In some religious and spiritual circles the "Law of Return" is a widely held and accepted doctrine. This "law" dictates that whatever action is done by you, you shall receive back. Therefore if you were to do good one day, you shall receive something good in return, and conversely if you do some- thing bad, you shall receive something bad.
In Wicca they have something similar to the "Law of Return." They call this the "Three Fold Law." They under- stand this "law" to mean that what ever you do, good or bad, returns to you with three times the strength. There are differing views as to how and when you receive the three-fold effect, but nonetheless most Wiccans agree that such an effect occurs.

In some New Age groups the "Law of Return" is referred to as Karma (the force generated by a person's actions to perpetuate transmigration and in its ethical consequences to determine the nature of the person's next existence). Some even understand Karma to act as a cosmic score of "fate." In other words if Johnny does good, he will receive "x" amount of good Karma "points;" whereas if Sally does something bad, she will receive "x" amount of
bad Karma "points." Then, depending on person's point of view in regards to Karma, these points will gather until the end of the person's life and they will either be "rewarded" with a better life in the next incarnation, or be "punished" with a worse one. Others believe that you receive these Karma "points" in this lifetime. Some refer to this line of thinking as "New Age Karma," or "Western Karma."

Trips hasn't been accomplished yet. Here's a small nugget:
Google has tapped a Chainlink, as an official Cloud Partner and the relationship suggests a deep and detailed interest in blockchain technology by the Mountain View giant
The partnership, described in a detail Google Cloud blog post, aims to place BigQuery data on the blockchain using a “Chainlink oracle smart contract” (BigQuery is Google’s data warehousing and business intelligence solution)
It’s important to note that this is one of the few blockchain products that Google has singled out in this way making the announcement a feather in Chainlink’s proverbial cap
All of this means, quite simply, that Google’s products can now interact with decentralized applications in the same way, say, a client app can interact with a standard database server. Chainlink acts as the data middleman
Day and lead developer Evgeny Medvedev began introducing blockchain technology to Google last year, when they added data from the bitcoin and ethereum blockchains into BigQuery
They followed that up by making data sets for bitcoin cash, ethereum classic, litecoin, zcash, dogecoin and dash this year along with more tools for how to use them
Forbes recognized those efforts by including Google in its Blockchain 50 in April, which list 50 companies using decentralized ledgers in innovating ways
Google still lags behind competitors Amazon and Microsoft, which were both also on the list, in cloud computing revenue, but its smart contract integration is a significant move in the tech giants’ race to maximize blockchain’s potential
Google's decision to partner with Chainlink allows for Ethereum app builders using Google software to be able to integrate data from sources outside the blockchain
