Posted: 11/5/2005 4:06:33 PM | i do believe what goes around comes around... call it karma call walking down the right path in life... call it whatever you would like....
but what i dont get is... OT : why did you ask your ex if he wanted to have sex with you??? If he is your ex you shouldnt be asking things like that...
ok i did once.... but he was asking for money.. and he had screwed me over in the money lending thing for years... so to put a stop to it ... i said i would if he would have sex... he said no... and he has never asked to borrow money off me again....lol... | |

Posted: 11/5/2005 4:19:00 PM | Karma and 'what goes around comes around' are two different things.
If one understands Karma then they also understand that wishing bad things upon others is bad Karma.
If you believe in Karma you would wish them well and mean it! | |

Posted: 11/5/2005 9:00:33 PM | | A question for all of you people who believe in karma...how do you explain all the shitty things that happen to some of the most wonderful sweetest people in the world while complete ***holes and ****es enjoy so many luxuries. Karma does NOT exist. Life happens. Either you choose to live with a positive or negative attitude. Stubbing a toe after cutting someone off in traffic the day before is the most defunct example of karma I have ever heard. All your karma talk scares me, doesn't anyone besides myself feel total responsiblity for their own actions and like to know that my actions are solely guided by my own free will? | |

Posted: 11/5/2005 9:33:26 PM | I do believe in Karma, and I do believe in personal responsibility. Of course a person is responsible for their actions, and by those actions, usually get what they have coming. If you are waiting to see karma weave it's magic or work on your own time frame, forget about it, karma is simply you get out of life what you put into it.
So as was stated before, you are a negative person, you have negative energy and you get more and more negative stuff going on, or at least it is your perception of the situation.
Thought is the most creative force out there, what we think, we realize.
Also on the question of why bad things happen to good people etc........there is a philosophy that is far more complex than this one component however, "there is neither bad nor good" we impose our own concept or definition of good and bad on situations...the situations themselves just "are". Some incredible tragedies that we cannot even begin to fathom happen daily in this world. Everyone's experience will be different when describing them. For some it could be the end of the world as they know it, for others it is the epiphany that changes their lives forever, same event...different experiences of that event. Okay...way too deep for this moment in time....
As to the OP I have to say I am a bit confused. Why would you stay the night with someone who was treating you with so little respect? That is the question you should be asking yourself. Not whether this guy was out of line, why on earth would you subject yourself to that? (my apologies if you have answered this question already, I raced to the post, now will go back and make sure I didnt miss anything...) | |

Posted: 11/5/2005 9:45:31 PM | In your post, you said he is an EX-BOYFRIEND...it was nice of him to take you out for dinner to say thanks for the ride...but he probably got quiet when you got to his house because he probably wanted you to leave and you didn't take the hint. It sounds like he was direct in telling you he didn't want to have sex...he obviously didn't want to talk with you and told you as much by telling you to shut up all the time.
I hate to say it, but it really does not matter if there is someone else...he is making it plain and clear that he is not interested in you like that anymore.
The real question is why did you stick around if he was so cruel to you? He gave you all the 'time to leave' signals you needed, but you ignored them. What is your pay-off? (By pay off I mean that in order for someone to stick around in a situation, they have to be getting something out of it, emotionally, etc)
It is always easier to point out someone else's behavior, and much more difficult to look at our own part in a situation. What could you have done differently?
BTW...I totally beleive in Karma...What goes around does come around... | |

so let me get this straight
You asked your EX boyfriend to have sex
he said no ...........
so you think he should be hit by a truck ?
ie
you are entitled to sex because you are a woman and not used to getting turned down?
if the roles were reversed and he asked you for sex and you said you had a headache?
that would be cool right ?
cause you are a woman and guys are always looking for sex........
can't handle a bruised ego ?
not used to it?
or maybe he just isn't in to you?
maybe you did something that pissed him off?
maybe you don't shut-up?
did you break up with him in the first place?

Posted: 11/5/2005 11:16:37 PM | thats my thoughts on it too guitarman....
have also wondered... what was you saying for him to say shut up to her... im guessing from the asking if there was someone else in his life which is really non of your business if there was... as you arent going out with each other anymore...
I think there is more behind this story then there is lead to be believed....
all i can think of is this... www.catchhimandkeephim.com and it tells you from a males point of view what they think women do wrong... it might help. | |

Posted: 11/5/2005 11:32:16 PM | I put Karma in the same category as Luck and Religion. They are simply our way of putting order into the chaos that is life. Whether it be actions, odds, or where we came from Humans seem to need order. Simplifying the realities of life into a one word concept will not make life easier.
People are treated badly because other people don't care. Either you can make them care or you can't. That's the extent of Karma.

Posted: 11/5/2005 11:53:57 PM | I'd say I believe in Karma....but if it were true..then I must have killed a priest in a former life! Cuz I have not won the lottery...and goodness is not showered upon me on a daily basis. So I guess I'm with squirrly and the others....we all need to be responsible for our own actions. ;) You are in charge of your own destiny...it's how you handle it that tells who you are. ;)
And for the love of Christ never ask an ex boyfriend if he wants to have sex. He's an ex for a reason right? sheesh. | |

Posted: 11/6/2005 12:08:28 PM | | Karma only affects you if you have a conscience about what you've done . If you honestly felt it was " right to do something wrong " it won't follow you . | |

2. I believe in karma but I also believe in taking things into my own hands and not waiting for karma for revenge, the Easter Bunny for eggs and Santa for material things I want.
3. By wishing for something bad to happen are you not also inviting karma?
4. In your situation, I would be more interested in whether you have brought on good karma by enduring the event than whether he has invited bad karma by what he did to you.
5. I got the impression he is NOW an EX. Wasnt when the story actually happened but not sure this is the case. | |

And that is the difference between Karma and 'what goes around comes around'.
People who depend on Karma to seek revenge really have no understanding of what Karma is.

Posted: 11/6/2005 3:04:24 PM | | Karma is a wonderful thing. I have found in life that most people get what they deserve and you don't have to do a thing. Yes, what goes around comes around. | |

Posted: 11/6/2005 7:37:47 PM | | What goes up, must come down is more of a law of this thing called gravity...not karma. A bit more of a scientific fact than an excuse for mishaps or good fortune. | |

Posted: 11/7/2005 6:31:13 AM | I don't believe in Karma, per se. But I believe that your attitude and behaviors will certainly dictate how life treats you. If you're nice to people and helpful, you'll be more likely to be treated positively.
This is why I smile and say Hi to strangers. And when I win the lottery, it's on. | |
