Frenchy68 0 #27 May 3, 2005 QuoteWhat about nice people that have crappy things happen to them? How do explain that? (I don't mean me necessarily but have you ever known someone who just has HORRIBLE things happen and they are terrific people?) Yes, I have known such people. And no, I can't explain it. Hence my reluctance to believe in Karma. Being a terrific person does stack the deck in your favor though, but it certainly is not a guarantee against all sort of crap happening to you.

unformed 0 #28 May 3, 2005 Being a good person doesn't give you better luck. You have the same amount of luck as everybody else, and maybe you'll get a worse share than everybody else. However, when you do run into bad luck, you will have people there willing to help you back to your feet. Everybody has crappy things happen to them. Most people just don't talk about it. Get up, deal with it, and life goes on.This ad space for sale. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe in Karma for sure. _______________________________________________ My mind is like a parachute...it functions only when open. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RoysPlayThing 0 #34 May 3, 2005 Okay... if we are talking of "luck"... (maybe I don't have my definition down correctly on Karma).. speaking of luck, of course we have no control or direction... but I think when you do some shitty to someone else, or don't respect someone, or hurt someone on purpose, and are otherwise "mean" you will feel it back and maybe in two folds.. because believe it or not, others see your actions and reciprocate towards them. Just my thoughts through what I've seen... Never do I claim to know a definate answer.. so take what I say as lightly as you should.. _______________________________________________ My mind is like a parachute...it functions only when open.
