we tend to consider Karma as essentially a cosmic punitive system
we think of it as this ineluctable force that rights wrongs and ensures that everyone gets a taste of their own medicine
as an extension of that what our Karma grants us is the necessary opportunity to understand ourselves through empathy for others we have affected
it's no coincidence that we recurrently find ourselves on different sides of situations we've previously experienced
both enjoyable and trying
for example, there may have been a time that a friend counted on you, and you let that person down
and then later on you find yourself let down by a friend
we tend to just think that our Karma has presented to punish us for our previous shortcoming
the point, however, isn't just to hurt you because you hurt someone else
that would be vengeance, which the Universe doesn't support
the point is for us to have the opportunity to truly understand how our actions made someone else feel, so that we may learn more agreeable methods of operating
when you find yourself revisiting an experience from a different perspective, be grateful for the more comprehensive view
lesson: things come full circle so that we can see all sides.
I appreciate you Phil
