Over the past two months i've had a real shit time .

Two friends of mine have died .

I got my head kicked in two weeks ago

And i lose my pride and passion of my mobile phone last night .

But im thinking what have i done in the past years to maybe deserve this .

Have you been touching yourself at night?

Don't sweat it. It's probably the fault of the guy that was you in your past life. Continue your life as usual and enjoy your next life as a zebra.

Karma is a superstition. Look, bad things are going to happen to you in your life and good things are going to happen to you in your life. Probability says that you're going to go through at least one tough spell, just because you were a shit doesn't mean it's 'karma', it's merely a coincidence.

Are you the only person this has happened to? Why I ask is, it was revealing to me when I read of a method which is to look at the bigger picture and see that the world is full of suffering human beings and I was no different. In fact, the things happening to me were not because I 'deserved' it, but because 'shit happens', and if you are human you are going to suffer, period!

Wow i dont know if there is much of anything that you could possibly do (and be alive at this current moment) that would deserve 2 of your friends dying, but just out of curiousity what have you done in the past 2 years that you think might deserve this.

Well put.

In my belief, Karma isn't so much about getting what you deserve, so much as every cause has an effect. So yeah sure, if you have done something bad, something bad will happen to you.

But more so, let me give an example. If a gazelle decides to ignore the presense of a hunting lioness, then the gazelle is attacked by the lioness, then that is karma, cause and effect. The gazelle decided to ignore the lioness, and thus it was eaten.

A superstition? Karma is law. Cause and effect.

Every action has a reaction simple.

Karma is simpy action and reaction on an emotional and energetic conscious level. In which your experience is naturally guided by the law, yet not limited. Because anything that happens at anytime is controlled and created by you.

Just because you go through a bad streak doesn't mean karma exists.

(this is coming from me)

Karma is real not to the extent of what you guys are thinking of. But every action causes a reaction and so on and so on and yes it does come back to you. This also works subconciously too.

I would also say that his 2 friends dying wouldnt be a punishment to HIM, it would be much more of a punishment to those 2 kids.

Also, I really dont believe that there's any cosmic sense of justice that punishes and rewards everyone based on their deeds during their lifetime.

People get away with all kinds of shit and there are plenty of people suffering out there that didnt do a damn thing to deserve it.

Karma is widely misunderstood. However, actions do have consequences. And in my philosophy, there are no victims or villains--we all share responsibility for the state of the world in general, and our own lives are as joyous and meaningful as we choose to make them.

I have no doubt that whoever kicked your head in had his or her reasons--you were not the random victim of some mad head kicker-inner. Losing a phone, or any other possession, is a consequence of mere carelessness--often aided and abetted by the use of drugs.

And people DO die--or more accurately, pass on to another plane of existence. Why take it personally--unless you killed them?
