Inside the mind of a woman

“for every event that occurs, there will follow another event whose existence was caused by the first, and this second event will be pleasant or unpleasant according as its cause was skillful or unskillful.”

“As you sow so shall you reap”

“What goes around comes around”

In our family, we never talked about Karma. I grew up never having to worry about it. But taking Karma out of its Hinduism origins, it really just tells you that if you do your best do good, then people will remember the goodness and in most cases, they also remember to do good for you too. It also works the other way around.

But does being a saint guarantee good Karma?

It did not matter that I did not practice Hinduism or if I believed in their philosophies or if I was afraid that what I did was going to hit me back, I was always somehow aware that I needed to follow what was right for myself and for everyone around me.

I practically cemented my fate with all the rules I followed, all the teachings I absorbed. I was wrong.

I look around me and I see a world full of evil people who purposely wreak havoc to the world and yet they breeze through life without so much as a scratch. While I… I… lets just say, the journey was not easy.

And in times like these, I comfort myself by thinking that soon, this too shall pass. But soon has already passed and yet, the wounds are still fresh. And as I try to bring myself up from recent blows, someone comes along and kicks me back down further into the abyss where I am already at. Sucks doesn’t it?

So yeah, I don’t believe in Karma.
