You really mean to tell us that if someone was threatening your life, you
would take whatever physical and/or mental abuse this being had to offer to
satisfy your karma?!?  How touching.  Also, how difficult to believe.

I also thought I would not fight back.  Then I was attacked, and thank whatever
gods you choose to believe in that I had enough self defense training to
disable the attacker and get away. Believe me, I did not enjoy it, and hope I
never have to do it again.  I also hope Lauri never finds herself in a
position where whe has to defend herself against an attacker.  How you, with
your talk of karma can wish anything but good for other people, is indeed a
violation of your own karma.

You get back what you put out, right?
