Karma vs. Justice


     Karma is a bitch.  My favorite cliché of all time.  Such a simple statement it is.  It implies that someone who has done something wrong has had something bad happen to him/her. 
     Too often in our society we feel that someone must write every wrong in the world.  Somebody has to stick up for the wronged of all types.  Sometimes it is important to stand up and fight, but sometimes it is easier to brush it on and move on with life.
      Recently I saw a story on CNN about a gay bar owner who was starting a ban on bachelorette parties.  His bar, which was holding 6 or so parties a week, would implement the ban because he and his patrons were tired of having marriage rubbed in their faces.
     Paige was watching this with me and her first response has, “Oh hell no!”  We discussed his rights as a bar owner and the rights of the women to have parties.  I finally summed it up for Paige with this.
     If he bans bachelorette parties then he could see a decline in his bar sales.  This could lead to a loss in profits which could ultimately lead to him going out of business.  This is a form of karma.
     If you do bad things then the universe will find some way to punish you.  It may not be obvious as my example, but you’re gonna get it.  The best revenge in life really is living an awesome life. 
     Let me sum it up in one statement: Sometimes you have to let karma be your justice.
