KARMA
<p>Recently, someone asked me if I believe in karma, and I had to pause before answering. It wasn't a simple yes or no because, honestly, I've thought about it a lot.</p><p><br/></p><p>Do I believe that people eventually get what they deserve? Maybe. But do I believe karma works the way people say it does? No.</p><p><br/></p><p>What I've noticed is that when people talk about karma, they expect the person who did the wrong to eventually suffer for it. But that's not what I often see. Instead, it seems like the pain falls on someone close to them, a child, a spouse, a sibling, or another loved one. The person who caused the harm may feel hurt because someone they love is suffering, but they aren't the ones experiencing that pain firsthand.</p><p><br/></p><p>And that's my problem with the idea of karma.</p><p><br/></p><p>If someone deliberately hurts another person, I want them to understand what that pain feels like. I want them to experience the consequences themselves, not watch someone else suffer on their behalf. Only then can they truly understand the damage they caused.</p><p><br/></p><p>Sometimes I also wonder why we're told to "leave it to karma." Why should I sit back and wait for something that may never happen? Why should I continue carrying the pain while hoping the universe will eventually balance the scales?</p><p><br/></p><p>Maybe karma exists. Maybe it doesn't. But from what I've seen, it doesn't always reach the person who deserves it most. And that's why I struggle to believe in it.</p><p><br/></p><p>What do you think? Do you believe karma always finds the right person, or have you ever felt like it misses its target?</p>
