Hello!!!
I am not very clear about karma and all that, but...in spite of being a peaceful person I have also suffered very serious conflicts interrelating with some people whom I should not even have known.
One of them manipulated me economically, and apart from denouncing him to his family and the police, I felt like sending him to make leather band-aids and I think I would have done it (in my mind) .... but he fled the country miserably, and a few years ago he committed suicide after killing his wife... and I am sorry, but I am at peace, the world has one less criminal to suffer.
From another person I took revenge as best I could, we still don't tolerate each other much but luckily we live and work far.... although next week we will be together in an event and maybe I will get the courage and throw some stones at him, and my shoes, and everything in my reach if he provokes me a lot.....😁
But maybe not, and as it has been a good while I will just pretend apathy, coldness and much disinterest in every thing I can say and/or do.
We are not perfect, but we learn to control strong emotions.
I still feel that those people did a lot of damage to my life, personally and professionally.
Although I think the karma thing is true, is it?
I think many people would prefer to present themselves as never having taken out revenge on others but the reality is that most have or will in their life. I think it's a good learning opportunity also, knowing what it's like, the implications and fallout and all; that's how we know what to do (or not do) next time.
I don't really believe in karma to be honest, I prefer action and am happy to undertake it, rather than leaving things in the hands of something no one has ever actually seen. I think karma is a nice way of people passing away the responsibility for action of their own accord...I'm not that way inclined, I do my own work.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Thank you for your insights.
I know I won't throw stones or anything like that...the moment has passed, but I can't forgive...and acting accordingly will always be a good challenge against myself.
As for karma, I just translate it as your good deeds will come back to you and your bad ones too...someone who acts bad not to expect good things...it's simple...that's the karma I'm referring to.
The best way to resolve a conflict will always be to face it, only that with time you will know how to react in a more responsible and consistent way with the nature of your actions.
Forgiveness is sometimes difficult to give, I understand completely. People say that it's a necessity to do so but I disagree because not everyone understands the situation. If forgiveness can't be given though, I think it's smart to make peace with the situation and not let it eat one up from the inside out - also not an easy thing to make a reality.
