I've always been one person who gave people the treatment they deserved. Or I think I think I didn't judge what they deserved but I at least treated them just the way the treated me. I'd respect all who'd respect me and give a hard time to those who wouldn't. But lately, as I started believing in God more and more each day and subsequently in karma and started meditating and stuff I feel like I should be nice to every person whether they're nice to me or not. Who knows what will come back to me. But sometimes it's really taxing. Like someone would irritate me and the next moment I'll cringe at the next word they say or I wouldn't feel like being nice to them and then think Ohh no not good. This kind of thinking isn't good. But as I said, it's taxing. Sometimes you just want to not like a person in peace even if it's for a moment.

What are your thoughts on this? What should I feel in such situations?

Your entitled to your feelings and opinions. Don't censor yourself for anyone.

If you find yourself regretting the words that came out your mouth try and learn to slow your knee jerk reaction, absorb, and then speak on it.

I've learnt that in the past few months but even then I feel bad for giving ppl what they deserve.

I agree with this lady

I hope you don’t because that’s what racist people think and talk

I think they can be two different things. You can feel the way lady Neptune feels and still not be a racist.

you should be a good person and try to stay positive but you should be able to express yourself, always be careful of those who take your kindness as a weakness and try to use it to their advantage
