Circle of Life

In familiar terms, that would mean, what goes around, comes around.
In Christianity, it's less clear with the 'do unto others what you want others to do unto you' - which sounds like it's a warning more than anything else - but there must be a reason for such a warning isn't it?
In Buddhism and Hinduism - it's karma - what you do now, will come back to haunt you.

So is this what life is about?
That we need to fulfil it well?
That there is a requirement to minimise the damage that we will do to others so that we, either consciously or unconsciously protect ourselves from the same fate that we have served?

I think it's an intersting point to take note of, since it's rather similar, what the teachings are.

BUT does that mean we allow people to trample on us since Jesus did mention offering the other cheek to be slapped on as well.....Jesus is God's son, I am not, so that's why humans tend to react differently.
Which brings me to the law of physics - for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
And that's why when we say or do anything, it begins a cycle.
If we are polite, we tend to receive the same treatment.
If we are rude, we tend to receive the same.
If we do good, we can be assured that good things will come in time.
If we have good intentions, then good things will definately be in the pipeline.
Good begets good.
Bad is bad, no matter how you twist it.
As long as our intent is bad, then it's best to throw it out the window, because every dog will have his day - For every movie, the good guys always win after a thrashing - so if good will always prevail, why are there people who think otherwise?
