Someone from other site has made the following statement, and I love his frankness. I really do, and I feel like I want to share my answer in this site as well.
Quote from someone from other site
" PS: oh i forgot to mention, love is love, money is money, if you want money say you want money ok? Be honest it will heal your heart. I once fell in love with a prostitute and she said to me in the face that she only wanted my money. It suddenly struck me that I was a bloody fool."
This is my answer
I am not ashamed to admit that I used to be a sugar baby supported by a well-off sugar daddy (2011-2013). I married him (an older Belgium man) in 2012 and I separated from him shortly after I went to live with him in Europe.
I am also not ashamed to admit that I was counting on his assets, but everything didn’t go well or according to my plan. I know I was not such a nice person. It’s a long story and I plan to write a memoir, my darker secrets in my love diary from 2005-2010, then from 2011-2018. I may post it here as well.
For over two years my family doctor prescribed medicine for severe anxiety and depression followed by advice from psychiatrists. It seemed like she wanted me to stay on it forever. At one point, I wanted to quit and use only faith healing (spiritual way) but my family doctor told me I should stay on medication otherwise my condition would get worse.
I know love is love, money is money but there is a saying that goes "money isn't everything - love is the other two percent.
I’ve been in situations where I had lots of money to spend but I couldn’t find peace and happiness. Now I am in the opposite position but I feel so much better because I have freedom.
Moreover, I can understand life much better than before and if I had to choose between love, money, or freedom, I would definitely choose freedom. You can feel or be trapped with money or love but you can never be trapped with freedom.
I now realize walking on the ground is much softer than walking on the clouds.

Precisely my point - we've done nothing so there should be no karma to invoke. I was highly amused about 24 hours ago to read one poster who thought that karma meant that, for example, one country would clean up the (assumed) mess created by another country. However we've already had via multiple examples that logic is not one of his strengths. I found his post so amusing I "liked" it twice
As a special treat for you, Matt, I include this hyperlink to an article written by a US Republican party member giving a very, very pessimistic assessment of his party's chances in November, all courtesy of Trump - https://www.spectator.co.uk/2018/09/...-be-surprised/ - he definitely regards it as karma although he doesn't use that word
francois will probably be apoplectic by now at the multiple directions in which this thread has gone

Quite right too.
Yes, Republicans are most likely going to get hammered at the polls in a couple months.
Humanity has a way of always winning out...
How do you see humanity "winning out" against, say, China's surveillance state? https://www.theatlantic.com/internat...llance/552203/
