Does this sentence make any sense to our esteemed teachers.
"What goes around comes around".
Thanks in advance

Hi Zahir,

I think the phrase makes sense to many people -- not only English teachers. It's an idiom that means "If you do something bad to another person, you will get hurt too.

Let me know what you think.
Regards,
Torsten

It's the equivalent of the proverb that the Europeans have that says if you dig a pit for someone, you'll fall into it yourself. The equivalent proverb that native English speakers use comes from the Bible: "As you sow, so shall you reap."

Sometimes in very slangy English we say that our actions come back around to bite us on the butt.

Thanks to all of you... I think I guessed that was the meaning, I just needed your confirmation. Also, thanks for alternative proverbs...
