I had a bad day yesterday.\u00a0 The irony in that statement is the fact that the day was neither good nor bad until I decided to go do a good deed, only for just about everything about it to blow up in my face and effectively make me feel that the day was now a bad one.<\/span><\/p>\n Seriously, from a supposedly \u201cshouldn\u2019t take too long\u201d task ending up taking close to two hours of my life I\u2019ll always feel to have been permanently wasted, which then put me into the perfect time frame to be in teeth of Atlanta\u2019s perpetually idiotic Interstate 20-related traffic nightmare, all while it was raining; can we cut it out with the fucking rain, world?\u00a0 I think we get the point that global warming or whatever weather-related scientific downfall was all our fault, and that we\u2019re subject to spontaneous shit weather, but enough of the rain.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Needless to say that by the time I had passed I-20 and was actually somewhat cruising, I was pretty disgruntled and angry with the world, and wondering when the fuck karma was going kick in, and some good fortune actually come my way for doing good things for others.<\/span><\/p>\n And then it occurred to me how fucking silly I must be, thinking that positive karma actually exists, because not that I\u2019m keeping count by any stretch of the imagination, but I think I do, and have done plenty of nice things for others, and I honestly can\u2019t really remember the last time any sort of good fortune came my way.\u00a0 Ultimately, I think that\u2019s what makes things worse, it\u2019s like the cherry on top of a shit sundae, where I hope that me suffering through a time-consuming, aggravating task accumulates enough good will to where it will get cashed in for something excellent later down the line, because as far as I\u2019m concerned, that will frankly never happen.<\/span><\/p>\n The bottom line is that I need to really stop believing that doing good will return good my way at any time, because that\u2019s really setting my life up to have one gigantic colossal disappointment that I\u2019d be best at avoiding from here on out, because frankly the world does not owe us anything, and I sure as shit shouldn\u2019t expect any positive luck to head in my direction all because of the accumulation of bullshit positive karma.\u00a0 It\u2019s simply best if I just stop believing in positive karma.<\/span><\/p>\n Contrarily, I\u2019m definitely not going to stop believing in negative karma.\u00a0 If I went a full 180 and started telling people off, doing real-life troll things to other people, no doubt I\u2019d be asking for a car accident, getting pulled over for going 2 mph over, or some sort of cosmic payback for deliberately being a dick to the world.\u00a0 I hate to sound pessimistic, but it\u2019s way too easy for bad things to happen to those who are asking for it, and in that regard it chalks up to the \u201clife is like baseball\u201d analogy, where outs, the worst thing in baseball, are seemingly way, way, way easier to come across than the vastly positive RBIs.<\/span><\/p>\n This doesn\u2019t mean that I\u2019m going to cease doing good things for others, because that\u2019s just not my nature to shun the world deliberately, no matter how much I wish I could, especially if there are people in need and I\u2019m available to help.\u00a0 It\u2019s just that I\u2019m not going to expect that anything genuinely good to really come out of it afterward, and that the time spent helping someone else is legitimately gone for good.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I had a bad day yesterday.\u00a0 The irony in that statement is the fact that the day was neither good nor bad until I decided to go do a good deed, only for just about everything about it to blow up in my face and effectively make me feel that the day was now a … Continue reading Time to cease believing in karma<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[15,105,10,96],"class_list":["post-38181","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-brog","tag-og","tag-rage","tag-traffic","tag-weather"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38181","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=38181"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38181\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":38183,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38181\/revisions\/38183"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=38181"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=38181"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=38181"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
