Great post! I was a victim a few years ago when a supposed friend totaled my car. I am a very forgiving person, but the way she handled the situation was wrong, and it had really hurt me in many ways (emotionaly, financially, etc). I worked hard to try to forgive and let go, but it was a very tough process and every time I thought I was over it, a reminder would come along and show me that I still had anger in my heart.
A few months ago a different friend of mine let me borrow her car. It was raining and I was following someone and the traffic light malfunctioned and it went green/red in a span of 2 cars without any warning and needless to say I ended up totaling her car. In that moment all I could think was "Omg, I am the agressor this time!".
Remembering what I had gone through and knowing that this was my karma for not learning my lesson over 2 years, I quickly worked out a deal with my friend and have since paid her back in full what her car would've been worth before the accident.
And that is one of the ways that karmic cycles work :).
Awesome read and thank very much for sharing it @mscleverclocks! I
