Whoever said about life, "as you sow, so shall you reap"didn't know life. To be generous I can say he/she had very limited exposure to life. These words are true to a limited extent in a very basic sense only. For example if you throw or drop a breakable item it will break. If you abuse or hit a person, you'd be abused or hit too.
I have known very good hearted people, always helping others, even pious ones, suffering for no fault of theirs. On the contrary, there are any number of people, who couldn't care less for others, flourishing in the world. In fact in today's world if some one slaps you on one cheek and you offer him/her the other one; the probability of your other cheek getting slapped too is very high.
Its very difficult to bring up children these days. What should one tell them. On the face of it, obviously, children should be taught the lessons of truth, honesty and fair play. At the same time they must be forewarned that they themselves may not come across these virtues. They should in fact be ready, prepared to face just the opposite.
