But what if you are boxed into a corner with no round edges?
Not really,I believe if you do good things,good things usually happen.
thewall2: Not really,I believe if you do good things,good things usually happen.
and vice-versa..call it whatever you will.
KARMA,DESTINY,,,whatever.

KARMA,DESTINY,,,whatever.
true...it does have ALOT to do with what one wants to call itKARMA,DESTINY,,,whatever.
i don't really believe in "karma" per se'...bad things happen to good people all the time...it does'nt mean that you have to blame it on someone or something...it just happens

I agree,one of the greatest guys I know had a freak golf accident a few years back and is partially paralyzed,but he's still one of the most serene ,happy guys around...if you can understand that.
i believe in what goes around comes around maybe karma or not but it does hold true

Why did something like that have to happen to him?
Who knows,but it's his REACTION to his condition which amazes people....a TRUE HERO!

exactly my point...for it to be "karma" he would've had to have done something really bad to someone else...and like i said, it just happens...and he must be a very strong person as well, from what you say...it takes a strong person to over come that kind of situation...thewall2: I agree,one of the greatest guys I know had a freak golf accident a few years back and is partially paralyzed,but he's still one of the most serene ,happy guys around...if you can understand that.
I believe that. I have seen this many times.I think when tragedy strikes. We can appreciate life and what it has to offer a lot more J.

For it to be karma, one would have to step outside of self and see the universe as a whole, not just one single life, one single planet, or one single moment.
"What did he do to deserve it?" is an incomplete question based on a linear view of self.
"How many times in infinity has he done the very same thing over and over that makes him deserve it?" More complete question taking into account events outside of present perception of time as linear.

i'll have to read that afew more times before i get back on that ...sorry bodhi, i'm just a crickett in your world... 
What we choose to project to the universe, be it a negative or positive action, thought or belief will indeed return the initial projection. JMO.

You're not a crickett in my world,you're just a tiny figure on the left side of the computer screen wearing shades.

A cricket becomes a bird becomes a man becomes a god. You'll get there.
Understand that the law of Karma isn't a consciousness, and thus doesn't concern itself with "deserve". Its a "law". A natural force fundamental to the nature of reality. Myoho renge kyo. Cause and effect are embedded within a larger framework (larger being relative here because the place where these things are "stored" are without dimension as we know them).
Buddha sat before a wall, and when he rose he was Enlightened.
Is the wall just a set of separate bricks, or is it a unified whole? The answer is: both. The wall would not exist without the bricks, but the bricks would serve no purpose without the wall. They exist as a resonance between their individual natures.
