No it's just you're having a shit time at the moment, it'll change. If you were a god botherer it would still happen but you'd thank god for giving you these problems to test your faith.

You know deep down that it's all crap.:D

Naaa.......Buddha wouldn't allow that, come on....its all to do with karma, so is probably something to do with a previous life.....? And if you take the pain this time, it should be easier next time round?

No, he's punishing you for drinking red wine & eating jerky!

nah... run of bad luck that all... without belittling your angst, I do think that it has no alternative but to make you re-think everything and what you want from life. This is, however, no reflection on how you have live you life currently..

The one thing I learnt when I went through some crap in 2005 is that bad things happens to nice people occassionally, end of. I don't buy into the thinking that "what comes around goes around" and that is the end of it... if that was the case, then there are plenty of people walking about without a care in the world who should have had a whole lot of bad karma dumped on their shoulders? Its an idealism that makes us feel that we have some sort of control of issues that are plainly out of our hands.

I do, however, believe in "waking up and smelling the coffee" (and cliches apparently! LOL!) so take this time to have a bit of re-think on what *you* want from life and what you are currently getting from it ... I mean this from a non-heavy point of view.. more a reflection on life in general... in other words, could this be a opportunity for you to start up that business that you have always said that you wanted ? (Am talking/typing hypothetically here... I can't recall you mentioning a business idea etc..) but you get my meaning... ??

Oh my! I am rambling.. time to re-water my wine glass my lovely Kporte! ;)
