Karma

    "Good karma will come to you." --Ames (Janet Montgomery), Human Target
  Karma is a...okay, so we all know the expression. But what is karma, really? I'm not about to go existential on you, but I'd like to discuss this. Mostly because it is a funny word and I enjoy typing it. Karma. K-A-R-M-A. Karma. 
  Okay. Serious now. Sereizzle.
  Maybe karma is like this. You get into an argument with a guy and even though you know you're wrong, you haul off and punch the dude in the face (I'm not speaking from experience here. Don't write letters). Karma could come in a few different forms here. One, it could come in the form of the guy and/or his friends beating the living...well, you know...out of you then and there. Or it could come in the form of his friends beating the tar out of you in a dark alley on your way home (this is why I avoid alleys. I annoy too many people). Or, three, it could come years later, after you've forgotten all about that little incident and think that karma's forgotten you, too. Then that guy turns out to be your new boss and makes your life a living hell. 
  (Now you know for sure I'm not speaking from experience. I've never had a job in my life)
  Good karma probably works like this, too. That might wait a little while as well. Say you push a little boy out of the way of a car and then, ten years later, you win the lottery.
  (I've never won the lottery, either)
  Hm. I gotta go push someone out of the way of a car. 'Bye! 
  P.S.--Anyone got any lottery numbers for me?
