Who? Me?...

By Vichara

In the “Big Karmic Wheel Of Life” we will think “what the hell is going on with these people and why are they bothering me?” When our inner voice calls out with distain it might be time to pause and contemplate what karma we have created personally to bring about these situations. Personally? Wow, that is tough to think about that we ourselves personally have helped create these situations that trouble us…but we have. Maybe it is in a little way or in a bigger way. All things are inter-connected and we all have the obligation to be personally responsible for out thoughts and actions. After all, we created them. Now turn off the light before you leave!

Did you know?
"Euphony" was borrowed from French at the beginning of the 17th century; the French word ("euphonie") itself derives from the Late Latin "euphonia," which in turn traces back to the Greek adjective "euphōnos," meaning "sweet-voiced" or "musical." "Euphōnos" was formed by combining the prefix "eu-" ("good") and "phōnē" ("voice"). In addition to its more commonly recognized senses, "euphony" also has a more specific meaning in the field of linguistics, where it can refer to the preference for words that are easy to pronounce; this preference may be the cause of an observed trend of people altering the pronunciation of certain words apparently in favor of sound combinations that are simpler and faster to say out loud.
