Karma

[B-Mental]

OK, I'm feeling terrible, I struck another bunny on the highway. Nothing I could do, no time to react. My karma is rapidly receding, and at the current rate I'll be lucky to come back as grass.

1.) Any good books to either cheer me up or fix my karma?
2.) Whats your karma up to lately?

I regret to hear of your accident, B-Mental, but, if you could have done nothing to prevent, one can only try to the limit of his/her own abilities. If you could not have swerved in time to miss the bunny, perhaps it happened for a reason (perhaps this seemed the bunny's karma from any past life :D).
For a good book, not only concerning karma, but just plain enlightening, I suggest Breakfast At The Victory: The Mysticism In Ordinary Experiences by James Carse - a very eye-opening book.
As for my karma (if it exists), I have no idea where it shall proceed - difficult to say. Then again, I think I would rather not know.

Regarding your second question... what my karma is up to lately... well, I guess I'm paying for some things I did about a year ago... I guess things are already leveled by know, and once again, "what doesn't kill me makes me stronger", I think... Hope what lies ahead is better than what's left behind

Thanks for the suggestion. I picked it up now I just have to finish some books and find the time to get into it.

So the bunnies are back, this time I was going so slow and a cute little missile bolted in front of me. I don't think I hit him/her, but I flinched so hard that the ribs on my left side hurt for a while. My karma sho' don' need no mo bad knocks.

Sorry to bother anyone, but what IS karma???

[B-Mental]

karma is the belief that what you do in this life will carry over in the next life. I think of it more as the good deeds that you do enhance an aura that surrounds you. On the other hand when you hurt others, or for me even hurting my natural surrounding, you reduce your aura. My guess, from your personality that I see in your post, you have good karma.;)

[samercury]

Thank you ever so much for informing poor ignorant me B-Mental :D........So that's what Karma is. :)


My guess, from your personality that I see in your post, you have good karma.;)

I DO??? :eek: ....Really?

[B-Mental]

Yes, I'm a pretty good judge of karma.:)

[samercury]

That's reassuring.... I think :D

[confused1]

Well there are 2 types of karma..the one you speak of B-Mental and Instant Karma. Instant Karma is when you do something and you pay for it in this lifetime. "What comes around goes around" right? well i think my karma is balanced..good things happen and bad things happen..but not all bad things ARE bad..? without bad would there be no good? life is a balance no matter what it seems like on that day whether it was a "good" day or a "bad" day..you just have to LEARN from your mistakes and be AWARE of what's going on....*PEACE EVERYONE*

JUST REMEMBER: KARMA COMES IN THE FORM OF GOOD AND BAD!!!! ^_^

[B-Mental]

Thanks for the explanation. I would say my instant karma is relatively balanced.

In my area anyway there seems to be certain sections of (rural county roads) where rabbits proliferate, so the locals have actually put up "Rabbit Xing" signs.

I find that going at the speed limit or even under especially at night does nothing for karma, they still leap out at you on the road bound for your tyres it seems, though deer are much more of a concern to me.

Maybe you can invest some of your time into inventing rabbit whistles for your car :)

[starrwriter]

In the American west jackrabbits have no reason to live. They run under your wheels like damn fools and puncture tires, causing high-speed blowouts and endangering human life. And for every one you run over, there's twenty more in the bushes waiting to dart in front of your car. God bless coyotes. They LOVE jackrabbits.

[B-Mental]

Well the whistle is an idea Logos. Where I am there are two species of hare, a smaller gray and then the dreaded jackrabbit. There is an absolute crow's feast on the highway. Its like they decide to cross as soon as a vehicle approaches. The worst was when I passed a poor fellow dragging himself along the tarmac with his front legs, his hind legs dragging uselessly behind. I could practically hear him screaming' "Medic!" in his high pitched bunny voice. (shivers, sniffs, shivers again)
The horror! The horror!:(

Back tires over front of said jackrabbit. Skin and dice into bite-sized pieces. Boil with potatoes, onions, carrots for 1 hour. Voila! Road-kill rabbit stew. (Or a case of tularemia.)

Isn't that an Irish lullabye?
