My sister mentioned to me today that she believes in relationship Karma. I personally have always had a strange fascination with karma, because it is almost mathamaticially provable. If you do good, you will be surrounded by good things, and it's bound to return to you.
Without getting too far off of topic, I feel like if you are a good person, you are more than likely to have it returned to you, or if you are really good, you will be able to look over the bad and see nothing but the good.
Anyway... One of the main deciding traits of my sister's belief of relationship karma is how many times you have left someone as compared to how many people have left you. (I am purposfully not using the term dumped because it just seem like that term sucks. I'm sick of people saying it)
So, the main factor is just add up the number of times someone left you and subtract the number of times you have left someone. Personally I am at negative 4. Not what I would consider a 'good' karma. Where does everyone else fall in this? Am I one of the people who is just determined in relationships to make them work or jump ship? Or am I a bad person, wishing evil karma upon myself.
Maybe there should be a catagory of karma for people that just always want to be in motion, and can't be bothered with the people the leave bloody and bruised along the way.

You are NOT a bad person. That much is self-evident, hun.

I was thinking about this post today while taking my final notes in class about puritans... very random...
but I dont think that its how many times you leave someone... I think it's based on the manner in which you left them. This doesn;t necessarily make a person bad because part of finding a person that you are compatible with, means having to let others go even if it means breaking their hearts. I think it's when you play on emotions and are not honest with how you feel is where the so called payback comes from. There has to be balance. I don't think you are a bad person and i don't think that you are being punished. Just always be honest. You can't go wrong.

see... now there's the answer I was looking for
Short, to the point, "don't break people's hearts."
Don't we all feel like we've learned a lesson here?
