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.”

Parenting Maybe Amazing but It’s Not Easy

There’s nothing more satisfying than being a mom but I would be lying if I said it didn’t come with its fair share of challenges. You can read all the books for parental guidance , ask your pediatrician a million questions, scout advice from veteran moms; but let’s agree upon the fact that every child is unique with different needs. What one person might swear by may not work in your case. This can cause a lot of worry and frustration. There is no one size fits all guide. If there was, all parents would be raising perfect kids and they would be a lot less stressed out. But truth be told: parenting is no walk in the park. Parenting turns individuals into warriors. Cradling a crying baby while doing house chores, cleaning poop that’s been smeared all over the place, carrying your sleeping toddler while looking out for his belongings all take a lot of strength and courage. Most parents don’t even realize when they turn into warriors. However, by the end of their role as a new parent, the...

The Effects of Meditation

She watched helplessly as he walked slowly to the door. Almost like he was hoping she would stop him. But that had never been her way. Today, he was leaving. Just like he had been telling her for two long years. Preparing her, steeling her for his inevitable departure. Her lips trembled as he reached the door. One hand on the doorknob, he turned to look at her one last time. “Bye Ma.” His voice came out a whisper and just for a moment, she was taken back twenty-one years ago to when he spoke his first word. Didi – a whisper, a sliver of voice just like now. His sister had shrieked in delight and picked him up, swung him around as they both laughed unabashedly. Her eyes filled with tears as she looked at him now, six foot one, and more far away than she had ever imagined him being. “Bye.” Her voice was a whisper too and she knew she was on the verge of a breakdown. If he was leaving, it had to be now. Almost as if he knew, he gave her a smile and turned away, but not before she caught ...

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...
