Immediate Karma Bill
maigaray originally posted these quotes, but I'm reposting them here. Partially because she mentioned me in the post, but mostly because I believe in Equivalent Trade, that everything that we do will always come back to us someday in one form or another, and that everything has a price not necessarily monetary in value.
"For everything that you desire, there's an equal price to pay."

"Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is Alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange."

Meanwhile, in other news, I went for a checkup last Tuesday due to last week's acidic episode. My tummy continued to hurt for 3 straight days, so a trip to the doctor was in order. Apparently, there's such a thing as Stress-Related Ulcer. My doctor told me to watch what I eat (again) and to eat regularly & not skip meals. Yes, I've been guilty of skipping meals last week to the point of one meal a day just to meet the report quota at work. Three words popped up in my head as he spoke to me: Immediate Karma Bill.
Oh well, at least it's not my hypertension coming back with a vengeance. My BP is still relatively normal, thank you very much.
