"Karma"

Do you believe in Karma?
Before we go further into this, this is the web definition for the word "Karma":
In Hindu belief where the term originated, Karma is the idea that the good and evil a person does will return either in this life or in a later one. Among Pagans, the theory is that whatever negative or positive energies one sends out will come back to the sender in like kind. Karma is the belief system that is similar to the saying "what goes around, comes around".
As for the "Law of Karma":
In Buddhist teaching, the law of karma, says only this: `for every event that occurs, there will follow another event whose existence was caused by the first, and this second event will be pleasant or unpleasant according as its cause was skillful or unskillful.' A skillful event is one that is not accompanied by craving, resistance or delusions; an unskillful event is one that is accompanied by any one of those things.
Therefore, the law of Karma teaches that responsibility for unskillful actions is born by the person who commits them.
When it comes to my own personal view of this, I strongly agree that in order for this life, with all its beauty and dismays, to be fair, the "Law of Karma" should apply. Otherwise, how can one go on bearing the pain the disappointments form those whom he once loved with the idea that what happened, happened and the right thing to do is to forget it and move on??
I mean seriously, how could one forget the pain, the long nights he/she spent crying from the burning ache of loss and regret? How could they live to see another day if they feel that all that they are easily forgotten?
"Karma" might have been the only way out for me from my recurring pains of loss, seperation and regert..
So now, I'm gonna ask this again: Do you believe in "Karma"?

  1. If you're searching out for something, don't try so hard
    If you're feeling kind of nothing, don't try so hard
    When your problems seem like mountains
    You feel the need to find some answers
    You can leave it for another day... don't try so hard

    But if you fall and take a tumble, it won't be far
    If you fail you mustn't grumble, thank your lucky stars
    Just savour every mouthful, and treasure every moment
    When the storms are raging round you, stay right where you are

    don't try so hard
    don't take it all to heart
    It's only fools they make these rules
    Don't try so hard

    One day you'll be a sergeant major, Oh you'll be so proud
    Screaming out your bloody orders, Hey, but not too loud
    Polish all your shiny buttons, Dress as lamb instead of mutton
    But you never had to try to stand out from the crowd

    what a beautiful world, this is the life for me
    what a beautiful world, it's the simple life for me

    don't try so hard
    don't take it all to heart
    It's only fools - they make these rules
    Don't try so hard
    Don't try so hard

  3. I can't tell you not be afraid... It is a scary life! I just want you to depend on those who you love the most... Not the ones who say they love you because those will walk out on you one day...
