Bad news sometimes travels slowly...but does that mean bad Karma too?

Who believes in Karma?
Well, if you don’t know what it is than how could you believe in it? But I bet you do, i.e. really know.

Karma is defined best as: “1. Hinduism & Buddhism The total effect of a person's actions and conduct during the successive phases of the person's existence, regarded as determining the person's destiny.
2. Fate; destiny.
3. Informal A distinctive aura, atmosphere, or feeling: There's bad karma around the house today.”

With that said, no one can wish bad Karma on anyone, since it doesn’t work that way; according to the above meanings it seems to tell us that it is a done deal from the moment we exist on this plane or perhaps the ones before and after and how we personally act causes bad or good to occur?

And so, when I saw the bad news of a family member and his wife that just so happened to also be estranged from us, not our younger son, by the way, but relatives too, and that their business of only less than a year and a half in existence had succumbed to failure, my heart skipped a beat.
Sadly, I wished in my heart of hearts that it was a shocking thing to see, but no, I sort of expected it.
They chose a business that they had no experience in what-so-ever and that at the time made me wonder why they would do it.
Both had been in the field of education with never ever deviating from their occupations and were happily retired.
And the only experience they had in the business that they opened was being a customer for those types and liked what that was. Believe me when I say starting a business even when you have been to business school and know all the ins and outs is not as easy as it looks, and this is from someone who has been in three different ones with my best always partner Hubby!
When you invest in one with strangers like I know they did, or new friends too, I think, sometimes you are asking for trouble from the get-go, in my opinion.
No one knows each other that well and trust is as much an issue in a business partnership as in a marriage one.
When you have any ownership with your name on it, it is your reputation on the line, so you have to proceed with caution.
It is true that many a divorce has come out of a failed business as many of those businesses have also made those marriages stronger, it’s up to you and you know who.

Any-who, that was what was on my mind today, the fact that such well educated people with tons of money, but the need to have more…(not from teaching money, but from inheritance)
They appeared to want to parley it into a larger amount, for what?
They have three beautiful homes, no mortgages, and travel whenever they want, art work out the wazoo, you name it…
Some people are never ever satiated, thus the need for abundance that the woman in this relationship insists she was deprived of as a child and needs more, more, more… Sadly, when do people in the later end of their sixties know when enough is enough?
I don’t get it.
My need for things perhaps is not the same as others that did not have them as children, some say I was spoiled as a child since I appeared to have whatever I wanted, all right then… perhaps that is why I know when enough is enough too, and more is too much and unnecessary!
Just another un-requested opinion from a life observer.
When you are empty of something you need to fill that space and I suspect that is why so many feel ‘things’ are the answer.
But, in my opinion they are not; for whatever that is worth.

So now instead of making that investment into a larger one, they are now in the other direction of where they didn’t want to be and as I read online about the business they have many angry customers that they owe money to and they are not answering their phone, good grief; could they be out of funds? Nah, they are more resourceful than that, sure they are solvent and they will pay everyone that they owe!

Back to the Karma concept, I myself think that mine was determined for me to be anything but good or bad at any one time in my life’s cycle, got that? It keeps me on my toes to try harder when down and pull myself up. Trying to see the brighter side of things, my cliché expression of making lemonade out of lemons…Why even yesterday’s ridiculous so-called, ‘ordeal’ of dealing with that jewelry store and owner; actually made me feel alive with getting my adrenalin going!

No, I am not of the faith that believes in Karma, but in some ways I do, ya know? Sure you do.
Many people have great Karma all of their lives and everything good appears to happen to them and sure we are all a bit jealous of them, but one day their Karma changes and OOPS they are like the rest of us!
Giggling is not polite in these situations, but go ahead if you too feel the need to do it; after all it is not that mean… and very natural to be that way.
Sort of like now they know how I feel slap in their face of reality!
It is about time…
On that, who was she referring to mysterious thought, allow me to be the first to wish you all a very happy good night and to ask you kindly to count all your blessings and share all your overages and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?
