One good deed a day, accumulate good fortune day by day. A person's fate depends on their state of mind. A person's fortune is shallow or thick, related to one thought and one intention.
Some people stubbornly refuse to believe in good rewards or bad punishments, thinking they are currently doing well, which is like the sun in the middle of the day, fortune like the East Sea. How could things be so good? It's really wrong. Even if life is good, it still depends on 'goodness' to support it.
Once, a wealthy family hired a nephew from a humble background. At first, the nephew behaved honestly and generously. After a couple of years, his true nature surfaced. He spent money like water, and was always chasing pleasures. 'Master, Master's wife and the young ladies repeatedly urged him to correct his ways and return to his former self. That's not a bad way to spend a family's time, right? But the nephew retorted, 'When you didn't give me property, I was naturally angry. Now that you've given me all your property, I am in control.'
Master and Master's wife, worried about their daughter's happiness, soon passed away. Just half a year after the old man's death, the lazy and greedy nephew also brought a young concubine into the house. They spent the whole day indulging in pleasures and making loud noises. The young ladies repeatedly urged him to think of his past and not go too far. That nephew didn't listen, he pushed the young lady to the stone slab, causing her to bleed to death. Because of excessive bleeding, she died.
At that moment, the nephew's actions angered everyone. The relatives of the wealthy family and the old servants filed a lawsuit against him. The charges included ten: 1. Killing the two elderly; 2. Murdering his wife; 3. Plotting to steal property; 4. Disrespecting his elders; 5. Being lazy and irresponsible; 6. Colluding with thieves; 7. Chasing pleasures; 8. Poor business skills; 9. Lacking virtue; 10. No moral character. The authorities confirmed the facts. The original wife died at his hands. He was arrested and thrown into jail.
Even if life is good, if you are not kind, it's like exhausting your good fortune. A person's fate might be good from the start, but if they are not kind, it's like draining their good fortune. Once the good fortune is exhausted, they will return to the state of having nothing. Evil thoughts lead to the reduction of good fortune. Too many evil thoughts result in a significant loss.
Fate may be unfortunate, if you are not kind, it's like adding ice on the snow. A person's fate might be difficult, but if they are kind, all setbacks will turn into opportunities. Some things seem like a trial, but eventually turn out to be a good thing. That's the reward of good deeds, isn't it?
One good thought, one aware; one evil thought, good fortune disappears instantly. If you are not kind, your fate will become worse. If you have evil thoughts, good fortune will also turn into resentment. (Image from free original pictures on Toutiao)
Fate may be abundant, if you are not kind, it's like grinding things with stone. A person's fate might be difficult, but if they are kind, all setbacks will turn into opportunities. Some things seem like a trial, but eventually turn out to be a good thing.
