<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>
At the end of the month, we give out prizes in 3 categories: Best Content, Top Engagers and
Most Engaged Content.
Best Content
Top Engagers
Most Engaged Content
Best Content
We give out cash prizes to between 7 and 20 community members with the best insights in the past month.
The winners are picked by an in-house selection process.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know for the Best Content track
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
Top Engagers
For the Top Engagers Track, we award the top 3 people who engage the most with other user's content via
comments.
The winners are picked using the "Top Monthly Engagers" tab on the rankings page.
Most Engaged Content
The Most Engaged Content recognizes users whose content received the most engagement during the month.
We pick the top 3.
The winners are picked using the "Top Monthly Contributors" tab on the rankings page.
Contributor Rankings
The Rankings/Leaderboard shows the Top 20 contributors and engagers on TwoCents a monthly and all-time basis
— as well as the most active colleges (users attending/that attended those colleges)
The all-time contributors ranking is based on the Contributor Score, which is a measure of all the engagement and exposure a contributor's content receives.
The monthly contributors ranking tracks performance of a user's insights for the current month. The monthly and all-time scores are calcuated DIFFERENTLY.
This page also shows the top engagers on an all-time & monthly basis.
Below is a list of badges on TwoCents and their designations.
