel better and im not so bad after all.lolxxxxxxxxjoy

on the subject of mistakes kevin keagan said its not wrong to make a mistake its wrong if you dont learn from it,we all have to learn as do our kids.as for what goes around comes around well i must be one hell of a b-------,either that or i did something wrong in a past life.coz it keeps coming my way,lol.xxxxxxjoy

I certainly don't believe that just because something bad happens to you, it means you must have done something bad before. For instance, when I was 10 my aunt was killed in a car crash, she died on my birthday. For the first time I knew greif. Did I have to go through that because I had been bad, or was it because my Aunt had a bad asthma attack while driving? Lets just say, as far as 'you reap what you sow', yes if you swear in front of your children, you should not be surprised when they swear too. If you are aggressive toward someone, don't be surprised if they are aggressive back. Treat people how you would like them to treat you. To me, that is what the saying means. As for life, you sometimes need to experience the bad to be able to appreciate the good, or help others going through the same thing. You have to take the rough with the smooth, you have to give and take. My favourite saying is..'Lifes a bitch and then you die'

i think that there are certain actions one may chose to make knowing full well the repurcussions not only on them selves but their loved ones in which case it is not a case of deserving, but more of choices do i do this which could result in this or do i choice not to because of the risk involved. if you make the wrong choice and others are affected i believe you could have fore seen the risk before taking that course of action. it which case it comes down to the choices you make

Sometimes mistakes are made and not known about until long after. Maybe when pointed out or when they come back to pay you. Claire, I don't believe you have to have children of your own to have the opinion that Bec has. Jacky :-)

I have not sown anything so bad to deserve the life i have had over the last five years.... two weeks before my husband died three years ago he said 'there are givers and takers in this world and you are a giver and i am glad i married you' .... so i not know what i done, so am disagreeing xxxx

Clare - Maybe not. One thing I can say, is that any mistakes that I have made have taught me things and made me a better person, just a shame not all people can learn from their errors. xx

I believe, it's been proved twice to me now over the last few years.
