Ethnick Thoughts

I reluctantly believe in karma.

I’ve seen it in action far too often to be a non-believer. To better understand its ways I tend to compare it to religion and faith. A large number of people who believe in God have usually experienced some type of supernatural phenomenon in which no other explanation than God is applicable. I speak for this party as I have many times asked God to show Himself to me and He has. That’s why I believe. Now since I’ve been shown, and believe, I am susceptible to the writings of the Bible, and the promise through Jesus. When I think about it, its not fair. Why do I have to live my life for Christ when others, who claim to have not had that experience and/or have evidence against God’s existence, don’t have to watch their morals. It almost makes me wish I was just as oblivious. But I’m not, I don’t want hell so I follow His word.

The same goes for karma. I treat people well knowing that my good deeds usually boomerang back to me. Just this weekend I subconsciously blew off a good buddy of mine for hanging out. In return I didn’t get to hang out with the person I really wanted to. I hate myself for that one. The thing that gets my gears working is the fact that I still do people wrong despite my knowledge of karma. You would think I would watch what I say and do daily, in order to reap the benefits of karma’s backlash. But I don’t. The same goes for religion. You hear the stories of catholic priests and public pastors committing acts not even ill-moralled folks wouldn’t do. I know, they know they can’t do that. So why do they? Why do I? Until I can completely control myself karma will be there waiting. Waiting. waiting.
