   Made me laugh out loud. Doesn’t happen often. Thanks

   Times change. Knowledge increases, hopefully. I just hope I can continue to learn; and, importantly, increase in compassion. :)

   Sorry. I am afraid I can’t parse your response sufficiently to understand your request (?).

   I grew up the same way you did. I did the same things you wrote about. There is a difference between not knowing better and doing dangerous things even when you do. Besides, just because you were fortunate enough to escape ignorance unscathed doesn’t mean everyone did. I didn’t. It is hubris to believe yourself superior when you are merely lucky.

   It’s nice when you’re lucky. Many people aren’t. Me, I don’t want to be the someone who makes someone else unlucky. And, by extention, their loved ones. Luck is a poor first and only defense against real heartbreak and disaster. I don’t want to ever think someone died because I wanted to believe I knew better.

   Yep. You’d think a teacher would answer, “No, of course I don’t mind. Let me know how it works out.”

   While I would agree with you that what most people seem to mean when they say “karma” is pretty vapid stuff, I would point out that one shouldn’t decide the meaning of a term based on those who have (very) poor understanding of that term.

   I know what stands in my way… a strong gag reflex.

    Sorry. I believe I was referring more to what I thinking than what you wrote. I, too, have been owned by many cats and those long before there any sort of public internet.
