Karma is Real

I've been thinking about Karma alot lately. In my view, it's real - it's self inflicted - it is not the Universe teaching you a lesson.

Really, it's You Teaching Yourself a Lesson.

Why do I say this?

Because we know right from wrong. We've been taught from a very young age the difference. Yet, when we do something that we KNOW is wrong, we set ourselves up for a future punishment in some way or another - we cause a Cosmic Inbalance if you will between good and bad, and it will inevitably be corrected.

Unfortunately, we like to use the word Karma as a punishment. I've come across web designers sites lately that at the bottom say something like "don't steal, Karma is Real"..... It sounds like a threat, right? Why do we feel the need to threaten people with something that is self inflicted? Can we truly change someone's mind about doing something wrong by telling them that "karma is going to get you" ?

No, I don't think so. Unfortunately, there are people out there who have no conscience, I've met a few of them.

The Awesome Truth : Live your Life Honestly. Treat Others the Way you want to be treated. Apologize when you do wrong and try to make it right. Follow the Ten Commandments. Live High, Live Mighty, Live Righteously. (J.Mraz). Live without Selfishness. Appreciate the gifts of others: their beauty, talent, kindness, resourcefullness.
