KARMA

The young guy who recently took up sitting in front of the local Salvation Army building near me has now been joined by (an obviously like minded) girl. Someone also brought a dog along, who has also now joined them. The guy and girl alternate holding up a sign with the word Karma on it. 

Since there are a few locals who have taken up places and claimed specific corners as their own, I am jaded now and cynical about them, particularly when I regularly see them at the local Bank branches.

With this pair, I can’t help but wonder Who’s Karma? I am tempted to think it is theirs. However, of course, it could just as easily be mine…and yours…they are suggesting we be mindful of.

After seeing ‘what goes around comes around’ in action in a few instances, I find it hard to believe that God, the universe etc., whatever is in life that brings order and gives meaning, permits anyone to ever ‘get away with’ abuses, mistreatment, theft of someone else’s belonging, cheating, lying or any other of the harmful and saddening things that people do to each other.

As my late husband once said, there isn’t any ‘trying to be honest’, you are or you aren’t. I like the lack of equivocation about this statement.

Nevertheless, whether our conscience is our moral compass and guides us on a level and right course or whether as some believe Karma will come to all of us and get us to work on unresolved problems in our being; I truly believe you get back as good as you give.

Since Christmas is fast approaching, whether you are young enough to worry about whether Santa Claus is watching if you are good or bad, or whether no one at all is watching, you behave the way you do because of who you are.

Karma can be a Bitch or a blessing but it surely will be consistent with what you deserve and it may be wise to be mindful that in the cycle of life, what goes around seems to come around, as the cycle of life proceeds.
