Karma

[waynemm]

Although for me there's no scientific proof, I do believe that whatever you put in, comes back to you in some form or another. Be it good or bad. Different people call it different things, but I think in principle it remains the same.

What I'm weary of is to blame things or give credit to Karma, coz of Karma's sake. It's very easy to say "Oh this is because of Karma, or that is because what you've done" warra warra warra. Or something like "you've got bad Karma, that is why this happening" etc.

So, in short, I'm conscious of the existance of some form of Karma, but I won't say I believe in it in that everything that happens is due to Karma.

Hope this makes sense!

Kind of.

I dont' think it quite works out like an equation, but from what I have seen people who are nice and kind and respectful are generally surrounded by the same quality of people, and therefore have a pretty good time of it.

And the assholes seem to attract other assholes.

I agree totally!!

If I can use myself as an example. I'm your typical "nice guy" and I always go the extra mile for friends,family and strangers alike. I don't lie to people, talk behind their backs, or even worse, stab them in the back, cheat etc. I treat them with respect, even if they don't seem to deserve it.

And as you've said, I get surrounded by great people! I've never been stabbed in the back, stolen from, been seriously lied to etc. And most of the people I meet, treat me with respect, and I seem liked by everyone I meet. I've never heard that anything bad has been said behind my back (apart from speculation 'bout my sexuality I guess! ), and if ever I would be in trouble, help will only be at most two phone calls away.

I think Karma and the energetic equation, like attracts like, are sometimes confused.
Your Karmic path is chosen prior to this incarnation so atonements and rewards relate to earlier incarnations, therefore how you act in this life affects the next.
The like attracts like equation, altho in no way scientific proves that a certain amount of magic is involved in everyday life.

I really believe in Karma! I have seen to many ex's getting what they deserve and I didn't have to lift a finger.

As the Ancients used to say:

Your character (like in your personality traits) is your destiny.

It only sounds very simple, but it certainly isn't.

You have to think very carefully about every move of yours. Being 'a good guy' is a good thing. But when does being 'good' equal itself with being 'foolish' and open to exploitation by the others? We know all those 'good guys' around, who never get promoted, and who hardly ever make it. They are 'good'. No one takes them seriously.

Being a smart and wise guy is a good thing, too. However, at some point the wisdom can easily turn into a very manipulative trait, too. (You see it as wise, so that's how it should be, rite?)

Being generous and hospitable are both admirable traits in a man. Do you know, when and where to stop before the others start feeling that the fool and his money part...?

And yet another point: being 'a good guy' brings in a huge benefit of usually being surrounded with other 'good guys' which happens to be very cool. Good as they may be, most of such friends tend to be your 'good weather friends only'. Should something start going seriously wrong in your life and should you really need genuine and serious support and help, most of the 'good guys' will quickly conclude that you must have done something rather awful and that you are now being 'punished' for it. I really would not count too much on their genuine support there.

For my part, I am good with the good but I am very good with the evil, the twisted and the powerful. Of all, the only kind I cannot really suffer are the fools.

Generally, but only because I believe it's all self-fulfilling. If you knwo youd id soemthing wrong, somehow, you're going to make shit for yourself or recognize it and likewise.

 

[playr]

with karma you dont get away with anything

 

[Danugh]

I do, happened to me many an occasion.

Just be good, do good, treat others the way you would like to be treated and all will be well, because not all karma is bad, there is good karma too.
