What Goes Around Comes Around

The idiom "what goes around comes around" means that the actions or behavior of a person will eventually have consequences, either good or bad, that will come back to them in the future. It is a way of saying that if you do good things, good things will happen to you, and if you do bad things, bad things will happen to you eventually.

For example, if someone is always mean and rude to others, eventually people will stop wanting to be around them and they will end up alone. On the other hand, if someone is always kind and helpful to others, they will likely have many friends and a happy life.

This idiom can be used in many situations, such as when someone is being selfish or dishonest and you want to warn them that their actions will have consequences. It can also be used to encourage people to do good things and treat others with kindness and respect.

In summary, "what goes around comes around" is a reminder that our actions have consequences and that we should strive to be kind and considerate to others if we want good things to happen to us in the future.
