Nicely put. I don't thrive on revenge, so I find solace in this belief.




it's not about revenge.... you or I don't determine anybodys karma... karma is what you make of it.. it can work to your advantage as long as you do and live well... I don't expect that all should or would understand it but it is most definetely worth reading up on!!!... In my own case I must repay anyone and everyone back for anything borrowed before I die or I will never feel complete... If I fail I should be prepared to feel the karma in a negative way however that may be.... but the ball is in my court and I have the capability to make my karma good! It's up to me!Wishing somebody badness will never put their karma into effect... there karma works on it's own and nobody controls it... just my opinion of course..

Unfortunately, in my experience, real life doesn't work that way. All too often the
innocent suffer while the guilty get away with it... sad but true.

Karma is a Sanskrit word meaning 'actions'.

There are three types of karma:

1 - Body karma (what we generally consider as 'actions')
2 - Speech karma
3 - Thought karma

When we are born into this world, we inherit karma from our parents (genes, education, behaviour patterns, ...) and from our surroundings (our culture, our nation's history, ...). This forms a complex whole that we end up seeing as our 'self'.

However, according to Buddhism, our 'self' is illusory ('empty') and only exists through the interconnectedness of all things.

The doctrine of karma teaches to be careful about what we do, what we say and even what we think.

Even after we die, the influence of our karma continues, just like fire spreading and consuming one log after another.
