Similarly when we bring joy and pleasure and happiness, it is never lost any more than is anything harmful or injurious, or of a troublesome nature. Good deeds, kindness, forgiveness, tolerance, acts of love, none of these are ever lost, and some day they will return to us. Even if the recipient appear ungrateful or heedless, it is all the same. There is no need to be disappointed even if he proves to be unworthy of our kindness or our love. When we realize that all life is one life, we discover that it is to that life that we give our love and kindness and mercy. Then it is bound to return to us, if not today, perhaps next week; if not next week, perhaps next year; if not here, then somewhere where we never expected it could possibly come. "Thou shalt find it after many days."
