As Lynn pointed out,,age allows me to let a lot of headaches just walk on by.
But,,,
If someone purposely hurt my son, I would not be relying on the Authorities to bring justice, nor would I wait for God to direct karma toward that person.
Revenge does have it's rightful place, I don't like saying this & I do ask God to cover this weakness in my soul, but it's there never the less.
Very well put.Quote:

Karma is good, but some times you just can't wait:cool:Quote:

Well, the first couple of years was motivated by that at least before I came of age.
Now, I pity the old and very lonely man.
The last 32 years he has spent without any contact with what should have been his biggest joy in life, his kids.
Karma is a bi****...
Same with me,but on his death bed I let him off the hook,I forgave him and told him I loved him.Quote:

Karma is simply cause & effect. It is not directed by God/s IMHO, tho I always thought a little revenge happened in the following experience.
I was driving to a restaurant with a few people in my car. The truck in front dropped a piece of furniture, a lounge pillow, which I was unable to avoid thus damaging said item. The other driver followed me & when we stopped attempted to pull me out of my window breaking it & tearing my shirt.
A fight would have ensued but he & his co driver were outnumbered . I reported him to the police & was I compensated after a court case. The other driver had priors & received 6 months jail. Of course names & addresses were brought up in court. 6 months later our house was burgled.
The End. ;)
God/s, nature, planetary alignment, dumb coincidence, whatever...it is wonderful to see this phenomena play out...and given enough time, it always seems to.Quote:

That is how it seems to work for me.
Revenge is never the answer or final word...at best it is a coma or a conjunction that precedes retaliation.
sometimes it needs a push,but I wasnt really talking about hate,just revenge for a prank of something funnyQuote:
