Fortune often will return the favor.
If one serves well, then one will be well served.
For most, the problem will be seeing it,
Thinking that their fate is not deserved.
Yet fate's the destination of behavior.

Though one might be a droplet in a stream
Hurtling through the rapids of one's times,
Remember that one also walks on roads,
Ever choosing to descend or climb,
Ever more in charge than it might seem.
