Answer: For instance, if we often think of ourselves as superior and look down on others, we will gradually find ourselves falling into a lower status, with poor character and social standing, and no one will like us. Conversely, if we think humbly of ourselves, consider ourselves ordinary or lowly, and show respect to everyone, we will gradually progress, becoming smarter, luckier, and more beloved by others. This is similar to what Jesus said in the Gospel: “For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”
Another example is if we owe a debt that we cannot repay or receive a favor that we cannot return, we may become subordinates to our benefactors in the future, serving them to repay the debt or favor.
If we learn something valuable and share it with others instead of keeping it to ourselves, we will become extremely knowledgeable and intelligent, possibly even reaching the level of a genius.
If we often help build public facilities for many people to use, such as schools, hospitals, libraries, religious buildings, and retirement homes, we will be rewarded with a spacious and comfortable home in the future.
