The Law of Karma...

... In Buddhist teaching, the law of karma, says only this:
`for every event that occurs, there will follow another event
whose existence was caused by the first,
and this second event will be pleasant or unpleasant
according as its cause was skillful or unskillful.'
A skillful event is one that is not accompanied by craving,
resistance or delusions;
an unskillful event is one that is accompanied by any one of those things.
(aka:AGENDA)
(Events are not skillful in themselves,
but are so called only in virtue of the mental events that occur with them.)

Therefore,
the law of Karma teaches that responsibility for unskillful actions
is born by the person who commits them.

I wonder to myself if, although this is true, he even knows of it's truth
and/or it's effect it's currently having on both our lives,
be they separate for the time being.

If he can't feel it, how is it that I can't escape it?

Guess I'll have to refer to the old adage:
"boys will be boys..."
even if the boy in question, on paper, is actually an adult.

And if that's where I'm headed,
does that then mean that I should follow through with another old favorite?
"Sticks & stones... etc." ?

Thanks Muddy, but personally I'll pass on your 'games'
Since it takes two to play,
you're on your own & have been for over 3 months.
By the way, how's that game going? Tough to play solo isn't it?
Nah, I'd rather spend my time more constructively...
meditating.
Lord knows SOMEONE should!

And don't worry, I'd never hate you, I don't have it in me to hate...
...all you have to do is apologize & who knew that THAT would be the most difficult thing in the world for you.
For most men...

...why is that?
Will a man,
any man who happens upon this post,
PLEASE comment with an answer?!

I'm truly intrigued...
