Yes I do...I am a Buddhist and that is one of the central tennets of Buddhist philosophy. Karma is not really about revenge, nor is it something that you can get satisfaction on someone else with. Karma is created by a person's thoughts, words and deeds...and while those thoughts, words and deeds may be directed at someone else, the karma is not created as a result of the recipient being hurt, but as an internal result of and on the person who says the word, does the deed or thinks the thought. In fact, Nina, your expressed desire for revenge can be seen as a karma-producing thought/utterance. As the Buddha said:

"Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intention of throwing it at someone. YOU are the one getting burned!"

I have a few people that were in my life that I wonder...my dad's crazy "widow" sitting in the house that my mom loved,my younger sister,who I've tried to have a relationship with.

My oldest brother who is not "allowed" to speak to me,because his wife is worse than the shedevil that Rosanne played.

All of those people I just mentioned are miserable.They have no pleasure in their life,no appreciation for life itself.

So,I feel sorry for them.But,with my siblings,it doesn't make it hurt any less.

Well, I am one to hold a grudge. But, I'm also one to keep my distance when you've done me wrong. I'm thoroughly tired of turning the other cheek...I just want for ONCE for someone to learn their lesson (be it from rudeness, greed or hate).

There are people who walk up to ya' and say just whatever is on their mind...(they are in a foul mood and they wanna' take it out on you or anyone available) I just get so tired of that. No, I'm not saying we all should be skipping around tossin' flowers and hummin' sweet little tunes...

"Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intention of throwing it at someone. YOU are the one getting burned!"

I'LL USE MARBEAR'S SHOVEL INSTEAD..(sorry that was tacky of me)

Okay...so much for this actually being a discussion about karma. I thought that was the original question...my bad.

Hey, I'm not snappin' at ya'....no no no! I just wish that sometimes I could just payback those that treat me like crap...those that get away with murder.

We are all adults here but sometimes I just wanna' pull my leg back and let one fly (my foot...not a toot)right into someone butt or shin.

Snuggles if I snapped at cha', I'm am 100% sorry for it. I'd not meant to come off that way at all.

You forgive me :(

OK It took me like 10x to read this cause I thought I had it all backwards but maybe not..I thought Karma was like if someone does shit to you, you say karma's a bitch. meaning the shit doer will get theirs.

but Chris am I reading right that because say im really have bad feelings for someone who has done something to me, I will be the one who will have bad things happen to me?? if you understand what im trying to spit out.

I don't use a shovel.. only to bury someone, I mean something.. I use a muck rake which thank you I BROKE TODAY.. 2 rakes in a week.. I had to super glue it. Its not in the budget. You ever try to fling poo with a flimsy rake!!!! yah I get hit back lets just say that.
