"If you do what's right, if you live the right way, you'll be taken care of." 

-Rachel Castillo  

There is this interesting little thing in life called "karma".  It is the belief that if you do something bad, something bad will be returned to you.  If you do something good, something good will be returned to you.  This doesn’t just apply to life, but to anything.  If you put in the effort for that A on your next Math test, you will receive.  Life has a funny way of catching up to you and your actions, whether they be good or bad. This quote is basically saying that if you do what is right and if you live the way that you feel is right, life will take care of you.  All the kindness and all the good will be gifted to you because you deserve it.  But only when you have pure intentions and when you are being kind for the right reasons is when you will receive all the good in the world.  You cannot be kind just so that you will receive kindness, you cannot help only to be helped.  You have to take a good look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself "Are my intentions pure and good?"  If the answer is no, then you will not be taken care of.  It sounds harsh and mean, but it is the truth.  In order to be taken care of our kindness has to come from the bottom of our hearts.  We have to choose to live the right way on our own account in order to be taken care.  Do it because it is the right thing to do- it is as simple as that.
