Karma is a Force and a Perspective

They were talking about Karma on the radio this morning. It seemed the 2 women on the radio believed in Karma (what goes around comes around) and the guy just said it was all coincidences.

It made me think.

Karma is a way of looking at incidents that are very coincidental. As the woman host said "Grateful hearts are happy hearts". If you look at a coincidence and take it as good karma rewarding you, it will tend to make you happier than just perceiving it as a simple coincidence. In this way Karma is a Perspective.

But to delve deeper into what Karma is...

Many believe that if you do something good, something good will happen to you in return. But I think it is a bit more complex than that. I don't think that for every good thing there is another, (or likewise for bad things), but rather every good thing you do attracts a little more good karma to you. The more good karma you attract to yourself, the higher your chance of having something good happen to you or for you. It is a force, or aura that builds up around you. I think we begin at a balance and then for every action we do, a little bit of karma, good or bad depending on the action, adds on.

Therefore the more good things you do, the better off you will be because you will attract good karma wherever you go. (Haven't you ever noticed how that genuinely happy person seems to emanate joy? It rubs off on you.)

The karma you carry also affects those around, just as their karma will affect you. If you are surrounded by lots of good karma people, you will tend to feel better -- their good karma rubs off on you, adding good karma to your own. Likewise if you hang around a lot of negative, bad karma people, you have the tendency to feel down yourself.

The world is full of forces. Call them luck, karma, fate what have you. But they all are based on the Yin-Yang philosophy. Good and bad. Positive and Negative. Positives attract positives, and negatives attract negatives. If you try to be a positive person and do good things, positive forces will be more inclined to stay near you. And likewise for negativity.

Ce n'est pas?
