I don't want to attract any bad karma

[teenagebambam]

but I REALLY enjoy seeing people like Meg Whitman, Rick Sanchez, et al revealing their true natures and seemingly incapable of stopping themselves.

1. That's not attracting bad anything

It's truth coming out. Get used to it, as I think it will be happening a lot more often.

2. Wow, that's a really good point : "incapable of stopping themselves"

They DO seem truly unable to restrain themselves -- which is a GOOD thing, obviously. We need the truth to come to light about people, about systems, about everything.

It's not just that the -- "whatevers" (I can't even think of a name/label any more)-- are getting crazier and meaner and more spiteful, they can't seem to stop themselves! :rofl:

They're drowning in their own fear and mean-spiritedness, flailing as they get sucked under to face the consequences of their actions and behavior.

So interesting.

3. Exactly what Pluto does

Remember, we are also vehicles through which "bad karma" is returned to others. Even if our inentions are very positive.

4. Yes, I wonder about mean people and their karma.

I have two ex husbands who were mentally and emotionally cruel to me, in different ways.

I caught up with the first one at his brother's memorial service last year. Hadn't seen him in thirty years. We had a really bad quickie marriage in college. He was a Reform Jew. Became a Christian, is getting a Master's degree to become a Methodist minister, and is actually helping people. It does my heart good to know he's not a selfish kid anymore. When I saw him and talked to him a while, it felt like two invisible hands pulled my ribs open and a whole lot of pain was released from my heart chakra. It was amazing. I felt that way for a couple of hours.

The second one is a narcissist, and he has not changed. Everything is somebody else's fault, usually mine. He tried to nag me to death and he nagged me into the hospital and chronic pneumonia and a much weakened immune system. Then he said he was embarrassed at work because of my hospital bills and all the insurance money that was paid. He also alleged that I faked it to get sympathy and bribed my doctor to put me in the hospital, all just to make him look bad, because it's all about him and his paranoia. He believes his own BS.

He also tried to bankrupt me during the divorce, and tried to get my father disbarred, during my divorce. My father was nearly 80 years old at the time. I really don't know what he gets out of his negative attitude. It cost him many thousands of dollars for him to file cross-actions in the divorce. In fact, he was specifically told that our daughter's college fund would be destroyed if he went after my parents and they had to spend that money on legal fees. He was warned, and my parents had to liquidate that trust money to fight him. So he got to pay for her college. I did not contribute because I had enough trouble paying him child support. (Yes, women DO pay child support sometimes.) I guess it was more important for him to go after a couple of elderly people than be assured that money would be there for his daughter's college. He did a lot of amazingly horrible things.

We were divorced about twenty years ago.

He is now married to our daughter's kindergarten teacher and bought a house in the next block on my street. I wonder about people like that and their karma.

Fortunately, I met the right guy in 1994 and we've been together ever since. We don't hassle each other just for existing. We don't try to mold the other one into some ideal. I think that's the secret to a good relationship.

6. I've wondered about that too

Just the other day I was walking to my car at work worried that I might have brought about bad Karma by getting off the phone with a lady I know who was just fishing for personal information about my husband's illness, WHILE I WAS AT MY DESK AT WORK. Then I thought about Dick f-ing Cheney and wondered why I worried so much about disappointing a busy-body while he can cause a war that ends God knows how many lives without batting an eye?

I don't know about mean people and their Karma, I'm just glad that I'm not someone terrible that has no conscious, that's about as far as I can go with that. Maybe a lot of us just need to go a bit easier on ourselves. My Dog destroyed the right side of my husband's new chair and she worries about her Karma not at all, LOL; sleeping peacefully under my computer desk as I type, it was us that brought in the oh too enticing chair.

As far as the main thread goes, when people get caught doing bad and get in trouble for it, it really can't be our fault for noticing when they caused the problem that got noticed. Truth getting loud WILL get noticed.

5. Wishing for Truth and Justice isn't bad karma...

No worries, my dear. :)
