Hello everyone!
Before you read, I want you to enjoy this piece titled Karma by Mr. P. It has a karma message that you might like and could even counter what my article contains. Lol. I just love the creativity of the video, and it may help you overlook the spills in my article.
I have a totally different perspective on the thing called Karma. Maybe it existed before, but for now, it has left planet Earth—maybe to other planets. All I know is that it is no longer in existence, no matter how someone wants to justify the fact that karma is real.
I once had this argument with a neighbor—that should be December of last year—and funny enough, he was pointing at karma in a relationship. I laughed out loud because if karma has not shown itself in real-life issues, is it relationship issues it will bother itself with? No way!
That evening, I remember clearly when a lady was dropped on the road close to our house, heading to a lounge. He called my attention to the lady’s direction and told me that she had recently broken up with her boyfriend after a solid two-year relationship. While the guy was very committed, footing all the bills—especially for flashy things like an iPhone and dresses—the lady was double-dating right from the beginning of the relationship. He ended his story with, "This lady doesn't know that karma is real. She will get to face the heat of what she did to the guy."
I laughed out loud and told him that nothing would happen to the lady. In fact, she would even get married to a very rich guy while her ex would still be lamenting over what she did to him. He tried to argue, saying life is not like that and that karma would surely happen. I had to divert the discussion to something else because it was obvious that the guy was still living in the days of old, where people left everything—including vengeance—to God and karma. I am not supporting violence, though.
As the world is currently, we just need to apply wisdom in the things we do and live life carefully because karma’s so-called fighting back is no longer there. Haven’t you seen how people are being slaughtered here and there? When have you seen karma fight back against those murderers? This is why I keep sounding the alarm: "Do not let anyone kill you!" Because if you do, nothing will happen. The law of justice will be bribed, and the murderer will be set free. Haven’t you seen many such cases?
We grew up with the belief that once someone is murdered, the spirit of the deceased goes after their murderer. Maybe this used to happen before, but for now, it seems the transport fare used for spirit people to travel down to Earth to hunt their killers is now very high, so they no longer come. Lol.
Should I talk about politicians? We know what these people do. We know the evil acts they soil their hands with from time to time. When has karma visited them? You saw what happened at Lekki Tollgate during the protest, right? What is karma waiting for? Abeg, abeg, abeg!
This last point before I drop my pen: Haven’t you seen a lady who spent her early days jumping from man to man, enjoying her life, and later got married to a decent man—even before the ladies who had been maintaining decency? Will karma still visit the lady? Lol.
Again, I am not supporting evil!
Thanks for reading.
