The "Karma, What Comes Around Goes Around" Game

Many people believe in “karma” which is felt to exist as a separate force from individuals. “Karma” is thought to keep the checks and balances in place when it comes to good vs. evil.

It is assumed that the people that live a good life filled with good deeds and genuine concern for others will be rewarded by “karma” for those deeds. If a person lives a life that is deviant and harmful to others, they will eventually have to pay for what they have done as “karma” sweeps through on its way around. “What comes around goes around”.

Basically the thinking is such that a person who has been somehow victimized by another in a way not punishable by the law need not take any action of their own in retribution for the injustice because that is the responsibility of “karma”. If one attempts to interfere with “karma” by acting on their own, they are risking the good standing of their own “karma”.

It is my feeling that “karma” does indeed exist, however it is not entirely a separate force from us as individuals. I believe that each and every one of us as we are affected by evil perpetrated by an individual such as a narcissist or psychopath earns a piece of karma that collectively is added to an existing spiritual entity, which together makes up the whole force. The karma of any individual can be weak or strong depending on the amount and degree of evil deeds perpetrated against the individual.

The success and good fortune that a sociopath, or narcissist enjoys in this society is greatly dependent on how all the pieces of karma come together and are applied to create an outcome for such person. “What comes around and goes around” depends on how the individual maligned by the narcissist or sociopath chooses to apply the karma that was earned as a result of the actions perpetrated against the individual.

Everyone encounters misfortune in life regardless of how good or evil their deeds. The laws of nature and possibly spiritual forces affect everyone in a random way.

When someone such as a sociopath behaves in a way that is immoral and intentionally victimizes another without remorse, causing damage, possibly severe emotional pain to another, the situation is not random. Many people who are victimized do nothing to stand up for themselves or protect others from the same fate because they have the belief that “karma” will promote justice.

This may be true to a certain extent. If my theory holds, it is the victim that holds a piece of the karma, to be used to maintain the full capability of the force. If the victim uses their “earned” karma in a way that they feel brings reasonable justice to a situation without exposing themselves or others to danger, then the force of karma remains strong.

If the victim does nothing more than, walk away and pretend that the incident never happened, the degree and force of “karma” would be significantly weakened, making the statement “what comes around, goes around” almost meaningless. In other words don’t hold your breath waiting. If there is no action that a victim can take because they cannot prove something or there is a fear of retaliation or danger, then the forces stay uninterrupted. One has no choice but to wait for “karma” to sweep by in those situations, and it will.

Many adverse situations in which a person is victimized by another, despite the suffering of the victim, the lessons gained eventually far outweigh the pain. If the victim is able to sort through the pieces of the emotional puzzle they become stronger and wiser. This is true, however, it still leaves the perpetrator at large, causing pain and suffering wherever he or she goes.

I am not referring to situations in which the person has done something illegal and can be charged for their wrongdoing. In those situations, we become absolved from our responsibility. There are many grave injustices in which there are no laws on the books. These are what I refer to as moral crimes.

I am not suggesting that we become vigilantes. I am suggesting that when possible, people who are dangerous to others become exposed for what they are. The more people that are warned, the less people are hurt by such a person.

If everyone lives by the philosophy “what comes around goes around” and does not feel that they have any part in how “karma” goes around then the perpetrator of these moral crimes will continue. There is no time schedule for the comings and goings of “karma”. Who knows how many are victimized by such people as “karma” is awaited.

It is my philosophy that we all have a responsibility to help “karma” along. Again, this is providing that there is no danger that exists to the victim or anyone else. The act of karma should fit the crime. It is unfortunate that often the narcissist or psychopath has a feel for the type of person that will wait for “karma” to come around instead of doing something to put a stop to the person’s behavior by exposing it. It is these very people that are at risk of being targeted and victimized themselves.

My “karma” theory” is not about revenge. It is about standing up for us in the face of evil when it is reasonable to do so, poses no serious danger, and our actions fit the crime. To walk away and not say another word about it is irresponsible and shows little concern for our fellow man or woman.

We all have our role to play in the “karma, what comes around, goes around game”. It is our responsibility to shine the light on others that pose serious danger to the emotional, physical and or financial well being of others. We are and should be the “karma” of the people that are dangerous to others.
