Cursed or Tested?

I think I may be cursed, I'm not really one to believe in things like that, however, given the past 5 years and the random horrible things that happened in that time, I'm beginning to notice I have unusually bad luck.
Most of my friends that I grew up with have passed away (i'm only 24), nearly every animal I've owned has died a premature death from random mishaps..and most recently, my son passed away earlier this year.
It's beginning to seem like anyone or any thing I get close to is doomed.
Is this just bad luck, not that unusual?
Or am I cursed..

Yeah.. I can relate. All my animals died too. The last one was almost comically gruesome and I really cared for it. Ive never had kids, sorry to hear that. I understand the feeling; its like i have a lot to be thankful for but damn have i attracted a huge amount of difficult experiences.
If it is any consolation, this is pretty common and you're working through karma most likely. Not in the sense of punishment for previous actions but in the sense of working through challenges you have already agreed to take on if you believe that is possible at any level.
Humor me for a second, check your astrology chart. I swear this will tell you all your karma in plain words. I know it seems like b.s. but just take a few minutes real quick.

Check your Pluto, sun, moon, and ascendant. Especially check your pluto because that is supposed to describe what your life challenges will be. All of your planets will tell you a little something about yourself but those are the main ones. If you do it tell me how accurate it is. Mine is way accurate.

I went ahead and tried the astrology website, and I don't mean to belittle you, saenchai, but mine was total bullshit. My readings had nothing to do with what I'm really like, or what my challenges have been. It just seemed like the canned, generic sort of stuff that someone who isn't into astrology would expect.

That's alright, thanks for sharing. I am still determining how real it is myself but my birth chart reading described my life very accurately beyond the bland generalities that I've recieved from horoscopes and pop astrology readings. As with all things, I'll continue to maintain skepticism about it until I have more statistically significant data.

Never heard of that before. I'm going to play around with it.

Personally I think that everything we experience is here to help us evolve, and to teach us something, as painful as the experience may be at the time. There is a spiritual teacher I vaguely know, who's name is Mohanji. His child died and unexpected premature death. It completely threw his life into turmoil. He ended up leaving his wife and going to live at a monestery somewhere remote for a few years, and ended up finding realisation. He now teaches others how to do the same thing.
The macrocosm is a reflection of the microcosm. Whatever we have going on inside us is reflected back at us through the outer world and it the experiences it brings us. Karmic impressions bring us lessons we still need to learn from. Learn the lesson and you no longer need to repeat that experience. The problem is that so much of what we experience is governed by the subconscious and unconscious mind, it's hard to pinpoint exactly what is causing these experiences. Techniques to dissolve karmic impressions in these places are needed to change the macrocosm and our experiences.

I don't have to guess about it, I know that there are evil forces in the world, and it seems they are intent on wreaking havoc on me and others.
Yesterday was a "perfect" example. Sitting at home, feeling fine, friend says "hey you should get out, it's a beautiful day." So, I head out and drive up the road and a fucking log truck literally comes into my narrow lane with the guard rail next to the cliff on my side. Nowhere to go. I lay on my horn, and brake, and at the last possible second this joker finally realizes looking at the boats on the river was a mistake, and steers SHARPLY to his right nearly jackknifing the truck.
My thought two seconds from death? "This could really suck".

The Greeks used to think that Zeus decided this. No one makes it out unscathed, but, some get it worse than others.
Quote:
Two jars sit on the doorsill of Zeus, filled with gifts that he bestows, one jar of evils, the other of blessing. When Zeus who delights in the thunder takes from both and mixes the bad with the good, a human being at one time encounters evil, at another good. But the one to whom Zeus gives only troubles from the jar of sorrows, this one he makes an object of abuse, to be driven by cruel misery over the divine earth.

I used this years ago and it was lengthy and accurate WHEN I remembered that in astrology you don't use daylight savings time (I'm born in early July): http://alabe.com/freechart/ Plus, it's free.

If you think you're cursed, you are. If you think you're being tested, you are.
