I saw an episode of Oprah a few years ago about some belief system that was breaking out at the time. I can't actually remember what the belief system was called, but it is irrelevant to this blog post anyway. They believed that if you took a poster board and put pics of all the things you desired on it, that those things would eventually come to you. I remember this one lady said to be careful because she had a picture (of what, I can't remember) of something she wanted but there were also dogs in the picture. I don't remember if she got the thing she actually wanted but she did get the dogs, which were just sort of background additions. They said that lists can also work.
This got me to thinking about diaries. If putting things you want on a poster board or on a list, is supposed to bring them to you, then perhaps putting things that happened to you in a diary should be done with caution. I don't know about the rest of you, but I am a horrible diary keeper. I have started at least a handful of diaries with all intentions on being diligent and writing in them every night... Yea, right! That lasts a week at most before things start breaking down, and within about a month, I usually can't even find the stupid thing when I do think to write in it... And that also brings me to why I would be looking for it in the first place... In my experience, I tended to write all the negative things down and very few, if any, of the positive things down... This brings me back to the belief that a list or board of pics brings you the things you want. Nobody really wants bad things, but if you write down all the bad things that happen, is that acting like some list that brings more bad things? I don't know...

To make this blog entry even more confusing and convoluted... On the subject of Karma... I was thinking that it seems kind of disrespectful to write anything negative on any kind of paper.. Why? Because if everyone and everything is connected, then paper, which is made of trees, is connected to everyone and everything as well.. so in writing something negative, it is like throwing a negative pebble into the world with a pen/pencil (pencils too, are made with wood) and paper.. Ok, so then I thought, maybe on a computer... Which, for personal use only, might not be as bad.. However, posting it to a community site, like Facebook or something, is just as bad and maybe even more so... At least a diary, even with the negative pebble, is not reaching people to where they are actually aware of it.... But then there is a dishonesty in the diary because you are affecting the world with your negative pebble covertly... On top of disrespecting the poor trees (or whatever) that the paper was made from... I say, just don't write anything negative... lol... like I am innocent of that, myself!!!
!!! GO POSITIVE !!!
