If prayer worked....
@gemswinc if karma worked too… 😑
@MotherDucker @gemswinc Karma works fine. It's just that people think karma means something other than what it does.
@AskTheDevil I would just like to see it, before I die. In fact, possibly seeing it happen strengthens my will to live longer. Other than that, good life, I'm ready @MotherDucker
@gemswinc @MotherDucker Now, the fact that you feel that way, and someone did something that causes you to feel that way - the ripples of attachment and connection that happen when someone causes changes in the world, that's karma.
When all those ripples bounce back to where they started, that is a karmic cycle.
TFG has generated a lot of "bad" karma. But bad karma doesn't go find a person and punish them. It impacts all the people it touches, including the source. That's what makes it karma.
@AskTheDevil Do you have a resource which you can link? Karma is not a personal proposition? Of course someone's evil affects us all, but is that the same as personal Karma?
@gemswinc That's the thing about karma. It isn't ever just personal. It is about attachments and interactions. Your karma is karma when it is between you and something or someone outside you. It is attachment.
It's ony personal in that you started it, and it also impacts you.
@AskTheDevil I know it’s not, but your avi reminds me of the logo on fire trucks. Wrong colors though.
@poemblaze Ha ha! It is the symbol of the Blue Lanterns, from DC superhero comics.
The Green Lanterns use the light of courage or will, the red ones use anger, indigo is compassion, and blue lanterns represent hope.
(They do other colors, but those are the ones I've seen represented here on CoSo)
@poemblaze They did a whole pile of stories where there were all different colors. At the beginning, it was just the green ones, then some bad guys showed up with yellow rings (representing fear), purple ones for passion/love then later there was a whole rainbow.
