Orissa, Kashmir: You Reap What You Sow..!

As I hear about the terrible atrocities in Orissa and watch equally sad and gruesome happenings in Jammu and Kashmir, I know it’s our politicians who are behind all this, who without remorse, without the least concern watch innocents butchered and burnt.

But my dear political friends you reap what you sow; when you sow hate you’ll reap hate and good reaps good like this story shows:

An incident took place during Ignacy Paderewski’s (November 18, 1860 - June 29, 1941) career. The famous Polish pianist agreed to play a concert organized by two Stanford University students working their way through college. Paderewski’s
manager said they would have to guarantee the artist a fee of $2,000.
The boys agreed and eventually the concert was held.
Though the two student promoters worked hard, they took in only
$1,600. Discouraged, they told Paderewski of their efforts and handed him the $1,600 with a note promising to pay him the balance of $400.
But the artist tore up the note and gave them back the $1,600. ‘Take
your expenses out of this,’ he said, ‘give yourselves each 10% of what’s left for your work, and let me have the rest.’
Years later, Paderewski was faced with feeding the people of his war-ravaged Poland. Amazingly, even before a request was made, thousands of tons of food were sent to Poland by the United States.
Paderewski later traveled to Paris to thank President Herbert Hoover, who headed up the US relief effort. ‘That’s all right, Mr. Paderewski,’ said Hoover, ‘I knew that the need was great. And besides, though you may not remember it, I was one of two college students whom you generously helped when I was in need!’
The story illustrates a law of successful living: sooner or later we reap what we sow. Paderewski reaped a harvest of kindness he had sown years before.

Those who sow love will eventually reap love.
Those who sow goodness will reap even more.

Those who sow fear and mistrust will reap an unwanted harvest later.

Yes, Mr Politician you will pay for what you are doing with the lives entrusted in your care, each child who lives in fear, each woman hiding in the jungle and each man who lies awake in terror night after night fearing for his family, hopes and prays that you will change your ways before the day that all you sow starts reaping in your hateful, spiteful lives.

Just as a Paderewski was rewarded for his kindness by the then President of the United States, you will also have to one day stand before your God who will chastise, castigate and punish you for what India is going through today..!

Nicely written article and a very good religious instruction; however, which Indian politician, since independence specially, has changed his ways ; please name at least one! They only covered themselves in the mask of honesty and integrity and fooled the innocent people and public following the British policy of Divide and rule and got away with the murder, with the result that India stands where it is today.
