On being dogmatic
Your thin end for today:
Someone's Karma ran over my dogma. No shit it did :-)
Karma is one of those things that people in our general culture and society make (sometimes uneasy) jokes about, talk about as something external, consider to be a fact of existence that will only happen to others and frequently dismiss as something that they, personally have no control over. Wouldn't it be nice if that was all true? Shame none of it is :-(
Karma does, of course, depend on a belief in past lives, and therefore future lives as well. Cats are lucky, they get to have 9 of them at once, I guess that's a cat-karma where they don't actually have to actually die 5 times to learn that running in front of a car is a really bad idea. Someone should teach my dog that, stupid bitch that she is. Nushie tried catching cars on the road with her muzzle once, the vet reckons the only reason she has a face left is because she is a shar pei and all the extra padding and wrinkles absorbed the shock. She's a very wrinkly bitch. The rest of her is a bit like that, too.
Anyway, for the sake of debate (not debacle, thanks) let's simply assume that Karma is real, we all have some, some is good and some is bad and that cats are not included in this conversation. Let us also assume that we all have had lifetimes where we are good people doing Good Works and lifetimes where we are monsters capable of all sorts of heinous activities and acts. Let's assume that sometimes we have been male, sometimes we have been female and that in this present incarnation we are likely to meet more than one person who has crossed (and been crossed by) our Path sometime back in the annals of antiquity.
This site HERE has some really interesting info on it. Go Google "karma" sometime for more indepth articles and variations on the theme.
Anyway, as I was saying when I so rudely interruped myself...
I hope I'm racking up heaps and heaps of good stuff this time, I feel like a nice, long holiday somewhere quiet...
So, anyway, who WAS the mongrel that ran over my dog and didn't stop, huh?
