Karma, in its original definition, is NOT cosmic revenge.

I honestly probably would've handled the incident differently where I found out the untruths being told about me behind my back and was overcome with rage, if I hadn't stopped studying Buddhism. But instead, I was afraid that it had only started to appeal to me because I was losing my mind. I talked about it when I was inpatient in the psych ward and I wanted to throw that whole thing out. Baby with the bathwater.

The root of suffering is desire. Capitalists have appropriated this in order to deprive you and make you the one to blame for desiring in the first place.

It's been two years since I decided I want to go to law school or work in law and no, I'm not any closer. I got a driver's license, and I have friends who swear they found a car for me to buy even though they won't tell me what it is, and are waiting for a title transfer, and that's it. Things go at an agonizingly slow pace when your jobs don't pay you enough. Money speeds things up. Getting money is like pulling teeth because it's not profitable for your bosses to pay you what you're worth.

Where the fuck is the notes count

Christianity I grew up with: Spread the Good News to everyone so they can let Jesus into their hearts and save them from Hell (originally just "death," but that didn't cut the mustard). The Bible is the most important book in the world, and it has language barriers, so you'd better work hard at your missions to teach through it, to save those souls before it's too late.

I used to be peeved by English speakers smushing words together when they type, but now I understand and relent that English is a Germanic language without a committee to keep it pure like a Romance one, which would have its own downsides, and there is no escaping the clusterfuckification.
