You've been wronged. Or think you've been wronged. Same difference. You sit down at the computer and pound out an angry, scathing denunciation of the person, their company, their ancestry and their ethics. You insult everything about them
except their looks. And that's probably because you never met them.

With a single keystroke or a first class stamp, your damming missile is on the way.

Satisfied that you have put another idiot in their place and proven to the world that you're a person who can't be messed with, you treat yourself to a cup of coffee.

But instead of coffee, you better be looking over your shoulder and running like hell. You have just sent out a barrage of 'boomerang' words. They will return. Guaranteed.
And they will sting you with multiplied ferocity. Sometimes the words themselves return. But generally they come back in unrecognizable forms. It may be a health
problem...loss of a job...financial setbacks...or something you consider to be just plain bad luck.

Now don't turn me off. I'm not preaching philosophy or religion...although the Bible states this same law over and over. And it is a law. YOUR ANGRY WORDS WILL RETURN...AND
YOU WILL BE STUNG. This law is in operation at all times no matter what you believe and you ignore it at your own peril.

Of course, you can use the same law to your advantage. Your good words...kind words...encouraging words...helpful words, will also return. And they have the ability to bless the socks off of you.

Don't bother trying to test this law. It's too difficult because the fulfillment of the law is often unrecognizable.

You can send out a million kindly words with little evidence of a return. But then one day, you may discover how right your world has become. You feel good. Things are
going wonderfully well. You may not be able to relate what is happening with your good words but the connection will be there.

However, there is one thing you can test. Go ahead and write that hostile, rude and angry letter. Send it. Then ask yourself how you feel.

Next, write an encouraging note to someone you don't know. Perhaps a congratulations for an accomplishment or a well- written article. Now, ask yourself again, how do you feel?
Which of the two feelings would you like to take into tomorrow? Which feeling do you think will have the most positive effect on your future.

Think about that the next time you decide to send out words with a sting. Do you really want to be stung in return...because you will be. It's a law of life.
