How can we always have only good things coming our way?

Men today seek the fruits of good deeds without engaging themselves in good actions. They wish to avoid the consequences of sinful actions while indulging in such actions. If you want to avoid the results of bad deeds, you should avoid such actions. If you desire the fruits of meritorious deeds, you must do meritorious acts... develop the qualities of love and forbearance. Love grows by giving and forgiving... make good use of every minute of your time. See that your heart remains pure and unsullied.
