Corrected spelling. Changed "if" to "when" just to meet edit-length criterion

However, it's an archaic word meaning "deserved reward or punishment". | |

BUt since your example includes desserts(usually sweet) can't it also be associated with good things just like "Getting fruits(sweet) in exchange for someone's deeds"? | |
| May 19, 2014 at 17:50 | comment | added | Third News | @ RyeɃreḁd "Like someone receiving punishment for his evil deeds or someone getting awarded for his good deeds?" Regardless, User76468 did not specify 'and' | |
| May 19, 2014 at 17:49 | comment | added | ermanen | Actually it works with good things also but mostly associated with bad things. There is "Just rewards" versions which is more associated with good things. You may mention this one too and include sources. They are used interchangeably. | |
| May 19, 2014 at 17:35 | comment | added | RyeɃreḁd | this only works for bad things, not good. | |
