Today i was talking to someone who has been feigning emotion and lying to me a lot. Usually i just let this person get on with it, but today i just thought, carry on false friend, because what goes around comes around. All my life i have had moments like this when people come into my life, hurt me in one way or another and something terrible happens to them , not immediately but in the successive years. Anyone else had this? It is quite a striking feature of my life....

Yup, its the karma thing. I do belive whenever we or anybody that had done something either bad or good will deserve the same amount of the goodness or bad things that they did. It a matter of universe said that what goes a round comes around. It happens to almost everybody and myself. Once there was a friend of mine was borrowing me some money. He gave his sweet words but never he didn't kept it well and I was left without my money. Its upset me but as life has to goes on I still can survive and okay. Just after a few year I heard that this guy was cheated by one of his friend by the twice amount that I loaned to him. This really hits him hard and was hospitalised for heart attack and some more sickness. I guess in a way I didn't get my money back but someone did the same thing he did for me and worst. From that I learned that don't ever try to do bad things to others cause we might not know what will hit us in the future.

Hi Eskarena, I wonder if these people realise that by being like this they are infact writing out their own punishment for the future. I do believe this very much. No need for revenge when betrayed as they get it all back and more further down the line don't they. Huggles. Ellie :D

you are so right, revenge is not ours, it is all in the make up of the universe, and certainly things happen that i have no explanation for blessed be

Funny thing I actually believe in it, but haven't seen proof of it so far. Up to know the "waht goes around comes around" has happened only to me - even though I don't usually do things that will grant me the coming around part. But it seems that the smallest thing, brings it on. ON the other hand, I haven't seen people that did me wrong getting their " comes around" part. But maybe they do, I haven't just seen it:)

Yes, I think I do. Everything seems to be circular and paradoxical. If we keep going to the east, we'll end up in the west. So, if we think something loving, loving-ness will eventually come back to us, and the same with something hateful. I have often seem people who are constantly critical of others, and they are rarely happy because to criticise they must take that person into their awareness and criticise part of their own awareness, which is really part of themselves. Do it too often and it may become total.

I do believe in karma, however, I couldn't resist but add to the trauma they feel when what they've done has returned to them. I usually don't make steps to take revenge, however, I just couldn't stop myself from adding to their pain when their karma comes looking for them. I've done that a lot of times in my life now.

I have an example of karma for you. A friend of mine used to be beaten regularly by her parents. she also wan't allowed to leave the house unless they were off work (so that they could follow her). when i found out, my first thought was "karma will make them her play thing!" her mother had her leg cut off above the thigh two days after she caused her daughter to have a nervous breakdown.

I believe in that adage 100%. That is why I also believe in the quotation "Vengeance is mine saith the Lord".

I believe strongly in this addage, as I have seen it happen in my life. There was a person that stole money from me once. I did nothing except to mention to them the next time I saw them that I hoped they were happy with what they got, and they wouldn't have a second chance to do that. The following week I found money on the ground, in a dryer at the laundromat, and got a surprise check from school. The person that stole from me got into a bad fight with someone else. What goes around does come around, quickly.

I do believe that what goes around comes around.Life gives back what we have given it so if we do bad things of course bad things will happen but if we do good good things happen. For me life is what you make it so better make it good for you to have a good life.

I truly believe in karma. People have come into my life and hurt me and then some. Now they are "reaping what they sow" as my grandma say. That is the reason why I do not set out to hurt others because I know if I do I will get ome serious payback in the end.

Yes, I'm a firm believer that you reap what you sow. That is why we must be careful how we treat people in live because it comes back us. That is why we should try our best to be kind to everyone.

Hi, Oh, yeah, I do believe in this. I have seen it to omany times to count! I can see it in my own life. It usualy sucks to be on the receiving end of karma, as I have learned that sometimes the coming around part is three times as bad as the going around. Howeveer, you do reap what you sowe.

Yes, yes, yes.. I do believe that this statment is so true. What goes around always comes back around!! That is just how life goes! You can't go around doing dirty/bad things to people that you supposedly care about or not. And then think that you will get all the riches of the world. That makes no since at all, and people who think that way deserve to get whats comming to them!!
