Confusion_Reigns Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 My mind is on these things lately. I wonder if there’s a difference between these concepts and if so what the difference(s) might be....and how does it all fit together? I’ve always lived my life with the idea that Karma exists but only the one on the receiving end will know they’ve been smacked by karma. Ie: I’ll never know if the guy who broke into my home and stole my things has been smacked by karma…I figure that’s between him and his higher power. Fate…no, not so much. I don’t think anyone’s *fated* to be here or there or what-have-you. Destiny? Yes, I believe in destiny. As in fulfilling one’s purpose for being alive….I do believe in a higher power…some might label “God” and many other names…I think that we are all striving to fulfill this aspect of ourselves. Now, I’m coming to understand the idea of ‘enlightenment’ as a means of us (humans) learning through experience and understanding then applying this knowledge to become…better? …I’m not really sure and am still pondering this idea. It seems to me that life is a series of learning events/experiences that (hopefully) makes us better and more well equipped to *help* others in the future…I know I’ve been helped so much by talking to those who’ve gone before me and so I think that this is a large part of the whole *life* experience. Idk, tho..it’s just a thought rolling around up in my head. And then there’s “the path of least resistance” concept and how does that fit into the whole? Idk. But I do know that sometimes life is easy and sometimes it’s hard. Sometimes the right path is the hardest but sometimes it’s the easiest….how do we ever know what the right path for us is? Or is it just a series of paths with no right or wrong? Idk… Thoughts? Link to post Share on other sites
