I am a sincere believer that what you put out in the world will one day return to you. The key is to give only what you can afford to give and have no expectations in return. I have helped people that I never expect to return the favor. Down the road, other people have appeared and helped me through bad times. I think that if you maintain an attitude of compassion toward your fellows, you will be ultimately met with compassion in return. And the reverse is also true.

I have some next door neighbors who are not saints, but they are among the kindest people I know. They are always ready to help a neighbor in any way they can. Everyone here adores them, and we'd do anything we could to help them out if they needed. What goes around does come around. Maybe not immediently, but, certainly, eventually.
