is that it really doesn't matter how mean other people can be. They are just swimming in bad Karma...and
believe me, it will come back to haunt them. your primary responsibility is to YOURSELF , and no one else.
I have also learned that the best revenge is to kill those kind of people with kindness. It totally fucks up their world view,
you can see it in their faces.

In addition...physicist Sir Roger Penrose is discovering that there is a quantum/scientific rational/reward for sending positive
thoughts to those around you. You can google it if you wish. And no, it's not the same old "Power of positive thinking" bullshit.
