Goodness Assures Happiness

Buddha said, 

"The kind of seed sown
 will produce that kind of fruit.
 Those who do good will reap good results.
 Those who do evil will reap evil results.
 If you carefully plant a good seed,
 You will joyfully gather good fruit." 

Good thoughts and acts assure happy life. Bad thoughts or acts lead us to sorrows and miseries. Depriving others will desert you. Personal security will be in threat as relationships fade away. Lack of self-control land us in hardship. Greediness leads to troubled future. For example, addiction to alcohol or narcotics leads you to ill-health. With impoverishment and ill health, you become destitute. Though you have deep pockets, you can’t escape from sufferings. Illness panics you and takes away happiness. Negative state of mind makes you commit crime, for which you face music behind bars.  Likewise, you will be hit if you jump signals or drive rash. It may cost your life or makes you pay heavily. Corrupt behaviour or misconduct puts your credibility in stake. No matter what we say, others know us from how we behave. Dishonest, fraudulent, unethical and unfair behaviours diminish our trustworthiness and hence impound our employment or business opportunities.
