Karma - do you believe ?

[Carvalho Diablo]

Just come round to my Ma's for my dinner, next thing I know I'm being instructed to clean out the fucking drain leading to the kitchen sink !

What the fuck is that all about, eh what ?

Then I wondered, perhaps the Good Lord above has misinterpreted my heavily disguised grief for the King of Pop as perhaps some heartless piss-pulling ?

Perhaps, The Lord blocked the drain and planted that heinous thought in my Ma's heed ? Perhaps it's punishment ? Perhaps it's my pennance ?

Anyhow, the fucking manky drain got me thinking - do any of you lot believe in karma ?

Have any of you fucking reprobates experienced anything, an event which cannot be put down to pure coincidence alone ?

Care to share ?

When aren't you round at your Ma's eating

bunch of cunt's in my old neighbourhood took great pleasure in my folks splitting up a while

now their dad has left their mother and I'm pissing my pants


another woman I know, was a friend of my mothers but when my ma lost her hair due to cancer this woman completely ignored her, she'd cross the road rather than make eye contact. 2 years later her husband got the same form of cancer
I don't take any pleasure from that one, but I can't help thinking what goes around comes around

edit: both my ma and this man beat cancer just so you's know

My ex looked down her nose at me, thought she had it made in the big house i bought worth 1/4million+. I remarried. And she did a year later, she harped on about how wonderful he was, treated her like a princess.
Last year she fucked him off said she didnt love him, ( i said who you having affair with, no one she says) turns out she is (leopards, spots and all that) well the new guy has fucked her off, the kids hate her, she looks like shit and to cap it all my maitenance stops soon, boy do i feel good. Some may call it Karma i call it ComeuppanceyoumingingslagthathashadmorecockthanDav eyCrockrettsrifle.

A bit of apophasis theology is in order here: one cannot define what God is except for what God isn't, and one thing that he is not is being a cunt. Therefore vindictiveness is not to be attributed to ol' God.

I also don't believe in karma. However, I think while what happens to the person is random, the actions that we make can affect what happens in our direction. If we behave like a cunt chances are we'll piss people off, and one day someone may twat us, or find it funny if a misfortune comes their way.

Let's hope that if someone close dies people will be sympathetic, eh?

Carvalho you're asking a lot of questions these days, should we be worried?

[tonk]

I fully believe in it. Knew we weren't gonna win in Athens after our miracle in Istanbul, maybe not karma as such, but sort of a balancing each other out.

That's not karma that's just called "a feeling"

[Torrminator]

I don't believe in any of it. It's just another part of our relentless struggle to explain our existence as beings, a species, and as individuals.

It's make believe, nothing more. The human brain was not designed for, nor is it capable of, understanding the reason for it's own existence.

Quite simply, there is no reason nor explanation for why we are here, other than that we exist because we can (for the time being).

Hold on, in the second paragraph you said the human brain is not capable of understanding the reason for its own existence, then you go on to explain that we exist because we can. Unless you don't have a human brain, then surely the human brain can understand, its just that some choose not to?

I can't see how Karma works.

My granny is on her deathbed. End stage Alzheimers, in a coma, hasn't had fluid of any kind for over a week, on morphine... She's going to die in the next 2-3 days, if not sooner. She was a simple, hardworking, godfearing woman, deeply religious. Mother to 13, granny to 40, greatgranny to 6.

Can't see how on earth she deserved any of this.

Interesting choice of word 'designed; implies that there was a designer, which would contradict your point of there being no reason for our existing. Anything that is designed is for a reason.

Also, if a human brain is incapable of 'understanding the reason for it's own existence' I'm not sure how in the 3rd paragraph you can state with such certainty that there is no reason for our being here? The acknowledgment of the absence of a reason for it's being is an understanding of the reason (or lack thereof) of it's own existence.

In answer to the OP, don't believe in Karma per se, but I think it's our perceptions of events which give it credibility. The reason why I don't believe in it is because there are too many cunts who live the life of riley without consequence and too many people who die young, live in pain etc.

Michael Owen. Got his due Karma.

One shouldn't take the p#ss out of anyone dying really, should they?!. As for Karma? Who know's? I think things can happen to you sometimes and you think , "What have I ever done to anybody?"

I don't tend to go to far into the "What God thinks" contemplative reflection personally. I don't think one can imagine what "God" would think whether they believe in Him or not.

dont want to piss you off here irish so dont take anything the wrong way, but it sounds like she has had a long & hard life, but at the end we have all got to go some way, some slip away in the night peacefully and some hang in there fighting because through their life thats what they were and their body knows nothing else, sounds to me that this is the case and not anything to do with devine power or karma or anything like that, she was simple and hardworking.

Hope she finds peace soon in what ever form it comes

Thanks for all your kind wishes, folks.
My wee girl is a great tonic... She has plenty of hugs for me today. Dunno how I explain it to her but I'll play that by ear. She announced today to me "mammy, you'll be okay"... Tis quite amazing that she can sense somethings up. She's only three :)
