Love Karma

[Celeste]

Folks---how's your "love karma"?

Have you ever hurt, betrayed or cheated on your significant other---and later received a "karmic" consequence?

Has your significant other ever hurt, betrayed or cheated on you---and then experienced bad "karma"?



Do you believe that what "goes around" also "comes around" in the realm of love?

Karma..

I believe in the principal of the bible which says whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap. So yes I do. I think people don't understand universal laws as many claim they do. People dont realize that we are farmers at our most natural level (we plant seeds constantly) and even though its a principal that has spiritual implications, what you do has a way of coming back to you. When you have been betrayed or have betrayed someone. It may not come back to you in that same suit, but that boomerang will have its own stamp. Sometimes people dont recognize the "payback". That comes from shortsightedness. Yet, some do understand and just grit their teeth in the process. I have never been one to pay someone back. Folks have told me that "man, if it was me, I'd do so and so. Yet, I understand the principal of sowing and reaping. I give folks enough to rope to hang themselves. They usually do.
Relationships are the best and worst teachers of life. One thing I have learned, that if Jesus was betrayed by one of his disciples and denied by another, that I too can be betrayed and decieved by anyone born a woman. Its the just the human condition that causes that kind of pain and deceit. I have been betrayed and let me tell you its a nasty thing to stomach. With time, forgiveness and sometimes space, healing can and does occur if the other is sincere. You may not see that person as the same again. (in some cases, that is bad enough). Whatever, you do I would tell anyone to maintain their integrity and even their ability to love because love covers a multitude of faults or sins. In the realm of love, this is a constant. So yes in any natural relationship Karma is most definitely apart of the package. Its like a man trying to learn about a woman. What her favorite things are, her favorite colors and what not. The man should if he has a soul, makes its his business to present or cater those favorite things. The woman naturally swoons because he took the time to listen and do what she likes. Thats karma. On the otherside if the man cheats on the woman of his affection, he places his self in a catagory with the "all men are dogs syndrome". So he will get treated as such. No more loving, no more conversations that will get beyond his infidelity, no more feathers, just knives reminding him of his transgression. Thats karma. It is what it is.
Stay strong sis and be who you are, regardless of the actions of others. Maintain your ability to plant good seed in your life.

I recently did a female wrong and I've been trying to rectify that. The thing is, I thought I knew what it meant to be a man before this incident happened. After it happened, I went about it the wrong way and she denounced my manhood (me as a person really). I felt really bad about the whole situation and figured that my mentality about the opposite sex has been wrong all along. So, yeah, I believe in love, karma...and as we speak I'm being humbled by it.

Matter of fact, I believe in karma in general.

That's the wonderful thing about karma---it can be changed, based on our own free-will & the choices we make. My experience with "love karma" has usually been "instant" (I get my cause & effect almost immediately, which is rough but for the best). The fact that you recognized your mistake, felt "really bad" about it & have tried to rectify it means you've decided to improve your karma & change your behavior in the future. That's a beautiful thing, ardamus, and I admire you for it. It's this sort of clear thinking that can define not just your "manhood", but your integrity as a PERSON.
