| As a figure of speech, its not necessarily a positive thing at all. Its used both ways. Its a bit like, "You made your bed, now lie in it." At face, sounds great. "Hey, I get to lay in this nice, fresh bed I've made." If your "hard work" is crapping on people, say, the "benefit" may be a gang-beating in a dark alley some night. Seeds sown, and reaped. > > Don’t look so surprised, and boy don’t you cry > > You’re only reaping the seeds that you’ve sown > > You can’t straddle two fences without consequences, > > Comeuppance will find you for all your offenses, > > Even the ones you disown. > > Doesn't 'reaping the seeds that you've sown' mean you're > finally seeing the benefits of your hard work.
