what goes around...

My grandmother had a lot of unique turns of phrase, but one that she said a lot (and which is not unique to her by any means) was:  "What goes around, comes around."  This would usually be said when hearing bad news about someone who, in her mind, deserved it.

"What goes around, comes around."  He got what he deserved, that is.

Jesus puts it this way:  "A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap; for the measure you give will be the measure you get back."  

I guess the image of a measure of flour or grain also made me think of my grandmother, who was an amazing bread baker.  

"The measure you give will be the measure you get back."  Jesus says this in the context of judging and/or forgiving others.  The measure of judgment I give to others will be the measure of judgment I get back from others.  So judging others without mercy may create a climate of judging one another without mercy?  Is this what Jesus means?

What do you think?
