Dictonary of Life

Karma: in Indian religion is the concept of "action" or "deed", understood as that which causes the entire cycle of cause and effect.

So as of late, I have been dealing with some issues on which I really really wish to act out in a negative way on others and situations. I try to handle it the best way and let God and "karma" handle the rest. Let me tell you something about that...IT IS HARD!!! I so badly would like to tell people how I really feel about them and their actions, all the terrible things they are doing and all that I know about the terrible things they have done in the past, how terribly they treat people, how they are so disliked, all the lies they tell-you can see right through them...oh I could go on and on. Why is it that so many "Christians" claim to be just that but are in all reality some of the most horrible people on earth. They treat people terrible, lie, steal, cheat, do and say anything to cover their tracks and to make themselves look better. But claim over and over again that they are religious. I DO NOT understand people like that. I understand, we are all sinners...we all do wrong every day. But most people don't go around claiming to be great Christians either and act the complete opposite all of the time. 

Sin: 1. transgression of divine law: the sin of Adam. 2. any act regarded as such a transgression, especially a willful or deliberate violation of some religious or moral principle. 3. any reprehensible or regrettable action, behavior, lapse, etc.; great fault or offense:

There are so many people in my life that do not go to church at all. But are the first to have your back, lend a hand, not talk about others, not think they are better than the next, don't lie, don't steal, don't cheat...yet they are judged by church goers for being bad people. Then you have some that go to church all the time, involved in church activities and claim to be this holier than thou person but treat people terribly, lie, cheat, steal, talk about others, don't include everyone because of pre-judgements. Its terrible to witness over and over and not say anything. But I have been trying to better myself and not stoop to their level and not open my mouth and say hurtful things back. Ten years ago, yes I would have smarted off probably and made sure they knew how I felt about them and their actions. Now, I'm learning to let things fall into place. And they are starting to...but its taking so much patience.

Patience: 1. the quality of being patient, as the bearing of provocation, annoyance, misfortune, or pain, without complaint, loss of temper, irritation, or the like. 2. an ability or willingness to suppress restlessness or annoyance when confronted with delay: to have patience with a slow learner.

I do not understand people and I never will. I make my mistakes, I do wrong, I am not always right (shh...don't tell Mick that) BUT I own up to my errors and when I hurt someone's feelings I try my  best to apologize and make sure that the person knows that I feel bad and that I shouldn't have done or said what I did. And if I do something wrong, I will try to fix it and make it better and try not to do it again....especially not on purpose. These people I feel are just heartless cowards I fear and I can't change them, you can't change them....they can only change themselves and unfortunately they usually don't want to change.
