New agers and mystics call it "Karma," ole time religion calls it the "Law Of Sowing And Reaping". I call it a mean ole bitch who is beyond my understanding.
Karma is suppose to equal all the inequities, right the wrongs, repay all deeds whether good or evil, give back a harvest of what was sown. And what I'd like to know is how come all those evil people who sow such injustice and pain seem to reap better things than the ones they've heaped their evil on. I just don't get it.
I can't think of reasons why things that happen to me and others I know that simply cannot be direct result of something bad we've done to others. I don't really know if there are other lives but sometimes I think, in view of the way things go in this one, if I did have other lives I must have been a real bitch to somebody!!!
Anyway, we just keep on living til we die. I do remember two instances when someone made my life miserable, within less than six months their first born child died a horrible death. Did such karmic disaster make me happy? NO it just scared me to death and helped me to think long and hard about how I treat others. I've never been a mean person but there are times I have defended myself and even then I think respect and restraint should be a part of who we are. There've been a few times I wanted to really hurt someone but a few words in personal defense was as far as I ever went, that and a bit of indulgence in vengeful day dreams about bloody noses, rocks through windows and slit tires! Now im wondering
Does Karma get you for day dreams?
