just make sure you had house fire insurance!! You know, it is kind of funny cause my husband had his truck totaled right after we put in a transmission, his truck was an old ranger and we ended up with a ford explorer, much nicer truck! He was fine..just the truck got totaled. That could of been good luck because we got a nicer car out of it
You getting nicer furniture? I am sorry about the Dog, I am an avid animal lover and advocate for them. Its not "like" your kid, it "was" your kid! Like you said, you didnt mention that in the first part, thats why I said "none died" but you did lose someone, sorry for that Lotso

Thanks for the kind thoughts and words, but I was not looking for sympathy.
I was trying to make a point about luck and unwisely using my own life experiences as a an example.
I just had an old friend read this and she told me, that is was 'lucky' my house burned down, cuz now I have all new stuff...
"Luck" what a weird concept.

You are misunderstanding me Lotso
First......the first part had nothing to do with Karma...You asked if people are lucky or unlucky and I gave my opinion
Second: The second part is about Karma (the car accidents)
Third: you are totally taking what I said out of context. I did mean "oh well, children die" and anyone in here that knows me what I meant. I meant that things happen without explanation. Three kids in our family died from cancer...15,12 and 8
Fourth: I am disabled, I cant work and live in pain everyday yet I feel lucky to have a nice husband and breath when I awaken from a shitty nights sleep. It sucks but that was the hand I was dealt. I was raped and strangled and almost died (it made the front page of the paper) was that bad luck too? No , that was life happening. I lost my mom to cancer at a young age...was that bad luck? No , it was life happening

Agree 100%. No one can compare to someone else unless they've had the same instance happen to them.
I applaud you lots0 because you could have taken everything that has happened to you and turned it around into something completely negative and damaging. Instead you seemed to have kept a straight head on your shoulders and continue to look at life in a positive manner.

babs, I think you have a mis-conception about what Karma is.
Karma is not about retribution, engeance, punishment or reward; karma simply deals with what is. Karma
Ya children die, everyone dies sooner or later, but until you have a child die a senseless death you don't have clue about loss or grief or mourning. BTW - my daughter was pregnant with my grandchild when she was killed by a illegal alien driving a farm truck, so it was really like having a child and a grandchild killed at the same time.
Someone did die in the fire... My dog, I know its only a dog, but I loved him a lot, not to mention I lost everything I owned that I alued... Including all the pictures of my daughter.
The one child left... Ya thats so fucking lucky... He is completly disabled, the no insurance issue is not really a problem, I make a lot of money. The real issue is at 25 his life is over, he will never marry or have children, he will never do a lot of things... And I watch him cry about it and w... | | Read Entire Entry |

Well,
For the man who's house burned down, child killed, irs audit and no insurance for the life altering illness
1. Noone died in the fire
2. Children unfortunately die (my nephew did, (not being smartass)
3. Atleast he has one child left, she choose not have insurance for herself, we are all healthy until something happens
4. IRS audit...That's his fault, the penalties are because he didnt pay what he was suppose to to begin with
My point is....Luck is about free will of the mind combined with karma. I hate when people say (my husband does this)" soandso is so lucky, did you see their new house?" that isnt luck, its called not spending money at the bar and saving for where you want to live!
What goes around comes around, another example:
Someone hit my car (the damage was about $1000) My car was old and I wasnt gonna keep it much longer. She wasnt the nicest person and it was her fault, it was in the city and 45 min from home. I... | | Read Entire Entry |

One mans 21 year old daughter gets killed in car wreck, his house burns down and the insurance company won't pay up, his only surviving child comes down with a terrible life altering disease (no insurance because the child was 23 and seemed in good health), a full IRS audit with lots of penalties, all in two years.... Is that bad luck or what?
I take it the only surviving child is still here?
Then it's good luck!

yes, Matthew and BingoT are 100% right, it's important to think positively.
I've achieved a lot of goals that were unbelievable for my friends several years ago, but I always knew and believed that I would archive them, and always thought positively.

If you don't believe it will happen then it never will, not because of luck, but because you make it not happen by already deciding it wont.
It is so important to always think positively!
..agreed!!!

Bad things happen to good people, and even sh*t-heads can win the random spins. It's funny how we westerners have only latched onto a small part, a ery small part of what karma is... cum-uppance, goes round comes round. One thing I know from past experience about karma... if I respond to fear and anger with love and compassion I am content, and the person I am interacting with is usually no longer angry or afraid. I created good karma... weeeeee!
Life is not fair, and we got nothing comin from it. I see the glass completely full even if half of it is air and the other half water. Being from the States I have been ery fortunate in terms of food, shelter, security, and coming from a loving family I was fortunate that way as well. I've had disaster, calamity, crisis and opportunity in full measures, and other than direct cause and effect situations <put hand on burner, get burned> none of those things are related to each other even in the cosmic scheme of things.

I am saying Bull Shit to the concept of "luck" or "karma", in any context.
Life is random... just like a deck of well shuffled cards.
The trick is making the best of the hand your dealt.

Can I say this too I was joking.
Lots of people do this positive Karma thing around me.
And I tell them to stick that Karma thing somewhere else.
It all comes down to pure luck.

I believe that everything depends on people, if they want they will be lucky, healthy, rich and etc. Every man can achieve everything. It's important to believe. Our brain can make impossible.

Apparently the phrase "you make your own luck" is a good philisophy to live by because they determined that people with a better outlook on things, people who were more confident, sociable, etc..." were far more lucky than those who weren't.
