KARMA-The sum of a person's actions in this and previous states of existence, viewed as deciding their fate in future existences.
For those of you who have read my other writings, you know there was a time I didn't care much about my own life. That being said, I did some not so good things, mostly because I was wasted out of my mind. I would have never done those things sober. Nevertheless my point here is KARMA. When I decided to live differently and not be angry anymore it still took awhile for things to change and begin to go right for me. I had put so many negatives out there KARMA was giving them all back "at" me. For a number of years now I have been putting good out there and helping others - at least trying to - so now some better things are starting ot happen. A book I suggest reading more than once for anyone, especially anyone having problems is called, The Secret, by Rhoda Byrne. Its very helpful. Okay onto my insight.
I live on the top tier of a maximum security prison building. There are two tiers upper and lower. I can sit in my doorway and watch a bank of televisions that hang from the ceiling, and I can look down over the deck. As I have written before, you can learn allot by just watching and listening to others. There are sixty four cells on this deck, thirty two up and thirty two down. Each hold two people. There are seven tables that seat four people each and six televisions. Not much for inmates to do. So most try to get into other people's business. Its like one big soap opera only they call it politicking in here. Merely means most inmates lives are outta of control of which they cant admit. (to being a piece of crap) and rebuilding their lives and trust so they try to control others in here to make themselves feel like they are someone. The government has taken their freedom, they have burnt their bridges in the world, therefore this becomes their world. As I said before, its one big soap opera of drama, mostly evil.
Now I am sitting in my doorway..... I hear a guy say to another guy of the same race, "Hey, did ya hear what happened to so and so yesterday?" The second guy says, "So eff__ing what. If it don't have to do with me personally I don't eff-in care. Leave me out of it." The first guy gets an attitude about his because he is doing life and this is his world. The second fellow is going home in a year.
So....the fellow with the attitude is offended and starts rumors and tells another race bad things about the fellow that offended him with his cocky attitude answer, which let me add this person sports an unusually bad attitude, angry at the world, but also thinks he is better than everyone else.
Shortly after the incident of words and attitudes, two guys (inmates) go into his cell and stab him with a sharpened toothbrush twenty times and start to steel his belongings. He comes out of his cell all bloody and yells, "Aren't any of my people going to help me? They are steeling my stuff." I heard a guy say to him, "If it don't involve us personally, leave us out of it, we eff-in don't care."
Wow, that guy said the same thing twenty minutes earlier!
Point being: When your mean and have a bad attitude and put that out into the air (Universe) KARMA knows it and gives it back. Sometimes sooner than later.
As I mentioned before, KINDNESS doesn't hurt. I am polite and courteous to those whom I disagree with - they can live their lives however they chose because I want to be treated in like manner which brings us to the point of the above story. All this guy had to do was be polite to the first guy and lend an ear for three minutes and then politely bow out. Wouldst have hurt him to donate three minutes of his time even if it were something that didn't interest him. And then all would be well. He would have lent or given courtesy and it would of been returned. But because he has a chip on his shoulder and exhibited an attitude of being better than others, hatred is put out. Therefore this is what KARMA gave back to him.
Hopefully you all can see my point.
Even if you are in a bad mood or not interested is what someone else has to say or their feelings, it doesn't ever hurt to be kind and courteous. Seriously? Will giving a few moments of your time to others hurt you that much? No, and how powerful it comes in return. Positive KARMA, when you need it, will be there for you. Kind of like the movie, "Pay it Forward." Karma is your Universal Bank.
