Why Bad Things Happen With Good People: Is Karma For Real?

We all somewhere grew up hearing that good things happen with good people and bad things happen with bad ones. 

And, that’s how the law of karma works! That’s what most people believe, at least! These are some amazing Karma Quotes for you to better analyse the law of karma. 


So, when faced with adversity, pain, and trauma, we start questioning our karma.


Why me? Am I a bad person? What did I do wrong? Why is all this happening to me?


But is it the right way to perceive the law of karma? I think no!


As humans, when we enter this world, trials and tribulations are going to be a part of our being. One cannot shy away from difficulties and pain, no matter what. They are part and parcel of our lives. Even if you are rich or poor, bad or good, or anything, adversities can knock on your door any day, without any invitation. 


So, there’s not always an answer for “why me?”


This also puts a question mark on “why do bad things happen with good people?”


The simple answer, as far as I know, is it just happens!


Even if you are a criminal or a saint, difficulties can arrive in your life. You might get sick, lose a loved one, be cheated by a friend, and more! 


Of course, I believe how you make out of these things-will shape you in real ways. That’s where your karma works!


If somebody did something very wrong with you, so, now, are you gonna react the same way with them?


Are you also gonna use harsh adjectives for the person who hurt you, as in, a narcissist? Here are some Karma Narcissist Quotes to comprehend the repercussions of the law of karma in a relationship with a narcissist. 


If so, then I think you can question your karma. Otherwise, if you believe in the power of gratitude, forgive but don't forget, then your karma is practical and built on the right basis.


“Karma is not some sure-shot for good things happening to you. Instead, it’s one of the tools to live with calmness, patience, and composure, even if the tide is against you.”

What is Happiness – and Other Inanities

I know, I know. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of articles out there describing happiness and what it means, how to discover what makes us happy etc. etc. I’m not here to talk about any of that. Let’s play a game instead. Ready? And I want you to really play it, not just read it. Let’s begin. Think of someone you admire or love. This person could be a fictional character from a favourite book or TV show; they could be a celebrity, an entrepreneur perhaps. They must be someone though who is not accessible to you in daily life. You don’t have any chance of meeting them or speaking with them but you really wish that you could. Have you thought of someone? Okay, good! Now, take a few minutes and make two lists – five questions you want to ask this person and five things you want to tell them. And as you jot each down, imagine yourself asking or telling them these things; imagine also their reaction. How would they respond to your questions? What would they say to your sharing? I wan...

A Self-Important Life

  “Modesty is the colour of virtue.” The essence of this saying by Diogenes, a Greek philosopher, has likely shaped our growing-up years. Indeed, to be modest and humble was the very definition of a talented person. The more intelligent one was the more modest one was expected to be. Like anything though, modesty is best had when served in moderate doses. Swing too far the other way and we’ll hit the first of the building blocks that make up our personality – self-esteem. Why is self-esteem important? Quoting Brene Brown, an American professor and author, “Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we are supposed to be and embracing who we are.” High self-esteem naturally breaks down barriers and allows us to step into vulnerability. And what is vulnerability? Accepting ourselves as we are at any given moment. The more vulnerable we allow ourselves to be, the more authentic we become. And this root of being oneself stems from the value we give ourselves – in...

How to Get Rid of Bad Thoughts

  A few years ago, I read a life-changing book. It was called Fast-track to the Stars . Allow me to briefly give you the essence of it. There once lived a monk who had two homes. One was a hut deep in the Himalayan Mountains. The other was a loft in downtown New York City. She lived a life of two extremes – six months of the year was a pristinely quiet and slow life in the mountains, the other six a fast-paced and harried life in the city. The two lives were so different; it was hard to even begin to correlate the two. Where she would softly bathe in a gentle stream near her hut and drink directly from it when she was thirsty, she would have a hurried shower and purchase bottled water for $1.50 near her apartment. Where wild fruit and her own organic vegetable patch sustained her food intake in the mountains, pesticide-sprayed fruit and wilted vegetables with marked-up pricing got her through in the city. Where her slow mornings in her hut would begin at 5:30 AM with the sunrise; a...
