Jaded82 Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 I think it's safe to say that most of us who read this forum have been burned once or twice in the past. You hear plenty of people say, "What goes around comes around". I was wondering how true that actually is. Does anyone have any stories about an ex who got their comeuppance? Call it curiosity.
Philosoraptor Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 The karma for an ex who treated you poorly is having to continue to live as a person who would do that to someone. Nothing more is necessary. Don't hope for people to get their "just desserts" but pity them for being the way they are. I know I was treated very poorly by an ex and I feel bad for her as I know she will continue to live the same path and continue to find misery. 1
Winning Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 The only 'karma' I want to see is that I continue to live well and happily and get over my ex completely. What he does is not my concern, even though I wish it were and that he were still in my life. I don't wish him well exactly, but I also certainly don't wish him bad luck. I can't wait until I'm indifferent. That's what I really really want.

Of course I still hope he and my replacement drop down and die in a ditch but that's just me. He used to say his revenge on his ex wife was our living a happy life together - before he screwed me over, treated me like dirt and stamped on my heart!
Mcnulty Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 Karma doesn't bloody exist, except for buddhist readings!! We all do bad things from time to time, some of us get a crap deal out of life, some of us dont...it's all down to chance! My 2 exes are blissfully happy with the guys they left me for...end of...good luck to them and i mean that, because i bear them or anyone else no ill...it comes from losing my health and realizing i have to trat others as i want to be treat....i will try.
k100danny Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 I agree with most of the posts on here. Although I think it depends on what stage you are at too of grief. if you are at the angry stage then you might wish bad things on someone although I have never done this but as far as im aware i havent been cheated on or anything like that or been left for someone else. I wouldn't personally wish any of my ex's had anything bad happen too them, some werent so nice and others it just didnt work out. If they werent a nice person then that is up to them and It will be hard to find happiness and i pity that they cant find happiness in themselves. if it just didnt work out then they are entitled to happiness and you cant punish someone for wanting out if they arent happy. It may seem they did this to hurt you but most people are good people and don't actually want to hurt anyone. I would be upset if something happened to my recent ex at the moment i am still very sad, my ex before that where it ended badly is now one of my friends and i wouldnt like too see bad things happen to her either. as for people further back from relationships I am indifferent. I wont wish bad luck on any person but i dont think i would be upset if they had bad luck unless it was a life threatening ilness and then of course i would feel bad for them as i would anyone.

OK, here I am to kick butt. Oh jeesh, can't be assed. 'Karma' means 'action' - not revenge, justice or come-uppance - Just ACTION. Karma is what YOU do, as well as anyone else. Karma has nothing whatsoever to do with any of the above. Here, read these, This website is extremely informative from a theravada buddhist pov... Then there's this one, for Mahayana perspectives... and buddhanet, which is just, well, huge. if you type 'Karma' in the search box, it brings up diverse buddhanet pages which all give information on Karma.... Mark, inwardly digest and quit calling it karma. because it isn't KARMA!!!!! OK, I'm done!
