What goes around comes around
When considering how you treat others
Understanding the Rule
Your actions have consequences that eventually return to you. Treat others well and goodness returns; treat others poorly and harm returns. The universe has a way of balancing accounts.
What Happens When You Break It
Treating others poorly creates enemies, damages reputation, eliminates future opportunities, and eventually brings similar treatment back to you through various channels.
Benefits of Following This Rule
Treating others well builds allies, creates positive reputation, opens opportunities, generates goodwill, and tends to result in others treating you well in return.
