Have you ever met someone who claims to believe in Karma? "Karma"....such a cool sounding word. So exotic. So enlightened sounding. People who believe in Karma must be soooo much cooler than the rest of us.
Personally, I find people who go around yapping about karma no different than those who go around telling everyone how tough they are and how they can beat anyone up. They are full of shit and are trying to convince you of something they don't even believe themselves. But they hope if they can convince you, then they won't actually ever have to prove their claims.
Most of the people I know who constantly bark about karma are complete assholes. They treat people like crap and when people they don't like have bad things happen to them, they cry, "Karma got you haha!". But when bad things are happening to them, they are innocent. And "karma will get the people who are hurting them". They never stop to wonder if the bad things happening to themselves is a result of their own bad karma.
Personally, I don't believe in Karma. Not in the western sense of it anyway. I do believe in good old fashioned cause and effect. If good things are happening, it's because a catalyst began a chain of events that resulted in fortunate outcomes for the observer. The same catalyst may have triggered unfortunate outcomes for some other observer who had other goals and plans. To put it short, SHIT HAPPENS. Things happen as a result of decisions made by ourselves and others and sometimes by natural events such as beautiful weather or a massive tsunami.
Now don't get me wrong. I have actually studied TRUE concepts of Karma originating from authentic Hindu teachings. And that type of Karma, I believe, is real. The true concept of Karma originates with ancient Indian beliefs. And I mean Indian as in FROM INDIA. But this westernized generic poorly used concept of one sided karma is bullshit. It has been my observation that people who truly believe in authentic concepts of karma, rarely talk about it yet they behave as though they are constantly aware of it. In other words they treat others and their environment with kindness, generosity, forgiveness, fairness, and respect. And for some reason, people rarely want to do bad things to these people. I wonder why.
If those folks who go around trying to impress everyone by spitting karma this and karma that actually UNDERSTOOD karma they would look at themselves when bad things happen to them and wonder if they have ever wronged anyone in the same way and perhaps change their ways, rather than sitting back with their pudgy little victim nose in the air loudly blathering how karma has their back and will get those meanies who are picking on them.
So if you are one of these new age hippie wannabe's who flutter around with your "karma loves me" neon sign blinking loudly on your forehead, stop and think next time you get screwed over unfairly by some dickhead who hates you for no particular reason. I bet you have behaved in the same idiotic juvenile asinine manner towards someone else. And the treatment you are getting from this bozo is your karmic comeuppance.
And on that note I would like to wish everyone a very happy holiday season, and especially happy karma to all....who deserve it anyway.
