I am 54 and seen so many people that did bad things, lived callously, selfish, outright liars, etc. have it catch up with them.
Karma? Not sure if I'd easily classify it as that. Most of the time I think if you are just a sh*t person and you constantly get away with it, you get bold and it eventually takes you down. I'm watching a woman that just lost everything later in life who was just a phony, liar and unempathetic, selfish person have her entire world fall apart on top of herself and lose relationships. She brought all of it on herself. It was all due to her own actions. So I do agree--you live a life of integrity, treat people well, are honest and considerate and think outside of yourself--life will still happen (people get sick, people die, etc, etc)--but overall you put out good, you get good back. You cheat, you lie, you don't care about how your actions hurt others: that comes back to you eventually. |
Or they just eventually FKKK with the wrong person ![]() |
Not so sure. A family member was helping people in need until one beat the shit out of her and murdered her. |
+1 He’s worshipped by half the country. Or brainwashed is more accurate |
No, unfortunately I know a person who cheated on his terminally ill wife and is married to the person he cheated on and living his best life, traveling, buying a home, etc.. Now do I knwo their inner workings? But you see this everywhere in the news, various celebrities, etc.. |
And it's so weird to really judge someone's character (barring rapists, murderers, racists, abusers and swindlers) plus morality despite seeming unchanging, can vary by culture and time period. Right now many companies streamline and inflict harsh working conditions on their employees and despite creating suffering, they don't think of themselves as evil so much as doing great work for their business. In a similar vein, our criminal justice system ignores white collar crime, karma falls short when the repercussions are vast. Some see having multiple sexual partners as immoral and an std being punishment (despite it happening to people who have one partner) but in our current culture it is just a function of dating, so it would be seen as bad luck/timing, not karma. Couldn't we tsk tsk anything we have an issue with and gloat at the misfortune of those we disapprove of? |
Don’t you guys get tired of acting like he’s the cause of every bad thing that ever happened? You look weak & foolish with your obsession. |
And you look like you're drinking the kool aid with your oversimplification of the opinions of those who are not you. I don't think your brain can handle the actual reality of this situation. |
It’s hysterical ![]() He’s like the Randall Flagg of the Leftists. The ever-present boogeyman, pulling the strings, fingerprints all over everything, hiding in every shadow, his weighty unseen presence behind every squeak in the floor. He’s responsible for everything bad. Doesn’t matter what it is. Simultaneously the dumbest man that’s ever held office yet also at the same time the most brilliant criminal genius that’s ever entered the White House. So stupid he doesn’t know where Russia is on a map, but mastermind of the most complex and convoluted plots and grifts in modern history. Doesn’t matter what the question is, he’s the answer, if there’s any blame to be assigned. He’s the ultimate antagonist. If y’all just ignored him, you’d take away all this power you’ve induced into him. But you just can’t. And that’s funny AF. ![]() |
“i doN’t tHiNk yOuR bRaIn cAn hAnDlE tEh AcTuAl rEaLiTy oF tHiS sItUaTiOn!” ![]() Are you nine years old? Because that’s something like my nine year old would say, FFS. |
+1. The only justice the universe ever doles out is that which you go inflict yourself on its behalf. If someone has wronged, you’re a fool to think karma will catch up with them. YOU are karma. So either go out and get your payback yourself, or quit complaining. |
My bully is now an office manager with an arrest record. |
My stepdad died from cancer at age 43. He abused me for years during my tween/teen years. I did not mourn his early and painful death. |
DP here - excellent point! Narcissists tend to think that others are not as "smart" as them, so they are their own worst enemy. |
My godfather turned to be evil. He indirectly stole money from my father, cheated his wife, and mistreated me when I worked at his business. He died of leukemia. |
