Ikaw naniniwala ka ba sa karma?
Nag-rant ang isang netizen sa isang online community kung saan ikinuwento niya kung paano umano minalas nang malala ang dalawa niyang kaibigang babae kumpara sa mga "cheater" ex-boyfriend ng mga ito, na maganda na raw ang buhay at happily married na ngayon.
Sa online community na reddit, ibinahgi niya ang kuwento ng dalawa niya raw kaibigan na "wonderful women," at "great catch" kung ilarawan niya.
"I have two friends who are in their mid-30s. Both wonderful women and great catch talaga sila (beauty & brains, super nice, funny, gaan kasama, etc). They were both in long-term relationships but ended up getting cheated on. Bilang classy girlies, they handled the situation gracefully.
"Wala masyadong drama when they found out, no violent confrontation whatsoever, walang pagpaparinig sa social media kahit subtle lang, at walang sinabing masama tungkol sa mga gagong exes nila. Basta they tried their best na lang to move on and thankfully, they did naman. One of them is in a relationship na ulit," kuwento niya.
Sumunod dito yung part na maganda na raw ang buhay no'ng mga "naglokong" ex-boyfriend.
"Anyway, ito yung part na naiinis talaga ako. Yung mga gagong ex nila both ended up marrying yung mga kabit nila. Parehas nang pamilyado and living their best lives abroad. Samantalang yung isang friend ko struggling with her mental health and nawalan ng trabaho. Tapos yung isa naman sobrang minamalas din, nasira bahay dahil sa bagyo, nanakawan, and kahit malaki kumita, on the verge of bankruptcy na kasi in and out sa hospital yung mom for the past 3 years," aniya.
Patutsada niya, "Bakit kung sino pa naagrabyado sila pa ang minamalas ng malala?? Bakit yung mga ex nila sobrang ayos ng buhay and thriving?? I feel really bad for my friends. Sobrang hindi nila deserve 'to. Ang unfair talaga ng mundo!!"
Kaugnay nito, umani ng iba't ibang reaksyon ang naturang post.
"The concept of karma is vastly misunderstood, tho. It's not 'you do good, and good things will happen to you'. It's more like 'you do good and the world is much better and you live in it so it affects you too.'"
"If karma was real, why do we have the politicians that we do? This is a fallen world, justice isn't found in this world, it's found in the next."
"Di na ako naniniwala sa karma after two of my exes did me so wrong and in the end kinasal din sila and lived happily. Minsan lang parang nagkakakarma yung iba kasi sa sobrang sama nila, nagiging reckless din sila kaya napupunta sila sa bad situations. :/"
"I dont believe in Karma, couping mechanism lng yan ng tao. The concept of fairness is something human defines, and there's no universal thing such as fairness."
"Same question ko din yan. Parang di na ko naniniwala sa karma kase may mga kilala din akong ganyan"
"samedt. Minsan naiisip ko baka may malaking kasalanan akong nagawa sa past lives ko kaya naeexperience to hahaa though I don't believe it naman. Pero di ba lang ang unfair"
"Tbf naman, di tayo sure kung they are really living their best lives lalo na kung yung mga hearsay or yung mga pinapakita lang sa socmed nila ang nakikita natin hahaha"
"Life is random. Bad things can happen to good people, while good things can happen to evil ones. There are good people who die young, while here in the Philippines you can see a lot of evil people living long and prosperous lives."
"I believe karma is real, you just have to wait. May oras din yang mga ex nila. Also how can you be sure na yung exes ay “living their best lives abroad”? Maybe it’s just what you see on social media. Pero if they really are naman, again, karma is real (for me) and their time will come :)"
