Through entertainment and media, we are all chasing the "next best thing", whether its a new car or a new fashion statement. We must get it. Tomorrow or next month and the "new in thing" is not going to go away but its irrelevant because we "need" to have it now. Your ideas and thoughts about Karma Meditation is beautiful. The way you describe it does not force the reader to "believe" in it but at the same time a lot of admiration and respect is given. Hence the saying, "what goes around comes around". That is why we really should and need to live life in a more healthy and positive way so that instead of hurting another....we are enriching their lives that much more. Your third point hits home for me a lot because I believe I am a highly compassionate person. It makes me feel amazing and warm inside when I know that I have helped out another asking for nothing in return but to see them smile and feel great about themselves. After a stressful week at work or just everyday "stress buildup", I come to your site and feel at peace with myself and re-energized mentally/emotionally again. Great job DM Very inspiring and insightful piece Daily Minder,
