And those seconds, or was it only one second, I got so much adrenalin that I saw the situation totally clear. This helped me to make the right decision how to react which in the end saved my life.

You have the right to feel and share your emotions, but Karen I see pain and fustration in your words. You say that you think about karma every day, what you think would happen to some one that wishes hell to others? Maybe your wishes for others need to change for then to find love, peace, compation, understanding, patience and forgiveness. Here is something from Buddha for you: For as long as time remain For as long as human been remain May I too remain To liberate all human been from suffering Including my self. Karen I really hope that you find peace in your heart and forgiveness for those who do wrong in this life. May love and understanding be your companion and shadow. Please take good care of your self. Karen,

Just accept the fact that some people are screwed up beyond belief and be simple. The more simple people are, I have found, the less messed up they tend to be. Each and every day all I think about is karma. Karma, karma, karma, ,,, it's the only thing that gets me through. Knowing others will have EVERYTHING they have done fall back on them! This gives me strength to live while knowing people can be truly evil. May they find their places in hell :) There is No longer a reason to fight, you have shown me that Paulo.

Being stricken or paralized with fear
can be less literal than it appears, and I think that’s the way most of us experience it these days, as opposed to being face to face with T-rex.
And that is the trap….whatever the fear, we may continue in most of our everyday deeds and purposely avoid the situations leading into or around the looming confrontation with the fear…so we do not really feel paralized but we are, in regards to that particular direction.

I have been paralyzed by fear; fear of losing a child. Was I wrong? That all consuming fear did create an adrenalin and resulted in an acceptance and understanding of my child's condition, but also of fear itself. So fear instigates a good fight > fear becomes the fight. There is nothing wrong with fear. I would be super natural if I just accepted! g x Is being paralyzed by fear not part of the struggle? or, indeed, IS it the struggle? I have been paralyzed by fear; fear of losing a child.
