Actually, what you said made perfect sense. (That's always rather scared me. )

Karma is a word that gets tossed around a lot, mostly by people who don't truly believe in it or understand it.

I do know that it doesn't announce itself when it shows up, whether it be from this life, past lives, or whatever.

Life isn't fair. Life frequently sucks for the best people. Sometimes when you look at some people's lives you're left with the feeling that the Great Whatever dropped the ball. When you look at aspects of your own life you mutter "what in the hell did I ever do to deserve this?" Well...nothing. You did nothing to *deserve* it. Shit just happens.

My faith has a tendency to teach that each incarnation is to help you learn something. Again, no white dove shows up holding a parchment to tell you what the hell that is.

I can't explain or define the "Great Whatever." I just know it isn't me.

I'm oddly comforted by that.
