Do you believe in karma?

I’m going to quote a poet who grew up in my hometown. Before you get too excited, it’s not John. Updike. This is a research paper of sorts because I never gave this subject all that much thought. In my opinion, we do the right thing so we can sleep at night. That’s my instant karma.

Cause karma is my boyfriend
Karma is a god
Karma is the breeze in my hair on the weekend
Karma’s a relaxing thought
Aren’t you envious that for you it’s not?
Sweet like honey, karma is a cat
Purring in my lap ’cause it loves me
Flexing like a goddamn acrobat
Me and karma vibe like that.

Actually her boyfriend is Travis Kelce. Upon further research, they got married somewhere along the way. You’ll learn something new every day.

I want to believe in Karma but I simply do not. To me, all karma is, is the ability to sleep at night. I repeat I want to believe in Karma, but the world simply doesn’t work that way. I certainly have no idea how the after world works either.

Critics and armchair philosophers point out that viewing the universe as a moral balance sheet is often a way to find order and comfort in a chaotic world. If a cosmic karma existed like gravity, it would be measurable; instead, bad people often escape unpunished and innocent people suffer, making karma a psychological coping mechanism rather than a physical law.

But I guess we want instant and hyperbolic gratification all the time. The most obvious example would be the Trump regime in the United States. For many seeing him in jail or serving time for his crimes would be the pure form of karma with a side of apple pie.

My definition of karma is being my ability to sleep peacefully at night. Narcissist, lack empathy, and that is not a factor in their mind. Their karma is pissing off the lidtard.

Like most things in my life, I try to figure them out and prove them to be true rather than working on blind faith. Somewhere deep inside of me, I believe karma exists . I just can’t prove it.

But bear with me I did try to scientifically here, with a low degree of confidence.

Thanks for the Comfort Eggnog Brain

    I enjoyed this thoughtful take on karma—especially your distinction between cosmic justice and personal peace. I also like the idea that sometimes “karma” is simply being able to put your head on the pillow at night with a clear conscience. We may never be able to prove that the universe keeps a moral balance sheet, but we can certainly choose the kind of person we want to be.

I would love to hear you opinion as well

Hello,

I’m Mark

His friends observe Mark seems wired a little differently. Perhaps it’s more likely that noticing little things often missed by others is a relic of a quieter, simpler time. He has a way with words, which he refuses to let be hindered by sub-par typing skills. People have great stories to tell if you sit and listen.

A belief dear to Mark is that there is certain beauty in the world. You simply have to look for it.
