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?
