Topic: Karma and Reaping What You've Sown | |
---|---|
I learned at a very early age about treating people with respect. I command it because i deserve it. You do not lie to people, you do not take what doesn't belong to you, you do not fabricate stories to offend someone, you do not make fun of the unfortunate, You help people when you can, you be a man/woman and you stand for what is right. These things were instilled upon me by mt father and grandfather, My mother and grandmother. I was fortunate to come from a decent God fearing family, now i told you that to tell you this....
In late October 05, My home was broken into. They took all my guitars, three of which were 30 years old and bought by my father, the others were paid for by me. They also took all my guns, all toll to the tune of fifteen thousand dollars. So, i'm sitting on the couch, my g/f comes over, my mom, and her husband....I'm in total disbelief at what has happened and my g/f says "it's karma baby" Karma??????for what? I have never ever done anything to hurt someone like this. Needless to say we are no longer a couple.I have a bit more pride than that. Despite having all the serial numbers, nothing has been recovered. Will it be Karma? or Gods will.....one way or another...Whoever did this will pay....I may never know...but it will bite i'm confident of that. |

It's interesting that if someone could "feel" and experience the pain they've caused others, that would be true justice. If thats the case I hope A lot of ppl who gave me so much pain are visited by Karma for the rest of there lives! |

I, for one, don't believe that many persons who were victimized or harmed in some way deserved it. Many times we do NOT deserve what may befall us, and it is not karma in action. I DO believe, that for those who perpetrate evil deeds on the other hand, will at some point pay for those misdeeds. |

We've all heard the saying, "What Goes Around Comes Around." And the other, "You Reap what you Sow." Sometimes, we are given the opportunity to see Karma in action....sometimes we are able to witness someone reaping what they've sown. These phrases are often what we tell ourselves and others when we've been wronged in some way. It gives us some comfort... and hope that justice will prevail in the end...... Who among us has stories to share of how Karma played a role in their lives or those they know? never seems to happen for me, it seems the people who have wronged me always seem happy... That was pretty much what I was thinking as I'm reading this thread. The more a person hurts me, the better their life starts to turn. I keep wondering if I was just that rotten in a past life. I hate to think that. |

I hate to think that. Moondark, I've often thought of it this way. What WE think may be proper justice may not be anywhere near what will actually make an impact to those who have hurt us. Circumstances can be deceiving, and though some folks appear to be happy, we have no way of knowing what the universe has in store for them.... For instance, if this person's life seems to get better and better...maybe they will get everything they think they ever wanted...and when they least expect it...and poof! Something will happen and they will lose it all...... |

12 years ago, when I bought my house, I remember saying a little prayer that if I got this house, I would give shelter to others when they were down on their luck. I have done this 5 times. Many times during those years, I would find myself in a position where the house needed some kind of repairs I could not afford, trees trimmed, etc.
EVERY time something happened I could not do myself...... the universe brought someone into my life who helped me with it! |
