Karma and other things...
Karma is neither good nor bad. It just is. Wikipedia - Karma
Now this being the case, and it being only something that can be brought on by the gods, we can wish and hope all we want, but the truth is... it just is. And it's not usually prevalent or swift in action. Things take time to procure, to develop. Life takes time to go through it's course.
I have very little I am envious of...I envy the flowers that merely need to grow and bloom. I am jealous of the sun that merely rises and sets. I am envious of the ease of life that seems to surround me. But, when you take a deeper look, the physicality of nature and the energy needed to enduce these seemingly simple and effortless visions, you realize that there is nothing to be jealous of, especially when it comes to the people around us or who have affected us. We are all pebbles in a never ending sea, whose ripples touch one another whether lovingly or brazenly, we cannot escape their effect. So while I may find certain times of disappointment in my own life, it does not make me wish for the falsities or dramatics of the lives of others. Mind you, it's nice to know we all find eachother so interesting, otherwise we'd only have boring FLUFF to write about in our blogs. Oh wait, THIS IS BORING FLUFF!! Anyhow, moving on...
Theft begets theft, lies beget lies, love begets love, giving begets giving, but sometimes, that just isn't so... sometimes life in all it's fullness and abundance or lack therof must be experienced to help us transcend beyond what is two dimensional, and to help us see past the shortcomings of our fellows and ourselves. To help us see the frailty of humanity, of values and of life itself. To help us see past what we can see, hear, touch, taste or smell and to help us get past what we know or think we know. Even ugliness has it's place in this world, it walks in hand with beauty and both admire the other.
It is truly not my place to wish ill on others, but the shortsightedness of being human, I cannot help but feel anger, resentment and frustration to want to express them just as that. Here's hoping we all get it, and get there, no matter what the transgressions either commited against or toward... and that we all, as a family, as a community, as a nation, as a world, as a universe... can stop feeling so thin and begin to regain that spiritual solidity that we were designed for.
