Karma

Há uns dias, numa conversa de amigos, saiu-me que estava a ter uma má semana e que teria de recuperar o meu karma positivo de volta.
Seguiu-se uma risada geral. Tentei explicar o que queria dizer com mau karma e bom karma e que não é nada de transcendente, é muito simples até. E faz sentido. O exemplo que dei foi o de uma mesa cheia de gente mal disposta. Não há bom humor que resista a gente mal disposta. E o oposto também acontece, parece que contagia. Assim sendo, se mantivermos uma atitude positiva perante a vida, é normal que as coisas boas se sucedam, uma atitude negativa, atrai pensamentos negativos e acabamos por receber de volta aquilo que atraímos.
Acreditar que uma coisa vai acontecer é meio caminho andado para que ela aconteça. Mas não há nenhuma entidade divina que vá fazer isso por nós. Portanto, cada indivíduo tem o poder para fazer as coisas acontecerem. Não há nada de sobrenatural nisto. É uma questão de atitude.
Numa pequena pesquisa no google, encontrei este artigo. Muito interessante e que explica tudo aquilo que eu não consegui explicar da melhor maneira.
Still laughing now?

"We are not only accountable for our actions but also our thoughts and words. All actions, good and bad, have their origins in the mind. If you entertain thoughts of anger and hatred, if you indulge in them and allow them to grow, then you will attract that in your life. If you speak harsh and accusing words, or spread gossip, eventually it will come back around to you. Strike out and someone will strike back. There is no way to escape this. If you feel you have been the victim of an unjust act, think back on all the times in your past when you thought you got away with some unpleasant behavior. None of us have lived spotless lives. If you are truly honest with yourself, you will find that you have earned the quality of life you have now, good and bad.

The wonderful part of Karma is that it works in a positive fashion, too. If you spread good, good will return to you. Positive acts work two ways - they help erase past bad Karma and they create good Karma. If you are sincerely kind to other living beings, you will have kindness in your own life. If you can freely be generous, then others will be generous with you. Help and you will be helped. This goes for speech and thoughts, too. Your thinking completely determines who you are. (...)

There is a secret to creating good Karma, however - you must do good without expecting anything in return. This is the ironic aspect of Karma - you only receive good if you don't ask for it. Most of us have seen the way this works in our own lives - when we expect something, it makes us feel somehow impure, as if any good deeds on our part have been contaminated. (...)

These are merely side effects of creating good Karma. Any good acts on our part are really their own reward. Look at it from this perspective: any time you've helped someone in need, hasn't it felt great? It's energizing and uplifting. "
