Am I going crazy, or is there really such a thing?!
Question: Am I going crazy, or is there really such a thing?
Let me preface by saying that I do know the power of suggestion, and everything that goes with it, but to be honest, this is a thought that has been growing and growing until it was verbalized by a 'reader'.
Here goes. I am a very cute Latin female who has really risen up from pretty much nothing. I had to drop out of school in the 7th grade because my mom died and my step dad left my sister and me. I've worked hard and have achieved a lot. I now hold a very high position in my field, own my own home and four high-end cars (okay, make that three high-end cars, and a regular one) all paid for. I have one son, two dogs, a cat and fish. Again, not that I want to harp on it, I just want to make it clear, I am considered very pretty. So, I think I should be happy, right? I am not. Everything seems to be cursed. I mean little things - if someone admires one of my cars, within a couple of days I get a flat. Someone told me my home was beautiful and yesterday the ceiling in the dining room sprang a leak and a huge chunk fell off. Trust me, these are only a couple of examples because I know that I will run out of space soon. My relationship with my son sucks, regardless of what I try. He is a good kid, no drugs, no alcohol, good grades, but he is so rude. In any case, my point is the following. I've always felt that people in the community in which I lived envied me (women especially). And although I have three or four GOOD long-time girl friends, they too have told me this. I've been talked about constantly (supposedly I've slept around [untrue] to get where I'm at, and other such silliness. Once, I heard I was actually an exotic dancer) and so on. Anyway, yesterday my cousin took me to a person who reads cards. Although I am not a believer, I am desperate. Without me having said ANYTHING (i wanted her to 'prove' herself) she told me that daggers of envy are ruining my life. I felt like crying. Anyway, she said she could fix it for a few hundred dollars - and I am almost tempted to try it. What are some thoughts on this? Could something like this (having bad things happen because of others' envy) actually be real?

I think you are focused on the wrong things. You think success is measured in the price tags and number of things you own. Maybe it's instant karma
Why do you need a mansion. Why do you need four cars? Why do you need to brag about all the STUFF you have.
Give up all the excess stuff. Show your son you appreciate him and how good he is rather than parading things around. I'm betting you think buying him stuff is the right way to show love.
Spend more time helping other people rather than accumulating things. It isn't other people's envy, it's your envy of things - wanting a bunch of pricey stuff you don't need, that is your downfall.
Don't give the woman any money, she is a con artist. She will keep telling you that you have to give her more and more money to make things right. Sell your excess and give it to legit charities and such. (After setting aside enough for your son's college.)
I do believe in the paranormal, but this is a standard con.
No
there is no such thing as bad luck and no its not real! you are just having a hard time. pray about it and maybe god will help. try patching up the wholes with your son!ignore the envy and move on.good luck!
No - Things like that just happen - there is no reason for misfortune or for things going wrong in the home they just happen. I could give you dozens of examples from my own life and that of my family but frankly it wouldn't prove anything to you if you have become fixated on this idea. Just get on with your life and forget it
Tell you what... things like this happen to EVERYBODY. Even people who do not have dozens of people who envy them. She probably saw that you were really pretty and mentioned that envy like - she probably mentions this to anyone who is beautiful. And for those who are not, she might say, "You're plagued by feeling inferior/unconfidant." Etc.
These things happen. I wouldn't waste your money on her, because then you'll just lose more of your personal belongings to someone as a result of "daggers of envy."
