Ramble on Life

Things just seem to work out the way they should. It's not a fatalistic point of view, but I do believe that everything happens the way they were meant to happen. It doesn't absolve anyone of their personal responsibilities, but in a sense no one should get upset when the proverbial sh*t hits the fan.

I think a person's attitude towards life in general will dictate how deeply something will affect them. Regardless of what they appear to be on the outside, their inner disposition will manifest itself in thoughts and actions. Therefore a person's general beliefs, etc. will help to determine how events unfold. Does that make sense? Basically if a person believes in karma, and that by doing good they tip the scales in their favor, then they unconsciously place themselves in situations that would bring about positive results.

For example someone who deals drugs is engaging in negative behavior. By placing themselves in this situation they've automatically increased the likelihood of something bad happening. Therefore when something eventually happens, a person can look at the law of karma and say "Well they deserved it."

This does not mean that bad things don't happen to good people, but I sincerely believe that good people will react to these bad things differently. Everyone is different. Some people will see a challenge whereas some will see loss and despair. Two people will have two distinct reactions to the same negative event.

So why all the philosophizing? No point really, just events and circumstance that sometimes get the mind working ... I guess the way things unfold aren't always what one hopes for, but it is as it should be ... to what might have been and could have been ... but not necessarily should have been.

Either that or this is just a late night ramble brought on by some conversation ... tomorrow can always be a brighter today if you let it.

... and I ramble on ...
