Sometimes, when something unfortunate or mildly “unlucky” happens, fellow Buddhists shrug their shoulders and remark sheepishly, “Well, bad karma!” Sometimes they even do it when “it” happens to them. It's interesting how we, at times, speak of our personal karma as if it were an unreasonable third-party that we are exaperated with. We ARE our karma when we are expriencing its payback. Not that you should cultivate a strong sense of self and identification with fleeting karma, but let's accept it graciously in the moment.
