Sa closing sa Bogo Elementary School,13 years ago. Naninda mi ug ice candy ug dougnuts. May nipalit nga lalaki, ako unta mo hatag sa ice candy pero pag tan-aw nako gi chicken pox man. Gabutlog butlog na iyang nawong ug mga bukton. Unya nakatawa ko sa iyang hitsura. Wla gyud nako tuyo-a nga nakatawa ko, ug murag nalain siya. Akong ate baw na ug tan-aw nako. Gidali-dali nako ug liso akong ulo ni Nang Nady ang buang nga nagsuroy suroy atong higayona nga nag mugna sad ug iyang pasundayag. Ug nagkatawa pa gipahon ko sa maong lalaki nga gi chicken pox. Nangutana akong ate shing "ngano nagsige man ka ug katawa?" ni tubag sab ko "kataw-anan man kaayo si Nang Nady" (namakak jud ko). Ug ni ingun si Shing "ay nalang kai klaro kaayo nga gikataw-an to nimo ang gi chicken pox nga nipalit, nanaway jud ka ato". Ug gi kumbinsir jud nako si shing " Dili oi si Nang Nady lagi akong gikataw-an (strike 2 nga pamakak).
Ug ang Karma:
After one week sukad ato, gi chicken pox bitaw ko mas grabe pa ug mas dagko pa nga butlog butlog sa lalaki nga akong gi kataw-an. Wla gud koi gawas gawas sa amo. Gi quarantine nako akong kaugalingon sa kwarto. Naguol gyud ko ug nisamot pa gyud kai gi ingnan ko ni shing " da tan-awa gigabaan nka sa lalaki nga imong gikataw-an". Sa akong kaguol ug kahadlok nga nagabaan ko nag sorry jud ko sa Ginoo, " Lord imo gyud d-i ko gigabaan ato, nakatawa man ko gud dili man gyud mapugngan" sorry kaayo ingna nalang to ang lalaki nga akong gikataw-an nga sorry, ug nagrosary pa jud nga nagluhod atubangan sa altar. Wla ra gyud nako tan-awa akong nawong sa samin kai mahadlok ko. heheheh buanga gyud ato nga experience pero mao tingali to ang gitawag nga karma. Ug ang ebidensya nga nakarma ko mao ang mga uwat sa chicken pox nga maklaro pa hangtod karon. Ug ang kining gasuwat wla pa gyud ni tagam:
3 years after sa closing gihapon sa Bogo Elementary School: Naay lalaki cge gyud ug tutuk ni lory, dayon ni shing, dayon nako. Na uncomfortable gyud ming tulo. Imbis adto sya mo tan-aw sa stage di-in may nanag sayaw ug kanta, dire man sa amoa nag sige ug tan-aw wla nalang mi naka concentrate sa among pagtan-aw sa mga pasundayag. Mao nga lagot na kaayo ko ug si shing, si lory way paki deadma lang niya. Pero ang mga tawo sad nga naa sa among kilid sige sad ug ingun basin manglumay daw (huh? lumay jud). Mao ni suway ug duol si shing pero ni distansya lang siya kai nahadlok man. ug iya gi ingnan " na buang ka?", pero wla man tingali kadungog ang maong lalaki kai padayon man gihapon ug tutuk ni shing, lory nako then vice versa nasad. Ang mga tawo sa kilid lain nasad ug huna huna "unggo daw" patakdan tingali mi (kuyaw sad kaayo ug huna-huna ang mga tawo sa bukid). Mao kai naglagot naman ko, giduol nko ang tawo ug akong gipangutana sa masuk-anon nga tingog " nganong sige man ka ug tan-aw namo? " ug ni ingun ang maong tao " wla oi " , ". Ug akong gi tubag " unsay wala!, bakakon ka!". (maayoha gyud nako mangita ug sayop, may gani iyaha strike one ra ako kai strike two gyud) Ug nilakaw ang maong tawo, nahanaw sa among panan-aw. Si Nanay Lisa gipa konsensya ko gi ingnan ko nga basin daw Ginoo to unya ako lang gikasab-an. Pero ni rason jud ko " dili gyud to Ginoo Nay kai namakak gud to".
Ug kai nahadlok man ko nga ma karma nasad mao nag pray nasad, nagsorry nasad ko sa Ginoo, "please Lord ayaw intawn ko gaba-i parehas sa una."May gani wla nako nakarma.
Karma in Christian Perspective means that God punishes the wicked or those who have done wrong. Thus becoming aware of his/her own faults may lead to guilt feelings. My conscience pinch me oftentimes. A friend told me that it is because of my tendency to obediently follow religious norms that i seemed to live and think idealistically. I tend to judge people whether they are upright or not. I always seek righteousness and view my God as harsh.
In psychological perspective, guilt feelings become unhealthy if secondary responses occur, like depression, perfectionist syndrome and feelings of uneasiness. Guilt is caused by thinking that you have done something wrong. You think you have done something wrong because you judge yourself or someone else judges you.
In Catholic perspective, guilt is felt because God is seen as a God of justice in the sense that He will punish those who deliberately refuse to repent of their wickedness and wrongdoings. Karma is an outbreak of the cry for justice. However, God is believed to be a God of mercy. He takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked and often delays His judgments in the hope of repentance.
To reconcile psychological and catholic perspective:
Human beings are not perfect. We have our areas of weakness and God knows them very well. We stumble at one point, we ask forgiveness, and He forgives. We stumble again, we repent and He forgives. Again we offend our God, we admit our mistakes and repent and His arms are still wide open to embrace and forgive us. He is a loving and merciful God and He is not harsh. You will one day be surprised that you are already attracted to Him as you learn your lessons.
"But i don't deserve His love and forgiveness? But isn't that true of life in general? We don't deserve his love and forgiveness. We are not worthy. But what do we do with a God that loves us recklessly? Just say yes to undeserved love."(Bo Sanchez)

dili na man gyod unta ko maghisgot nini pero kay mao may naa sa akong hunahuna, ako na lang ning ipagawwas. kung naay karma, aw maayo kay basin diay ma-karma ang babaye nga nagsamad sa akong kasingkasing.. pero luoy man sad. Ginoo, ayaw lang siya gabai ha?
ok.. let go. let God..
I don't really believe in KARMA.God don't punish people no matter how bad people are,God always ready to forgive our sins & he won't do such things that will harm to his creations.We face circumstances of the things that we did or we made.Like for example you had chicken pox after a week you saw that guy,it's very plain & simple that the bacteria or virus or whatever you call that had transferred on you & maybe because your body then is not quite ready to fight the most harmful virus that you encountered,then your body reacted.I know GOD is so good,he loves his people & the rest of his creations,He is love,joy & happiness,it is the evil try to brainwash people that GOD do some revenge or GABA that's a big lie!
Anyway,this is just my opinion.Please don't misunderstand it.
GABA is actually a very negative concept that Spaniards instilled to the Filipinos . GOD IS A LOVING GOD YOU ARE CORRECT. I DON'T ANYMORE USE THE TERM GABA OR KARMA i was just really presenting how religious norms shape my thinking in the past. I dont anymore see my GOD as harsh that was long time ago.Neurotic ra kaayo ko ato sa una. hehehehehe
CHEERS GOD LOVES U
