Whether you believe in Kharma or Allah or Jesus or Jehovah or are merely an observer of the human experience, this should be apparent to anyone with keen observation skills. I don't mean to depict Kharma as god but as a balancing mechanism as it pertains to those whos beliefs include it.
I heard just this morning from a prominent speaker on the subject of life skills that she had been extensively sexually abused by her father and suffered much in every aspect of life as a result until she learned to leave the residual negativity and resident in her psyche behind. Joyce Meyers
As her father aged an was in need her care, she decided to provide housing and care for him instead of following her natural instincts, born of deep-seated resentment for the way in which he, who she should have been able to rely on to nurture her, had treated her, and the resultant impact on her future.
Well the upshot of that decision was that he, faced with this expression of love, forgiveness, mercy, forbearance, long-suffering and kindness, turned his life around and made her dream come true.
She said that in effect, she had not simply bought a house but a soul. What a marvelous surprise can come of an act of kindness and mercy.
She also pointed out that she had decided that keeping any animosity toward anyone does nothing positive to them, but poisons one's own being and deprives one of the virtues of forgiveness, mercy and grace, thus hampering one in achieving their own potential.
Potential is best achieved when the mind is operating in a state of happiness, where synergy is abundant and performance tremendously enhanced, as apposed to a state of stress or negativity of any kind or even in a neutral state of mind.
Another notable example provided was in the instance where a fellow road user turns in front of you without indicating. The kind of thing which might bring out the worst in many of us. She said that in circumstances like this, one might decide that their indicator light must have just stopped working, or whatever thought is required to give the person the benefit of the doubt. The result of this kind of decision is that one is happier believing that the act was committed without malice or negligence but rather something beyond their control.
Choosing to believe them best about others in all things at all times certainly means that one will have a brighter outlook on life and ones interactions with the rest of society.
This kind of thinking about one's own happiness and its impact on ones performance, influence and charisma is clearly highly beneficial and well worth an extensive study and an undying effort to effect change in ones modus operandi in social interaction and personal development.
