Life Lessons and Karmic Judgment

Life Lessons and Karmic Judgment
¤

Outside her tranquil cocoon
 life seemed more sinister and complicated...
 She realized that not everyone
was a salt of the earth bushy
with a heart of gold...
 it was her biggest awakening
and her harshest lesson...
And yet the full impact
of that realization
did not sink in at first...
 as a young woman she continued
to put her faith in humankind
and to believe that everyone deserved
the chance to atone for his or her mistakes...
 and deep down she still believed this...
As a result she met her fair share
of conmen and reprobates...
she has been stalked and terrorized,
beaten and ripped off,
there have been those who took advantage
 of her trusting nature
and many who tried to supplant her incorruptibility
 with their particular brand of depravity and turpitude...
 It was a case of lesson after painful lesson for her...
 but she stuck to her own personal credo
 to do no harm
and eventually became more perceptive
of the human race
she learnt how to pick her friends
 She knows now who and what to look for
and what to avoid...

She knew that if honesty was her mantra
then there were times she had failed
 but honesty and ‘do no harm’ did not
 always harmonize with each other
 and there had been times when to do no harm
she had been forced to be dishonest...
 This was her cross to bear
and she waited karma’s judgment
with stoic resignation...
 In the meantime she endeavoured
to amend the karmic balance in her life,
 past present and future
and day-by-day practiced being better person;
