what goes around comes around

i experienced a random act of violence this weekend first hand...it's sickening....to have the poison that is hatred boil from the depths of someone's soul in an instant, a flash, without any premonition, without any rational thought for no reason other than to take revenge for having rubbed shoulders the wrong way with another. and the perpetrator acted as a dog that knew it had done something wrong, something for which it was going to be punished, he cowered as I strongarmed him, leading him from the dance floor, the scene of the crime...yet all I could do was escort him out the front door, both his arms secured by a solid grip, a grip not of justice or retribution, but of feigned strength......I could not think clearly in the face of violence...I could not comprehend what would provoke a man to break a bottle over the head of another as his back was turned, as he was enjoying a night out on the town, I could not bring hatred or a need for retribution out of me for my anger was softened by too much medication.....I could only stand, dumbfounded, as he ran for "freedom" once I allowed him to cross the threshold of the front door and released him to the city streets.......I believe in KARMA: Hinduism & Buddhism. The total effect of a person's actions and conduct during the successive phases of the person's existence, regarded as determining the person's destiny. Someone will control his fate, his destiny....at some point, justice will be had, his actions will catch up with him, his errant behavior, whether or not it is a result of his poor upbringing, will lead him to temptation and deliver him directly to evil, and he will know fear, and it will be no one's fault but his own.
