Karma, Cause and effect

 

v  Selfish impulses, needing to control and hide things will lead to one's own strife.

v  How we have lived and how we live - free of guilt and regret?

v  We can learn a lot from other's selfishness and the consequences of their actions.


"The law of cause and effect is in constant operation, and we reap what we sow—not as a matter of punishment, but as the effect following the cause."  Yogi Philosophy - Spiritual Cause and Effect

"We also see that the one who caused us injury has thereby set the stage for a similar injury to befall himself, and Karma will inevitably bring this to him without any action on our part."
"To me belongs vengeance and recompense" says the Lord according to Moses. (Deuteronomy XXXII, 35) In other words, it is not for man to revenge himself, but to leave it to Nature and the Law of Cause and Effect. If man insists on taking revenge, he is thereby sowing the seed for the return to himself of the same injury in the future." Karma: The Law of Consequences Life's Riddle by Nils A. Amneus

Internet to revolutionize TV in 5 years: Gates

"Because TV is moving into being delivered over the Internet -- and some of the big phone companies are building up the infrastructure for that -- you're going to have that experience all together," Gates said.

This is an interesting article By Ben Hirschler.

Television is dead...


Is this what television has been reduced to? Flipping through hundreds of channels only to find poor quality, mind numbing tv shows and endless advertisements. Throughout our lifetime, we have all experienced the birth of television's earliest years.  We graduated to a new world of cable television. We expanded our tv viewing world further with satellite television, only to discover on demand tv shows we've all seen before. It's become an endless loop of tv channels, strung along a video wasteland full of mind numbing, poor quality programs. So what's next? More of the same?

A few months ago my wife and I made that big step. We cut the "umbilical" cord - cancelled our cable television service and ventured into a whole new world of Internet interactive television. We quickly learned that we can find all the interesting information and entertainment we want via digital broadcasting. Even television networks have succumbed to the power of the Internet.

There is a segment of die-hard boob tube watchers who are still passively watching sitcom after sitcom with canned laugh tracks. Even the young viewers are steadily diminishing as they venture into the www. I hate to typecast certain generations, but it seems that it's the older viewers who are keeping the traditional cable television as we know it, alive.
