Do you feel sometimes that your actions reflect on you outwardly or even inwardly?
Okay I know this is a weird question and perhaps some or many of you wont even understand what I am trying to say, due to my miscommunication about it.
Have you ever felt that what you do reflects on you? Like physically or mentally? I was having a discussion about this with a few people the other day and some of them said that yes, they do feel it reflects on them, especially outwardly. I was really really surprised at the responses I got from people.
I will give you an example, so you know what I mean. A person is a naïve teenager growing up. They have no skin problems. All of a sudden they get involved in doing things they shouldn’t. Then they notice the skin on their arms starts getting patchy or scaly. (I am not talking about acne, which can be common.) They feel its because of being involved in bad things. So they stop doing it, and the problem suddenly goes away. Or they dont stop doing it, and the problem persists and they blame it on the fact that they do this and this or whatever.
It could be other issues as well. For example, someone isn’t doing good things in their life, and they are having the hardest time finding a job for example, so they decide to quit doing those things, and then all of a sudden they find a good job. Or someone is neglecting prayers and they feel good things just dont happen to them, etc.
Now, its obvious that people do very bad things and still manage to have a fairly good life and vice versa, but I am wondering what YOU think about it, regarding yourself. Forget about the fact that other people will think you are being ridiculous if you do indeed think this way, I’d just like honest answers. I hope I am making sense. If you do feel this way, can you give an example? Even if you dont, a simple yes or no will suffice. Thanks.
