Do you believe in karma?

Karma meme

I wholeheartedly believe in karma. What comes around goes around I believe the saying is. But. Big but. There are rules. You can’t be nice to just gain karma, that would be greedy and exploiting the karma system. So no “Oh I’ll be nice so I can get good karma”. It needs to be recognised in hindsight. “Oh I won the lottery, I must of done something good”.

I have a lot of weird superstitions. I can’t stand on certain drains, I do the “If I beat this game then x will happen”. I have no idea why I do that but it can be annoying sometimes!

I used to do it all the time as a kid. Especially playing pool. If I were to pot a certain ball then I would win whatever football match I was playing. Oddly enough by pure coincidence, it worked every now and again.

Do you have any weird rules for karma? or is it just me. Being weird. As usual.

Parental what?

What are your parents values? how do they differ from mine?

I think its safe to say, with my parents, that if you do the exact opposite of what they did then you will turn out ok. Evidence number one, “Mummy I have a headache”, “Swallow this” *hands Valium to a ten-year-old*. Evidence 2, All Catholics are evil and you must be better than them because they are sub-human scum and the pakis too.

They had a very unique parenting system. We moved to quite a remote farm and they were working a lot on the water farm. The staff became family and friends I think they taught me and my brother more about life than our parents. That said, we are alive, damaged, but alive so can’t fault them for that. Some of the stuff they pulled, said and done were incredible. They differ so much from my values in just about every way. Racism and evil Catholics are the big stand-out ones. The hatred that man had for religious folks was insane. I am in no way like this, nor are my children. Everyone is equal, everyone can be who or whatever they want to be. Be good to each other and karma is a very real thing.

Crappy poem #4

Karma

What goes around comes around,
So be kind to everyone you meet.
For if you’re mean, it will return,
And you’ll be the one who’s beaten.

So treat others how you want to be treated,
And you’ll live a life that’s free from regret.
For karma is a powerful force,
And it will always get its due.

How important is spirituality in your life?

I would say that spirituality plays a large part in my life. Be it through silent prayer, cursing the gods or laughing manically as I preach the good word. Okay. Maybe not that last one but religion and spirituality are important to me as I want to do good in the world, karma is largely a factor. Car parking karma works, so it’s a tested model. I let people out or go in front and then magically a spare appears. Karma. Never for gain though, only balance.

I agree that most people would find that a strange way to live your life but I have more. I believe in a god in the sense of something that is far greater than what created the universe, the big bang. I don’t think we are alone and it would be foolish to assume we are. I believe in living a good life. If I can say “I did some good” at the end, I would be happy. You don’t have to go naming schools after me, a simple good deed to another human being is all that is required.

So I guess spirituality is more my beliefs and opinions.

My wife is a roman catholic. S is an atheist and B still believes that god made us but evolution happened. Not proud of my B at all there 😉 You should see my rants from years ago about how lousy faith schools were and that they existed. Freaked me out that people were being taught religion in a normal high school. Totally against that, it should be optional.
