text: Yes and no. \n\nI don't believe that the good (or evil) done in this life will be revisited upon you in the next. There is no afterlife or reincarnation.\n\nHowever, I do think that people who do good things often see good things done to them and vice versa. This is not a hard rule. Plenty of people are terrible, yet enjoy wonderful lives. Many people are chronic do-gooders, yet suffer at every turn. However, I find that often a good deed is rewarded, if only by increasing the aggregate sense of happiness in the immediate vicinity.
