Appropriate illnesses...
I wonder about kharma (often thanks to the show My Name is Earl!). I do believe that you reap what you sow but I also wonder how we get what we deserve in other ways.
I know someone who finds humor in cutting other people down, people commented that he is chauvenistic bordering on misogynistic. Whether in private or publicly, he loved to be a Negative Ned. Now he has mouth cancer. While I would never wish cancer or serious illness upon anyone, I find it somewhat fitting for him considering all of the viciousness he spewed forth. :Tantrum:
Thinking of that made me wonder how appropriate my stroke was for me - in what way could I have deserved this? Because I thought people were wasting their bodies by not eating healthy and exercising (rather self-righteous of me)? Because I didn't use my body for its full potential (wasteful on my part)? Because I didn't take care of the heart situation earlier (neglectful)? Is it ridiculous to think in these terms?
