My apologies: "After serious meditation on the subject of Karma, I've come to believe that every cause has an effect on a level so complex, we may never truly understand the outcome of things. Regardless of what happens, I've learned that I must accept it, for it is my Karma. Does that mean that I do not have control over my life? Does it mean that I do not have a choice, and that everything is pre-destined? God can pre-determine all the possibilites, but it is up to us to choose what shall be true. I've made a few mistakes in my life, and I've treated a few people as they should not have been treated. I hope those people can forgive me. My apologies go out to every single one of you. If you're reading this, and you still feel that you deserve a personal apology, please feel free to contact me. There's a good chance I've been looking for you. To those of you reading this strictly out of curiosity, I hope that I've inspired you to do the same and find the ones you owe an apology before it's too late." - Raul A. Rodriguez '08 |
