As the Buddha taught:
"Do not think a small sin will not return in your future lives. 
Just as falling drops of water will fill a large container, 
The little sins that steadfast accumulate will completely overwhelm you. 
Do not think a small virtue will not return in your future lives.
Just as falling drops of water will fill a large container, 
The little virtues that steadfast accumulate will completely overwhelm you." 
I'm a FIRM beleiver that if you do good, good things will happen to you.  The same goes for spreading lies and being malicious.
