Taking back power

This last week I had been ‘frauded’ several transactions. That is so not cool. Why do people like to scam? It’s such terrible karma.
So I went from victim to advocate in like a few minutes.
The heck with scammers! You might be able to think you can take my money or my information, but ya know, I have the ‘force’ on my side.
So I did what most people would do, file complaints, claims, etc. I don’t know if I’ll get my money back, but making the effort feels empowering!
This is not my idea of the world. Maybe that’s my initial problem. I’m too trusting. I believe in mankind.
I still do after being frauded, but I’m a slight bit more cautious. Emphasis on slight.
Too much fear, well, it’s what I’ve said, creates the darkroom in which our negatives develop.
So, yeah, I can get duped, but you know, I’m a survivor. I learn.
That’s the important thing.
To remain a victim, is, in my opinion, a relinquishment of power. We are all powerful, even if taken advantage of.
And I slyly smile, I know that those who have wronged, well, they’ve got karma coming to them.
