You don’t express your appreciation to acknowledge a favor from another. It is to make you aware of each and every gift you have received in your life.

The more conscious you are of giving thanks to others and paying them back, the more sensitive you become to all the good things coming your way. You’ll feel like this towards all people and things, and especially to the All Powerful for His blessings.

Really bad people, those who are bad right down to their soul, may have dome some good at some time, no matter how little of it they did. These people only get rewarded in this life.

There will be no reward for them in the World to Come. This is how the All Powerful dispenses justice. They will not not receive the elevation you will. Remember that when you wonder why bad people seem to win over good ones. They will get their just reward ( isolation) while you will get yours ( connection with the All Powerful). That should make your spirit smile.

There is balance in the universe. Goodness, as well as evil, can’t get so powerful that it can take total control. Otherwise there would be no challenge to life, and that would defeat the purpose of living.

As you become a better person, your negative side will increase to maintain balance. To keep you challenged as your soul becomes better, the bar gets raised even higher for the trials you will face in your life. Your purpose is to overcome those challenges. You can do it, or you would have no reason for being here.

Do good as often as you can, and be sure to only do so when around others.. When you do something in front of people which is not good, you lower their perspective of God. And if they begin to think that God is not always beneficent, it diminishes the amount of positive energy and karma in their world. So keep up the good karma and energy.
