Karma

Been watching My Name's Earl. It's a series about karma.

Karma.
What's karma?

Karma is a sum of all that an individual has done, is currently doing and will do. Karma is not about retribution, vengeance, punishment or reward; karma simply deals with what is. The effects of all deeds actively create past, present and future experiences, thus making one responsible for one's own life, and the pain and joy it brings to others. In religions that incorporate reincarnation, karma extends through one's present life and all past and future lives as well. It is cumulative.

The series seemed so real.
Karma acting on us, it just keeps making me feel guilty whenever i did a slight mistake.
Though i am not a religious person nor do i have a religion, but with the little knowledge i have on religions like Christians and Buddhists, i find this the most relevant.
It scares you.
It doesn't say that you'll go to hell if you do something bad. Instead, you're responsible for your own life.
Do something bad, and something bad will happen on you.
That seems more logical then going to heaven or hell. At least, you can see the bad things happening to you.
Yes. I'm crazy. I believe in karma.
Don't you?

On to something else more interesting,
Serendipity.
Is anyone even aware of this word?
No? You really should know this wonderful world.

Serendipity is the effect by which one accidentally discovers something fortunate, especially while looking for something else entirely.

Which reminded me of my physics+chem tuition on saturday. (I'm starting to like the tuition. i know. i'm weird and i go against my thoughts sometimes.)
"Sir, how did they found out about x-ray?"
"by accident"

SERENDIPITY! that's what it is. their intentions were not to find out about x-ray but they found out accidentally while they were actually trying to search for other answers.
Wonderful how these things just work ain't it?
It's fate.. no, it was serendipity...
Now, that's something we should believe in instead of going to hell just because we do not pray to a certain someone that had sacrificed His sin for us.

Probably that's what keeps me from being a depressed shit now and then.
Somehow, karma just tells me that i should be responsible for my life. I should never just take it for granted and waste my life away that easily.
And Serendipity, just kept me going on.
Though it seems stupid to depend on just fate for something to special, it makes me think that there might be something special tomorrow.


If not tomorrow then day after tomorrow and so on. Have faith.


Reminiscence




And i wonder, why we lose friends that were once so precious to us...
As you and I slowly choose separate paths..
And as we grow further and further apart..
Thus, we fade away from each others lives..
You going left, and me going right...
