Watch out for the Karma Bus

I think, when we complain about not getting to see Karma in action, it's because we aren't looking hard enough! The best example I have is for you to take a look at Tiger Wood's performance in the Major Championships of golf for the past few years since his extra curricular activities were brought to the public's attention. Not only did he have to give his Swedish wife half of his large cash holdings, buy her a couple of houses, and loose custody of his kids, but, he got to do this in the most public way possible. But, that's not the end of the bad karma. Win a regular tournament, that is only shown on the Golf Channel - go ahead, Sir! By all means, enjoy that low visibility success! Go to a major championship, on a network, shown in 15 countries, well, now, you're sure to shit the bed and end up way down on the leader board, with all the commentators shaking their heads and wondering what happened to you. Your Karma bus backs up over you, goes forward, and waits. Keep it in your pants once you make the vows, dumb ass.

My point is, because I don't care if he ever wins another golf trophy, gets any cash, or whatever, is that sometimes you need to look at those around you carefully to see if they are getting their just rewards. Work for a company that treats its employees badly? Get canned later? Ooops. The old saying "if you lie down with dogs, expect to get up with fleas" can also apply.

Bad things will still happen to good people. We won't know why. How you react to what happens to you is the control you have over the situation. Just remember; if the same shit is happening to you over and over, you need to make a change, because you can't expect the situation to change for you - if you're allowing people to treat you like jerks, they'll keep doing it until you remove yourself from their reach. If you work hard at your job and don't get rewarded, ask for rewards, if they still don't happen, get a different job. If the place you live is horrible, pack your shit and move. All of these things are possible - you'll be surprised if you just do what you need to do so you can be happy.
