Ugh, I so loathe what popular culture has turned karma into. I don't believe in the cosmic intelligence lining up events to make you suffer either, because people I've met seem to completely miss the point -- they moan on and on about their bad karma, they're being punished, they're bad people, they'll never deserve forgiveness, and they can't undo the bad thing that
so very indirectly made this bad thing happen (convenient, eh?) ... Come on! It's a learning process, not an excuse for a self-pity party! And if they wallow instead of acting like they don't deserve this bad thing and stopping it happening, then it seems they're not learning a thing except maybe that pity is a cushy thing to have from everyone and self-destruction is an acceptable lifestyle.
Oh, and announcing, "Karma will get you back," as if they have that kind of authority? Is worse. It's like Karma is their buddy who is built like a brick wall but isn't very bright and will pound anyone down who his friend asks to... not the holy universal algorithm that ought to be respected for its impartial process and won't be called up to satisfy a petty vengeance.
I ought to feel compassion for the people around me who are so lost they need to do either of the above, but... I'm getting a lowered vibration myself... I just get annoyed.
