Comeuppance....aka "bad karma", am I wrong to be "happy" when I see it play out?

[EclipseFour20]

I agree with Weird, "you reap what you sow"..."actions have consequences", and the sum/entirety on one's personal actions--partially decides one's fate.

Shithawk, yes this guy harmed me and those I do/did business with (along with a long list of honest hardworking people). Yes we finally got paid--but that was through a court order after we won the law suit (we were awarded attorney fees so he had to pay both his and our attorneys). But that does not undo the notion he was/is an asshole, constantly told us lies, broke promises/commitments, took advantage of those were weaker....as well made some of our older partners to go through lot of unnecessary stress.

Not to mention, lost opportunities! For the 18 months he held onto our money--we were not able to do other deals...that hurt. So was I harmed...yes, and did he do it on purpose...yes--"what you do comes back to you".

Do I feel bad for him...no--but that is the "complication", as I am generally not a "hater-type" and always wish others good health (even for my enemies)...but not this time, odd. But fuck with my women or my dogs...there will be blood on floor. LOL--not a peace-nik that turns the cheek either.

No such thing as bad karma, there is only karma.

Yeah, your true on that, but the idea of bad karma is more easily understood than trying to explain further. I was taught, or at least I was made to understand that karma is work, action, as in your life's work, the full body of all your thoughts and deeds. I picture it as a scale, piling good deeds onto the one side trying to overcome my weaknesses and deceptions on the other. But some deeds may weigh more than others. If you look inwardly it can be quite unsettling, especially as you get older.

I can't blame you for feeling this way.

It is my default feeling in similar circumstances.

Some people know full well what they are doing is wrong, have seen the other side of things and choose to say fuck you.

Others never get to the see the other side till it is too late, kinda like a smoker who quits after he finds out he has cancer.

I find most people fall into the later category, never understanding humanity from any perspective past base material/sexual ones.

There are many levels of wealth as well as love and they are not limited to sex or ownership of things.

Greed and lust command some people so that they never learn about the human experience that lays beyond.

Seems a real waste of humanity.

"Karma has not one, rather multiple definitions and different meanings. It is a concept whose meaning, importance and scope varies between Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and other traditions that originated in India, and various schools in each of these traditions."


"Different schools of Indologists derive different definitions for the karma concept from ancient Indian texts; their definition is some combination of (1) causality that may be ethical or non-ethical; (2) ethicization, that is good or bad actions have consequences; and (3) rebirth. Other Indologists include in the definition of karma theory as that which explains the present circumstances of an individual with reference to his or her actions in past. These actions may be those in a person's current life, or, in some schools of Indian traditions, possibly actions in their past lives; furthermore, the consequences may result in current life, or a person's future lives."

No such thing as "instant karma" then? DOG-GONE-IT!

I am not a religious man. Nothing, not buhdism, hindu, sihk, chris., islam, none of it. If anything, label me agnostic.

So I can only say what I was taught as a kid in VERY Catholic brain-washing. So I'll always be a "recovering Catholic". Which to me, means I have no idea what's going on about anything.

Yet, I feel very strongly, NO-ONE that has ever lived does either.

But overall, and in many cases, this sage wisdom holds true, and is applicable here too.

A wise man trying to teach the world about love once said: "Judge not, lest YE be judged." And, "Let he without sin cast the first stone." I'll bet other people might see some shit YOU have done unforgivable.

Might be a stretch those adage/quotes appllied to this case I guess. But not much. Still holds true.

I have seen good things happen to bad people. But at the same time, bad things happen to good people. It is what it is.

And everyone is just trying to get through life with what THEY know. You will only think about this, and want to do something about it thinking something you did might make you feel better. But only "fugget-bout-it" and live today will do it.

...I'm so fucking wise. Only wish I myself could be like that.

I think this means "instant Karma" is real

so, you have an appreciation of what you do not know.


"monkey awakened to emptiness"

or, as the western academics say, epistemology..

"what if i told you" that some of the things you consider "religions" are actually intellectual traditions of expressing what you have just said?

of course, few parties seem to be encouraging western audiences to develop an appreciation of these expressions.

heck, i've tried it. people just say, "epistemology, that's a hard, boring made up word i don't care about, you suck for even saying it and you're rude for trying to make people know about it."

 

[waveguide]

it's so fucking hard,


to get people to question the bullshit they've had rammed up their asses since birth



and even when academia produces a word for stoppnig the hideous bullshit process, and i hold it up, and say, "look, a way to stop living in bullshit, but this one's acknowledged by the bullshit itself!"


idiots try to knock it out of my hand and shit all over it.


epistemology, motherfuckers.
