Last night the soldier and I were discussing our views on karma, comeuppance, the idea of what goes around comes around and so forth. He has very firm ideas around all this which makes him interesting to talk to. Upside of Saturn you could say. It’s like talking to someone who has some authority and is willing to stand on it.

He is of the opinion he’s got a hard road to hoe due bad deeds in past lives and we got to talking about just exactly what it is that constitutes a bad deed. Is it keeping the dollar when a clerk miscounts your change or something much worse? He expressed his ideas on this and at one point used a word that really pricked up my ears. “Anguish”.

Snapdragon asks on The Day The Police Came To Get Me also around the bad things that tend to happen to me.

“Elsa, do you believe in past lives? (not sure that I do) I’m just wondering if you chalk it up to your chart, or to karma, or what?”

Do people get what they deserve? This question came up in the comments on the video Why Do People Try To Block Other People’s Happiness? We discussed this last year…

Jupiter in Sagittarius… comparing perspectives. This is the soldier and I talking last night:

“Yeah, I wrote about justice on my blog. Our different views. Or our different experience is more like it. You see justice delivered and I frequently see the opposite.”

Speaking of karma (in the comments on the last blog), recently I was writing to HQ about the soldier. He hates injustice and he strongly believes things get put right eventually. He thinks it can take a long time but he’s seen it come around too many times to think it won’t come around eventually.

Now I have not had the same experience. And it will be interesting to see if this changes at this point where our lives have intersected (again) or not. But as for current, I surprised myself by calling my life “a portrait of injustice” in my mail to HQ.

And he didn’t respond, or at least he hasn’t yet but this has been my absolute experience. I have seen very little come around! In fact I have seen virtually nothing come around (in my personal life) and many years ago I dealt with this by expanding the window. You know. There is always next life, right?

Well maybe there is. Or maybe some people just get to walk. I don’t know and really I don’t care. I used to care mightily but gave up in the early 90′s when all those planets lined up in Capricorn and I found out how little I had to do with anything.

Now I will say I do see it come around in other people’s lives. For example one of my friends was recently betrayed and I can see the universe setting up to pound the perps into the ever-lovin’ ground, but my life? I think people walk all the time. They just do.

What is your experience with this? What have you observed and how do you feel about it?
