Absolutely, for Karma will come where Karma is due if we do not try to control our behavior and thoughts! The world should take cognizance of these truly serious comments! well penned Line, Poetry hugs, Jennifer.

Thank you so much, Jennifer. It truly boggles my mind when people are aging yet totally ignore the whole concept of karma or the inevitable judgment day whatever form it might take.

If only it could be like that line , what a wonderful it would be for all, love and respect seems to be in short supply. Many are evil and hell-bent on hatred . Tom.

I think this is why the song "Let it Go" in Frozen is such a hit, Line. I always think of it this way. "Let it go!" but sometimes it is difficult.
