Every damn friend that I have IRL is betraying me.

I am a believer that every single action that is done to you is a direct result of your own actions. It may not be clear as day - and will never be, to many. But they are there. Read "As a Man Thinketh", one of the greatest pieces I have ever come across.

Ever notice that the people who seemingly always have "bad" things just magically happen to them share similar traits? It's not "bad luck", as most would have you believe. They invite this into their lives. Once we all understand this, it's MUCH easier to go about correcting it and get all the bad stuff out of our lives.

God, you are annoying.

MOST of the time, I agree.
not things to which you have no control- like rape or illness or car accidents, but other things, yes.

While I beleive that people bring almost everything onto themselves that happens to them - everyone is victims of circumstance at some point in their lives.

To take it to that next 'tantric' the world is a perfect karmic circle bullshit is just that .... fucking bullshit. Somethings happen to people sometimes that have NOTHING to do with their own conduct.

Of course there are completely out of your control things like car accidents. Rape? Well that is totally relative. If it's as random as a car accident (i.e. rapist is hiding behind a wall and says "I'm gonna rape next person that walks by") then yes. But in many cases, no.

And illness, I'm half and half on this. I'm sure there are a group of islanders somewhere who have never seen a sneeze or cough and don't even know what one is, so they never sneeze or cough. (sort of like a story I read recently about how Darwin believed there were some islanders he passed when sailing who did not see his ship b/c they had no concept of what a ship was so they couldn't even comprehend it). Also, I see a TON of people who get sick (not talking cancer here) and it's very clear that it's a physical manifestation of their current state of emotions.

Which is extremely easy and safe and "I'm an innocent victim" mindset that I understand the majority choose to take. That's fine. But it is certainly not my reality, it's yours.

You are such a noodle head.

Sometimes people do shitty things. You and I don't control everyone else and our total environments. I'm sure no one ever did anything shitty to you, because you are a wise, sage buddhist monk.

Give everyone a break with your pendantic ramblings for a day, okay.

P.S. -- for the damn buddhists to be so enlightened and perfect, Tibet surely did't see the world treating them perfectly, did it?

HR - you're still on ignore, so I don't know what you typed there. I assume it was an attack on me with some juvenile insults and probably a few "woe is me" comments.

I haven't read this thread, everything I have been typing here has NOTHING to do with you. I would never try to better your life.
