K is for KARMA

“How people treat you is their karma; 

how you react is yours.”

- Wayne F. Dyer

"It would be nice to think that there is such a thing

as Karma,

that a louse is gonna come back as a fly

and eat shit,

or as a politician

and speak it." 

 - Groucho Marx

Is There Such A Thing

As Karma?

Does what goes around, come around?

It would be nice to think so.  But how to prove it?

Some people seem to get away with murder, both figuratively and literally.

Seem being the important word there. 

How do we know their internal lives?  

What would bring us contentment might only fan the flames of their insatiable hunger for more. 

In the movie, KEY LARGO, Humphrey Bogart tells Rocco the crime lord, Edward G. Robinson,

that he knows what the criminal wants.

"You want more, Rocco."

"Yeah, that's what I want.  More!"

"Will you ever get enough, Rocco?"

"No. No, I don't think I will."

And that, my friends, is what I think is the definition of Hell ... always hungry for more. 

 We Are The Hollow People

Each selfish act scoops out a portion of our souls.

Each act made against the inertia of self-interest builds us up. 

Sadly, most people are only as good as their opportunities to be bad without witnesses.

Yet, each act sculpts us in ways we do not understand until years after the fact.

I believe Karma is something we do to ourselves.
