I do think that people who treat others well normally find that the others will treat them well. We see every day that this is not always true. We also see every day that plenty of people who never seek to help others live out long and fruitful lives.
This is observed in both the Old and the New Testaments.
That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
This is Jesus talking in the Sermon on the Mount, and he is quoting the book of Ecclesiastes.
I'd like to believe that every good person is rewarded with an ice cream cone, but I've seen a lot of splendid people in the homeless shelter, and a lot of not-so-nice people living the high life.
I think that if you're a good person you do it because you want to, and because it's right, and because it makes a better world, not because you're going to get a present if you do.

Yes, it is an established law, just as gravity is a law. People will reap according to what they are sowing in life. If you sow love and kindness to others, this will come back to you but to those who sow hatred and unforgiveness, this will also return to them in full measure. Whatever it is, good or bad, it is like sowing seeds. You may not see the results overnight but there is a harvest day coming to everyone. Advise: Sow good to others, be kindhearted, and forgive those who have wronged you and you will see good days ahead but if you do otherwise, don't wonder why bad things are happening to you!And it has nothing to do with karma, karma is a falsehood and a lie..

Not quite...more like if you promote a positive attitude and treatment of others the likelihood is the same will be bestowed upon you, whereas the opposite would be true.
I see it more form a cause and effect onto yourself rather then revenge or reward that will be taken or given to another.

Yes, I was once cut off on the street by a pickup truck, moments later he made a left hand turn a motorcycle helmut in the truck bed rolled into the street.
Unfortunately most people do not see it as bad kharma coming back to haunt them.

Yes, eventually (sometimes patience is needed). Lots of people down through time believe it, so there really is a basis for believing the truth of this. Even the Bible says that you'll "reap what you sow".

Absolutely.Quite often if you treat someone badly the results of that bad treatment will result in a negative situation for you.
