"Every thought, word, and act has a consequence. Releasing your desire to control an outcome will free you from having to deal with karma. Think of the cat who swats at the fly in the window until he brings it down. The problem is not solved after one 'hit' because there are more and more flies the cat will need to swat. Consequently, the cat is busy endlessly chasing and swatting, and never truly satisfying its need for completion of the task.
The same goes for the hamster in the wheel who runs until he is exhausted and gets absolutely nowhere. He will face the wheel again after he regains strength. The outcome in both situations is the same, but the cat and the hamster will never stop their need to control something which they cannot seem to control. People are neither cats nor hamsters, but they take on the same tasks day in and day out as though they have some control over the outcome when often the answer is to simply observe and allow." ~ Freda
