No Mr. Bond, I EXPECT YOU TO DIE!

No, not you James (UNDFTD)…
I’ll get to that in a few minutes.
Right, so I’m not a very religious person, really… but I FIRMLY believe in karma.
I’ve had some deep discussions about karma with some of my good friends, some of which are really intelligent.  Some said “Bee, you’re nuttier than squirell shit” and some said “absolutely, karma is a muthafucka!”
I’m not talking about somebody very close to me dying in a horrible cheese grating accident, but more along the lines of shit coming back to you threefold for doing some foul shit when you were younger, type steez.
I really try and be a good person, especially dealing with people day in, day out. Unfortunately, sometimes ‘they’ win, and I loose my mind after explaining to somebody 19 different ways, that I can’t do a portrait of The Last Supper on your thumb because “some chick said she saw it on some tattoo show”.
I mean, is senor karma gonna pay me a visit just as I’m getting my prostate exam? when does it come back at ya? I dunno. Hell, who does know? I guess that’s the whole point of me trying to be a ‘good’ person (good being the relative term).
Do you reap all that you’ve sown in proportion? how does it work? Is a lot of it a mental state?

Flip the script for a second – how do you really determine ‘good’?

Is it helping the old lady across the street?
-what if she’s hit by a car as you’re helping her, then what?
Is it calling your mother everyday to see how she’s doing?
-what if you just can’t do it, do to work constraints?
I’m sure the list is indefinite on the ‘what if’s’.
I think that at some point, as you get up there in age, you make your own destiny. When you’re younger, it seems like you feel like you can get away with a lot more (at least I did), and now you’ve gotta pick and choose your actions, especially when you’ve got family/bills/mortgage/responsibilities.

It’s easy to blame karma, since it’s thrown around so much these days.

“damn, homeboy is really doing bad… must be his karma.”
Seems like a short step away from saying they deserve to suffer.

I dunno. I think that the past effects the present, and the present effects the future.
End of. Full stop.

So, how bout them Steelers, eh???
