trustyourself Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Well wondering off on one of my ex rabbit hole thought sessions, I started thinking about Karma. I know some people think that is all rubbish, but I generally believe that the universe has a balance, and people reap what they sow. What are your thoughts on this, and do any people use this as a coping mechanism after being treat badly/dumped by and ex? Link to post Share on other sites
GorillaTheater Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Nope. Sometimes consequences hit, and sometimes they don't. Sometimes the bastards lead a wonderful life, and sometimes the innocent wind up with a crap hand. Generally speaking, we don't get what we "deserve". 6 Link to post Share on other sites
MuddyFootprints Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Karma doesn't reward, nor does it punish. Karma is personal. We have a tendency engage in a little schadenfreude at times. Karma helps us through that. Or not. Link to post Share on other sites
fieldoflavender Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 We can't control what happens to other people. I do think evil people in this world should get their piece coming to them - but we can't control that. Otherwise there would never be crimes that still happen against innocent people. What we can do is sometimes refuse to educate them. I'm not going to educate - they can go making the same mistakes again and again. That's the one thing I can control. Whether they have a bad outcome from that is up to them. Link to post Share on other sites
SammySammy Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I do believe in karma. I believe we reap what we sow. Believe in the law of attraction. What we put out into the universe eventually comes back to us. It may be in a different form, but we never really escape the consequences of our actions - good or bad. I don't use that belief to cope with what others have done to me, but as a precautionary reminder for myself. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
littleblackheart Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 No, but I understand why others would because the idea sounds appealing in principle. I believe in the power of the mindset and taking responsibility for your actions, whether it be accepting what comes to you passively or wanting to change the course of your life actively.

Chilli Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Still head scratching. But l'm pretty sure it's caught up with me once or twice. As for other people , especially the real mthr fkrs of life we all encounter , gotta go with Gorilla, dunno how many of those bastards l've watched walk off into the sunset scot free. Think it must be a luck thing. Link to post Share on other sites

That negative stuff a person puts out there is gonna nip them in the butt eventually. If you do good - good things will happen to you. If you do bad - you lose every darn time. Just me.

Zul Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Well wondering off on one of my ex rabbit hole thought sessions, I started thinking about Karma. I know some people think that is all rubbish, but I generally believe that the universe has a balance, and people reap what they sow. What are your thoughts on this, and do any people use this as a coping mechanism after being treat badly/dumped by and ex? I very much believe in Karma. I laughed when I read "people reap what they sow" because that's exactly what I think to myself, too. Many people do not believe in Karma, but the universe has to have balance. I think many don't believe in Karma because they don't witness it first hand. It could be the most simple of things, or something more complex. My ex was nasty to me, hateful, hurtful and controlling. She basically betrayed me our entire relationship. I know that the Universe will balance out. I trust that her actions will eventually catch up with her. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Bastile Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 (edited) The main time I ever hear about karma is when someone wants revenge on someone else. Which is ironically some of the worst energy you can have in life. I think it's better not to view relationships as heroes and villains, but rather just people looking to get needs met.
