Karma Ain't Always A Bitch

One of the few things that I believe in this world is, karma.
Karma is the nature of actions of a person whose consequences can be good or bad.
People having good karma are the ones who do good for others and not only for themselves and later on are rewarded for it.
People who do bad to others and mean harm to them might have to watch out cause those same people they harmed might hurt them back, that's called bad karma.
In general, people have the wrong impression of what karma actually is,
Many people believe, that you do something wrong and then later something bad will happen to you.
It could be anything small or irrelevant.
It may not even be wrong in your eyes but to others it may be wrong.
That's not karma.
Karma doesn't affects the small things in our lives.
It takes our life as a whole and based on that it could be bad or good karma.
Let's put it this way:
A child, when it is born, its parents look after its every needs, from feeding to entertaining it and as times pass by and the parents are older, unable to look after themselves, its the child now a fully grown adult, is the one who looks after them.
This act of giving and receiving can also be termed as karma.
If your luck is bad or something bad happens to you, you can't blame karma on it.
It could possibly be your fault, unless you don't want to admit it.
Even I had to face times when things didn't work out the way I wanted to or that time when things were going so smoothly for me, it kinda made me wonder when something bad will happen.
That could be karma playing its part in my life.
Every religion has a different interpretation of karma and well, it still sounds the same.
But if you look at it realistically, the main purpose of karma is to make you aware of the fact that, if you do or think bad of others, something bad will befall you.
Even if you don't believe in it, you can feel it happening around you.
The main message that karma gives you, according to me, is that you got to think positively in any situation you are put in, no matter how bad or worse it is.
Think positive, don't blame someone else, accept your fate and when the time comes, you'll get the answer.
If I have to sum up karma, then I guess using Radiohead's song Karma Police will suit well.
The music video for that song starts with a car driving on a road, at night and the car was trying to mow down a man who was running ahead and avoid getting hit by the car, soon the man gives up and falls down, accepting his fate and gets up to see the car reversing, ready to mow him down, at that moment the man notices the petrol leaking from the car, without giving away his intentions, he lights a matchstick and throws it down, the car soon gets burned.
Now, since we don't have a clear picture whether the man did something wrong or it was the car's fault(they don't show the driver), we all assume that the role of the bad guy is being played by the car and at the end, it gets what it deserved.
That's called karma and at times it can be a real bitch.
