Think about this for a second

#1

I was talking to my brother the other day...And he kinda got sent for a loop, and almost prophetically knew that it was going to happen...

Do you believe that when you have a hunch, and by going against it, or with it, you have changed something..? I have a saying, 'If it can happen, it will happen...' Meaning, that if you are meant o go through a thing, you will go through it no matter what...Even if you are not consciously fighting it, things are rolling the dice for you...

Like say for instance, you reaally don't want to go to this party, you'd rather stay home w/your girl, but she's got to study...You say your head hurts, and she gives you an aspirin...You say you don't have no cash, and your buds come through and say they'll pay your way...You say you don't have shit to wear, but you can go as you are...So, you reluctantly go, end up having fun, and then get pushed into a predicament...

Are some things unavoidable..? If it can happen...It will happen...True or false..?

like in destiny?!

Sort of, yes...

But destiny kind of seems too broad, lofty, and sensationalized... /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> So, there is just the statement...

I think for some things that is the case....

not all things...but I've been in that predicament....

lots of times I've felt like...nah I don't feel like going...then my friends do whatever they can to convince me...I end up going...and have fun....or the other day I stayed at work when I could have gone home....but ended up meeting this cute lil chick that works there...

but other times...I stay home...and I'm just as happy with my decision

So I'm not sure..

Think about this for a second. Last week some time I thought I had lost my uni ID card( you need your ID card if you want to do printing and shit at uni because its like a printing card and ID card in one and you use it to add money to your printing account).

Anyway I had lost my ID card so I went to the office that you go to to get another ID card. It costs $10 bucks. So I pay for it and get my ID card instantly. So Im walking away from there and I m leaving another way I came without even thinking about it. On the way out of the building I hear this lady call out "excuse me " as she too was walking down the stairs. She was limping and asked me if I could carry her books to the bottom of the stairs as they were heavy. So I'm like sure thing. And I take her down to the bottom and all of a sudden I got this urge to take her and her books to where ever she needed to go.

This all was without thinking. On the way there she offers me money. How much was it? $10 bucks. Being the nice guy I'm I refused to take it. Then when we got near where she was supposed to be she offered me another $5 for a cold drink and again I refused. Later that day I was walking home. I have to walk for around 15 minutes from the place where I get of the bus to get home. So I was walking home and I came accorss this intersection and I sorta tripped on something but I didnt fall down.

I looked up and I saw a car turn into the road I was crossing at around 70k's/hr without even looking around. I didnt think of it much at that stage. But a few days later I found my ID card that I had lost.

All this time it was in my wallet BEHIND my licence. A place where i would never put my ID card. And it just flashed me that If that day I had crossed the road... I might have had a accident.

So I think helping that lady that day helped me... just by having this decision that I should help her out. I wasted $10 bucks but in the long run I think i saved my own life.

What you think ?

I believe in Karma more than Destiny - that is, we tend to attract that which we do. So by giving people a good time, we attract those things. Create chaos, get chaos. Sometimes the things we attract are strong enough that they are difficult to avoid.

We had neighbors who had 8 kids. They had just gotten their last two, two teenage girls rescued from Kazakhstan (where being a good looking orphan girl did *not* give great career choices). They needed a new fridge. We ran into a friend who was moving and, out of the blue, asked if we knew anyone who needed a fridge. So we arranged the drop off. Answers to prayers? Karmic payback? But I didn't really want to go to the party where we got the fridge, but was obligated...so...

That story that Deepak told was a great illustator of what I mean...Life comes down to precious seconds man...Taking that money from that lady could have cost you those seconds...

I really do believe that life is a string of simple decisions that we tend to complicate...And as its been said before, its not quite karma, but its close enough...

I have often felt this is the case, and I always try to make good decisions, about 60/40 heart to mind...

But then again when you try make a good decision, you spend a little more time on it and so what do these seconds mean. Its just going around in circles.

We cant comtemplate what will happen so we should make ever decision for what we see and not try to see it in the grand scale of things. I always do what I feel, and its not always an easy choice but Im almost always happy ... even when it turns out horribly wrong. I just decide something is to be learnt but I dont waste my time on it. IF it comes to me then it comes to me. And normally it does.

Oh geez...

I believe in Karma in principle, but not as a science...

Regarding destiny, I have no idea...

This is sort of on topic but not really...There have been a few times in my life where, before I received an award (that I didn't know I'd be receiving), or something like that, I got this eerie feeling that I was going to get it...How did I know? I have no idea...It is probably the closest thing to a supernatural experience in my life...
