[Mindset] Why Karma Being Bulls#!t shouldn't Stop You Being a Good Person | Episode 077 The GYST of It - Anxiety and Self-Confidence Advice, Guides and Conversations

Karma eh?

If the nicest person you’ve ever met whose had an impossibly hard life won the lottery you’d probably say that there was no-one more deserving of it

And if someone who liked putting kittens on train tracks to watch them die got hit by a train you probably wouldn’t say they deserved what they got. But you might well think it (I’m not judging you.)

I think that as humans it can be quite nice for us to see “bad things” happening to “bad people” and “good things” happening to “good people.”

Please excuse the overuse of “ in that sentence.

The problem is that it simply doesn’t happen that way at all.

One of the nicest most genuine people I’ve ever met, who I knew basically my whole life was struck down with oesophageal cancer. Died 30+ years too soon.

Sadly I’m sure you can easily think of times where life has been wholly cruel to someone genuinely wonderful.

Bad things happen, good things happen, this is irrespective of the saintliness of a person. Put simply there is no such thing as people deserving life’s events.

But this doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t be a good person because good stuff can happen to good people.
The thing is though, it’s got nothing to do with Karma whatsoever.
