& I mean this both ways...good things happening to good people and bad things happening to bad people.
I shouldn't gloat about the latter because that's mean...but I'd be lying if I said I didn't find it the least bit satisfying to know the universe is more fair than it seems sometimes.

I actually don't think you're scummy at all! I've told you before...
Just think you're a little off your rocker sometimes...but aren't we all, really?

At the same time, one of the nicest girls I know...a cancer...my next door neighbor...got her dream job recently simply by applying for an internship and they loved her. It's with an ID firm she has been in love with and what prompted her to pursue ID in the first place.
That makes me even more happy...she's getting exactly what she deserves on the other end of the spectrum

You don't know what someone deserves, good or bad...
I would touch wood if I were you.

You aren't happy when someone deserving finally has good news?
What's the difference really?

Ok. Well I am not sad for a back stabber that get stabbed in the back.
Can't feel sorry for them. :/ Sorry I'm not sorry.
Hopefully it impacts them in some way and something positive comes from it...

So really, people being born in a 3rd world country is proof there are no consequences for your behavior??
For one, a third world country is only that in comparison to another more developed country.
& a third world country is indeed a consequence of someone's (many people's behavior/choices)
...poor management, politics, greed, etc.
While the people born into it have nothing to do with any that, they still suffer and that's unfortunate...
People's behavior has consequences...and it doesn't just effect them, it effects others around them...

Avoided, they are.
But when it becomes public knowledge that they received the same treatment they handed out to others...
I can't help but feel it was justice

Is it true that good things happen to bad people and bad things happen to good people?
Absolutely. All the time.
Is that even relevant in terms of what I was saying? No. Not at all.

I'm surprised at people wanting to see justice but then balk when it actually happens.
For me personally, I don't wish bad in any one, even those who do bad things. But I won't ignore the fact that eventually they will get what they deserve good or bad. The karma train is never late. What puzzles me is the fact that people don't consider what actually happens. I see most as being mixed or balanced. For every good deed they turn around and do something bad. For every positive there is a negative. Simply you offset your karma and the big picture is you don't go any further in your journey. It's like trying to climb a ladder while laying on the ground. The wisdom comes from gaining positive from negative and not turning positive into negative.

...I knew this girl who was a real bitch...she gave me hell in middle school. Harassed me, bullied me, etc.
She got into a terrible car accident that left her disfigured.
My reaction was genuine compassion. I was not happy that happened to her and I didn't think she got what she deserved.
Now, if a group of girls bullied and harassed her the way she had done me and others...I would probably have thought she was "deserving" of that.

As sad as we may want to feel, there is no getting around karma. What makes me sad is seeing someone do harm knowing that in this life or the next they will be repaid and its usually by having to live in whatever wrong they caused...having to feel it so they will learn that they're not supposed to do it. If you want consideration then give it. Don't discount others. If you want compassion then give it. If you do the opposite then you are taking away from someone. The energy and balance will be restored by you then having to give back. It's simple.

@Balmy: I agree totally. Hence why karma exists. If more people learned what they're suppose to or had simple compassion then there would be less bad situations. But a lot of us operate out of ego and put ourselves first and foremost. If we learned that self survival depends more on what we do for others than ourselves things would be a lot better. By doing for others, you do for self. We do the opposite.
