The "Lying" Game

Dictionary.com partially defines "lie" as "an intentional violation of truth" and I suspect that if you were to ask me at this very moment my definition of "lie" it would include some vituperatives. However, not willing to risk injuring my karma, I refrain from aforementioned. Nevertheless, I wonder at this thing called "karma" and exactly when I reap the rewards of taking moral high ground on a regular basis? A recent rash of deceptions, injustices, and blatant ethical/moral disobedience leaves me desirous of leaping from my karmic wheel. Except for the occasion when my Mother so lovingly informed me that I couldn't help my emotions because I was "pre-menopausal," I have not been this upset in a while. (And these are really two different species of upset.) On the phone with a friend this morning, I spewed forth my rage, my willingness to abandon the "Duddley Do-Right Bandwagon" that I am on and open up a huge, Texas-sized can of "Whoop-Ass" and let it fountain unhindered over all who come into its path, regardless of innocence, deviousness or stupidity. Unfortunately, I am prevented from this vicious action by that same impluse that drives me to forgive. Drives me to love unconditionally, to say "Thank You," to nurture, to introspect and to strive for oneness.

I practice patience... OHM...
