Karma?... Just another old dudes rant

[pearlemae]

To my mind it may be karma good or poor, from a previous incarnation. Perhaps what has happened in a previous existence has caused your spirit/essence to return to this time,life,body in order to learn a lesson/principle that was missed,overlooked ignored in another life. Karma doesn't always have immediate results, some times ones actions or karma may take more than one life to correct.
Namaste blessings to you and your family.

well at least you still have your mind ddaver..,

well at least you still have your mind ddaver..,

you're a good writer, come across as intelligent and self-aware with empathy. Plus you've got the emotional maturity to ask questions and seek help from others...

sorry about the bod but you've got a lot going for you other wise.

Ignorance is bliss, awareness is a burden...

What gets me is what karma has done to me. I don’t have a clue what I did to deserve this fucked up bod. My wife and I screwed a lot. Maybe there’s a finite number for that too, cause I ain’t getting none now. But if karma is real, what did I do to deserve this? I must have fucked-up bad in a previous life or somethin’.

Karma wont make you happy if you dont do bad things - and the other way round.

at this very moment there are cells dying and new ones made we are dying every second,but its only to make way for new life/cells,if things didnt die there could be no possability for growth. they are both neccesary.make every second count by looking at things deeply and with copasion,its your gift to yourself when you live one day like this it dosnt matter when death comes.

agree with that. but its not as easy as it sounds

My take on this: I'm 48, and paying the price for thinking I was bullet proof and teflon coated in my youth. I have a couple titanium plates and screws holding my neck together. I grew up poor in a small town where everyone knew everyone elses business, and my dad was a schizophrenic. I've got 2 ex wives, one a born again bible thumper and the other an alcoholic.

I lost a $60k a year job 2 years ago and now bust my ass for 12 hours a day for shit pay.

But when I'm feeling down about my lot in life, or get a case of the might-have-beens, or should-have-dones, I just watch me an episode or two of Jerry Springer, and suddenly my life doesn't seem so bad after all. After watching those jack holes make fools of themselves on national TV, I feel pretty good about myself.

Life is what you make of it.

Im with welderdan but have to admit I dont think the money is coming back. But food on the table, roof over my head, bed to sleep in. Kids in college (they didnt tell me they had to come back in the summer...) and I'm debt free thank goodness but college is draining me.....

My "career" went bye bye about 3 years ago, what the hey........

Driver carries no cash, he's married........

 

[supermanlives]

you get old you get sick you die. i dont know if i believe in karma at all , but i will probably come back as a spider mite for my belief

 

[Gone Green]

and he's off...

and he's off...

My life is what I make it. It can suck or be great. The single most biggest influence in my life is me and I accept that responsibility. It's what I choose to believe and act on that determines the outcome.

Aging may be part of life, but I believe to a great extent, that I can choose not to become old or sick by staying fit and sharp. I may no longer be a kid, but I believe I can stay young at heart and mind by being grateful for the life I have, independent of anyone's judgment.

Karma is happening all the time. I try not to become too attached to the outcome, and focus more on adding to the pot.

I feel on some level, I always knew this and over the years, when I chose to live this way I never had a reason to say life sucks.

Karma doesn't exist in this life.

God = faith while karma is cause and effect, you don't have to believe it, for it to work. If you want to be part of society, get involved in society. Try to do one kind act to another person every day. Don't expect a quid pro quo. You can't change what you can't change, but you have the ability to change yourself. Try new things, see things from a different perspective. Maybe sativas for indicas. A broken body is no match for an active mind, and you , only you, have the on/off switch...".scrappy

..this is how i see "karma" working.

hitler, got syphilis and was slowly turning totally insane. then he shot himself after having seen all his dreams fail.

buddha, had a bad stomach and died from sickness.
kinda figures, he was a worrier and worriers always have bad stomachs.

knew this bully as a kid, went around beating the crap out of people, then managed to paralyze himself below the waste in a motorcycle accident.



how does karma work for good people?

well, im pretty good.. i love happy people and prefer them that way.
i get angry and shit, but manage to control it for the most part (im quickly not angry)
and so on, definetly not perfect lol, but in general, what i tend to call good people, like me.

so what are the benefits of being good? well, i get loyal friends and family.

people that love me and can (difficult to be around shits, even if they are family or something)

it doesnt give you a good body, it gives you good people.

the body? dunno, maybe your lifestyle choices, maybe its just a "handicap" , you just so advanced a being you need a "handicap" to level the playing field lol..
but personally i think fear creates alot of illnesses.

loving people got more fear, often, they have much more to lose and its easier feeling the mortality of others..well, its something im thinking about, not something conclusive.

but..

that "bad" man, with perfect health?

he might have "friends" but they are shits like him, think they will stick around if he loses his health or money?

gotta ask yourself.

you willing to be cool and rich? if it means only having pieces of shits around?

people like that, dont have a family, dont have true friends and never find love.



hmm, there is one thing good about being sick and poor.

you really, see , quite quickly, who your REAL friends and family are.

and if you dont have any, boy have you been blind and stupid, hanging round there.

casting your seeds in barren soil.

 

[bentom187]

he was of warrior class ,not a participant he never left the palace grounds.
and he took the stale meat,because its all the familiy had to offer,so he didnt insult them,he didnt hold on to this life because its all a transition and natural cycle.

 

[ijim]

Leave the Indica's alone and go with good Sativas. Ive been down quite a few times and a good Sativa always gives me the attitude say goodby to the depressive bullshit and go out and do something.

 

[mpd]

ddaver, I feel for ya'. If you would like an explanation I will be glad to attempt to explain it in terms of my own understanding, but you will have to man up to swallow it. There is nothing more liberating than love and love is based upon truth. I'll be keeping a good thought for you, bubba!

 

[de Morville]

i join ijim
try sativa and stay off the indika

 

[ughmo]

No matter how bad it might be remember one little thing...

It can always be worse! If I wake up, it's a damn good day.

 

[paulo73]

I feel your pain dddaver, i am only 38 and every day i am nearer to have a broken body.
Bad back, liver disease and some other conditions that old age will just make worst does not shows a bright future but every time i find myself thinking , what have i done to deserve this? too often i admit, i try to think in all the other ones in much worst position.
And there are so many, we just need to burst our own little bubble
If i can drop some advice try to get out of the house more often and do something that you love with someone that you love
