Maybe Karma does exist?

I don't believe in it, but this story makes me consider it...

A friend of the family develops cancer. While going through treatment, husband cheats on her.. (John Edwards fan maybe?). The guy was always an ass, so this doesn't surprise me at all. No one knew, he also was physical and mentally abusive to his wife.

Anyway, there was some malpractice around her treatment and there had been a lawsuit going on forever. She finally decided to leave him. 5 months later, she gets a 1mil settlement for the malpractice. She only had to pay her X about $15,000 to cover lawyer fees that happened while married..

I don't believe in Karma on a cosmic level, like there's someone or something out to get you.

But it is logical to think that if you vist enough evil onto others, evil will find you.

I believe in Karma. I don't know if it's some metaphysical force or not but usually if you are a jerk, or selfish, when your time to need something comes you don't have a lot of friends that will answer.

I agree that often how you live your life creates the situations that happen to you. I have a friend who is open and warm and loving and giving with everyone she comes into contact with. When tragedy struck her family, there were dozens of people who swarmed to help - and they stayed for months, even years - still helping her with whatever she needs. Is that "karma"? I don't know if that is cosmic - or just a natural consequence of being lovable. Same with this guy - abusive cheater doesn't get payout of lawsuit because his wife left. If he had been kind and faithful, he would have shared in the payout, either directly or indirectly.

I always enjoy when some A-hole aggressive driver passes me and I find him pulled over by a cop a mile further down the road.

That always feels like karma! ;D

I believe in Karma.

As a manager that has to do disruptive things like fire people, who gets the bad Karma? me or the company? sigh . . . I probably don't want to know.

[Happy prose]

I believe what goes around comes around. And secretly I always hope I'm around to see it!

I don't even need the cop. Just pulling up to him at the next traffic light & wave...........

Maybe. Glad it worked out for the lady in your scenario. My aunt had almost the same story - except her husband left her in the middle of her treatments, with two small children, on the East Coast while all our family is in the Midwest. Just completely abandoned them. She was a SAHM and completely dependent on her husband. My dad took a month of vacation to fly there, pack up their things, drive them back home and get them set up in an apartment, go back & help sell their house.

I believe in karma. Also believe in what goes around comes around. No human being has to notice except me and my higher power.
