Living in a world of "Duality" that is full of infinite possibilities, we human beings seek quick fixes and instant gratification, but never patience, or gratefulness. The consciousness of the universe is patient, kind, and giving. Albert Einstein said, "Do not become a man of success, instead become a man of value". The law of karma aka cause and effect is a mirror of self. What and how we give to the universe is reflect back to us in the same way. The Laws of the Universe doesn't write our script for us we do. If we are selfish and impatience, that is what is reflected back to us in situations and circumstances. No, if's, and's, or but's.
