Bend dont break

As I keep going through things, the more I realize that these things are teaching me.  To be more specific they are giving me experiences through which I gain a new lens  to interpret my reality.  Wow that was a pretty long winded way of saying the more experiences one has, the easier it is to make better and better decisions.  The endless circle.  More experience = better decisions.  Better decisions. = better experiences.  Better experiences = wisdom.  Wisdom is the lens that helps guide us, helps us define who we are and what we believe to be true or not true.  Who we are is so wrapped up in everything we do, think, and say.  Such that it comes out in every form of medium we create.  One of my particular favorites is the third installment of the Matrix trilogy.  Neo wakes up in a subway with no knowledge of how he got there.  He meets three programs, two parents and a child.  The parents have made a deal with a very bad program to save their child from deletion.  The father ends up having a conversation with Neo regarding karma.  He finds himself in the position of having to send his daughter out of the machine world and into the matrix.  Yet even in this circumstance he finds himself grateful.  For karma gave him his wife and daughter and his job in the machine world.  And it is love that compels him to protect that which karma has given him.
Neo finds this a little unsettling, machines, computer programs speaking of love and karma and acting very un-machine like.
How often have we made assumptions about others, or decided that some one is acting very much unlike themselves?
And who are we to determine what some ones karma should be, or how they feel about it, or how they should behave concerning it?
The more I live life, the more I experience life, the more I realize that I don't even have all the answers regarding my own karma.  Not only that, but the more experience I gain the more sympathy I have for what others are going through in their own experiences.
So peace be unto you all and may you find as much solace, purpose, and meaning in your karma as I have found in mine.  And like the palm tree, may you bend when the winds of diversity blow your way.
