What I know to be true.
Written on May 13, 2008 – 12:54 pm | by shylaa
Truth is the actual state of matter, the actuality of actual existence. The truth is accurate. It is what actually happened, how someones actually feeling, what someone actually said, etc. It’s the opposite of a lie. It’s comming clean. The truth is a fact, it’s reality. It’s accuracy, correctness and exactness.
Sometimes people are presented with a situation where they can accept the truth and deal with it, and live your life on the truth. And sometimes people actually can live their whole life on a lie. A lie is less hurtful, and makes people feel better, for the time being. Once they discover it is a lie, they are hurt. The truth, in many cases, is painful and hard to deal with… this is mostly the reason people rather hear a lie.
I recently learned about The Law of Attraction, I think that this is true. You attract all things that come into your life. If you only think negative, then only negative things will happen to you and you will only get negative things. If you want something, visualize it, act like you already have it, this way, if you stay positive, you will eventually get it.
I know that there is always people who are going to let you down, and people who make you unhappy. You just have to deal with these kinds of stituations and these kinds of people, they probabaly have something going on with themselves. You can confront them and see if everything is okay because this could be a reason they are acting like this.
I know that karma is true. What goes around comes around. This is almost always true. I used to not like my job very much. I always hated working weekends, or just anytime. I would always call in sick or get someone else to take my shift. I remember for almost a whole 2 week schedule I got like 3 other girls to take 3 of my shifts. The next schedule I realized they would be asking for me to repay them by taking one of their shifts. I knew, I couldn’t get out of it. No matter what, if you expect to get, expect to give.
I’m going to talk about another really personal thing that happened to me that had a lot to do with karma. In about September, my really good guy friend started liking this girl in my school. I didn’t mind, I thought it was cute and tried to get her to want to date him. So they started dating, of course, me and my friend started drifting apart and hung out a lot less than we used to. We actually never had time for eachother since they started dating. I actually got pretty close with his new girlfriend and you could pretty much call us best friends. About two weeks before they broke up me and this girl started pretty much hating eachother. We just got really sick of eachother. The broke up in the middle of February and me and her ex started being friends again. But me and her was a whole other story. I treated ehr really badly, for like, a month straight.
I walked away from her every time she tried talking to me. I jsut avidoed her altogether. I don’t know why I did it, I don’t know why I just couldn’t explain to her what was irritating me about her and why i was acting like this. I mean, if i did I could have made everything better and not hurt her so much.
I still wasn’t friends with her by the time Spring Break came around, my ex boyfriend, stayed at my house for half the week of Spring Break, me and him decided to break up together, but I was still preally hurt by it. We stayed friends, but then his parents called and said he had to stay at his cousins house instead of mine. so he went there but I went to go see him the next day. He treated me really badly, and I wanted to know why.
I realized the girl that i had been treating so badly and him had a thing. This just, really sucked. But hey what goes around comes around. So I know that karma is true.
Me and this girl are now pretty good friends again. Forgive and forget.
That’s my story Haha, hope I wasn’t really, really boring.

I agree with some of what you say, but not with other parts of it. I think it is true that you must always think positive and visualize your success. I have learned this a lot with sports. I also don’t agree with thinking of yourself before all others. Do you think parents should think of themselves before their children? Do you think couples who are in love should think of themselves before their partner? In many situations, I think that others should come before ourselves.

Okay so what Mr.Fisher is talking about, I had a part in my post yesterday where I mentioned you should always put your feelings first. I accidently published the post before I finished it.
You do have a really big point there. I guess didn’t really think outside the box on this one. What i was thinking when I said that was like, this is funny but, you can care a lot for someone, and they can seem like they care a lot for you.
You’ll put them before everything, they will be your number one priority and then they will go turn around and do something that is really unfair and you take back ever putting them before anyone else.
I guess I mean if your a teen, and you like a guy or a girl, don’t put them before the people that mean most to you, which is your friends and family. And don’t put them before school, because they are not always going to be there.

Hi Shyla, I think your post was really good. It’s good that you opened up about what you think is really true and also told about your own experience with karma.

Hello Shayla!
How beautiful! Of course you didn’t bore me out! That really taught me SO much, i quite liked that story where you didn’t treat that girl nicely. But i still feel sorry for her!
Sometimes, it is important to lie, like in a dangerous situation. For example, a murderer is after your family and says,” Where’s you damn family girl!? Tell me or you’ll die!” and so in that situation, you must protect your family and lie. If you don’t speak, he’ll kill you. Speak the truth, he’ll kill your family, you next maybe. So lie, make it look real, he’ll follow the steps, get lost, maybe die if you are lucky. But might come after you, so then escape with your family!!
I really enjoyed reading your post, you are right, i agree with what you say. Thanks for sharing!! The truth is important, when it is, you must reveal it to your loved ones. Just hiding it will hurt.
FANTASTIC POST!!!

The law of attraction is a weird solipsistic idea and probably untrue.
Think of it this way. If you believe that the law can bring you any *objective* thing. That is something that anyone else can see, ie A new car or the ability to fly or whatever. Then you could ask for something like “The law of attraction never has or never will work” and then go on acting as if that is true. I know that’s the way I live my life.
If the law of attraction is true…then at some point I’ll be granted that and then nobody will be able to use it.
If the law isn’t true, or can only bring you things that are true “for you”. Then the argument becomes one of what the law can or can not get you.
