If you sow a seed of an mango, you cannot expect apple from the tree. This also mean, good seeds bring good produce and bad seed bring poor produce. If you do good to others, it is your virtue. If you do bad to others, it may boomarang. That is how man is made responsible for his own destiny. Have you come across any experience of this kind in your life? Do you agree or disagree with the above statement?

I agree with the statement above. You cannot expect to reap goodness if all you sow is hate. I try to sow goodness in hopes that I reap goodness. Sometimes what you sow, may go wrong and you reap some bad times, but it only makes you stronger right.

You said it right. But my intution says that whenever with clean mind and clean heart, if you sow good things, you will definitely reap good. That way, there will be couple of rotten apples in a apple tree and one cannot help. Thanks for your response.

I agree that you reap what you sow. My grandparents always said do unto others what you want others to do unto you. So if you do good things, you receive good things. If you do bad, you will get the bad as well.

In this busy world and hectic schedules, people have given a go by for grand parents' sayings. It is very valuable link we are cutting it off,making our life miserable, our children's more miserable. Let us pick up all those old links, follow their sincere advice, inculcate their advice in day to day life and make our live more meaningful. Thanks for agreeing with the disucsion point with your interesting response. Thanks.

We mostly relate this to brining up children. If we teach children good habits, good manners, we can expect them to be thorough gentlemen and gentle ladies when they grow up.

I agree with the statement as you sow, so you reap. It is a law of the universe.

Thank you very much for agreeing with the above statement. It would have been interesting discussion, if you had cited an example, experienced in your life.

That is the truth and that is said so in the Holy Bible. Even if we haven't read the Holy Bible, common sense tells us that if we so a mango seed, we will reap mangoes when the mango tree bears fruit already. We can never gather any other fruit from it except when a branch of another in the mango family is grafted in it. This is possible with respect to trees but not in our bodies.

I was trying to refer this proverb to raising of children. Suppose we teach good manners, good thinking, good habits, the chidren by and large will inculcate such good things in their life to become a responsible citizen.
