So, I got a mozzie bite on my hand a couple of days ago. I actually like to pride myself on having a good attitude towards insect bites, because instead of bitching and moaning about them, and swatting every flying invertebrate I see, I just say that even though I'm suffering a minor annoyance, at least I'm helping to sustain and nourish another living creature. So, you'd think with my good ethos towards this, karma would smile upon me, and leave me relatively unscathed. Alas, this is not the case. The teeny, tiny bite that surfaced a few days ago has grown and grown, spread and spread, and my affected hand is now the equivalent of a swollen, red balloon with equally red and swollen sausages sticking out of it. It's painful as all hell, and if it's much worse by the morning, I'm gonna have to go to hospital, which I really don't want. I know this seems like a pretty petty thing to be complaining about, but hey, this is the whiners section, what were you expecting? Anyway, as I like to think that there are lessons to be learned from every life experience that one has, I'll say that the moral of this story is that life does not owe you anything, and you have to create your own rewards for your good behaviour, rather than assuming that you will be handed them because you have done something good, or that you are immune to the small, everyday tribulations that we all have to go through in order to grow as people.
i am sorry but my low level of intelegence causes me to be confused... are you saying you're now thinking twice about your believe in karmma because of your annoyance of a mozzie bite?
Not exactly, but I'm saying, even if you do believe in karma, you can't expect every positive action to be rewarded with an equally positive action relative to the situation, and that the subsequent good karma that you may experience might be less apparent or straight forward than you'd think it would be.
