Why Do I Believe In Karma?

I posted this message January 12th and again on February 18th. I am re-posting it because I have received several emails from my readers who are not comfortable posting their comments. They have been asking why does God allow perpetraitors to get away with all the evil happening around the World!

I'd like to share the following question that was posed to me by an Anonymous person on the Housing Panic Blog in response to a comment I made regarding the current state of affairs in the U.S.A. I believe this is a question that a lot of people have asked around the World.

Although I would LOVE to see Justice prevail and Angelo Mozillo of Countrywide Financial et al hanged in public... I know now it is not going to happen. Not with this government and regulators in charge of this once great U.S. of A. Nevertheless, I am a great believer in Karma! What goes around really does come around. Angelo et al will, one way or another, be brought to their knees, if not extinguished altogether by a Greater Power!

With all due respect, why do you believe in Karma? People get away with murder and rape everyday. Crimes are being committed this very minute to innocent victims of which the perpetrators will never pay for what they've done. What I'm asking is "Where or when do people pay for what they've done, unless you’re talking about an afterlife, maybe?"

That is a very good question.

I don’t pretend to know everything. In fact, I don’t take credit for the things I write. I sometimes get blown away with the written material that comes out of me.

What I do know however is that God gave us ALL free-will to make our own choices, right vs. wrong. I do know that we have been given the responsibility to genuinely care for one another, to stand up for those who can not. We have also been given the responsibility to care for this planet and everything in it. After all, this planet is our home and every person is our neighbor.

All of those people you mentioned that have caused injustice and iniquity in this World can only continue if WE allow them to continue! These perpetrators will get away with as much as they can as long as WE keep turning the other cheek, turning a blind eye, remain silent and complacent to their actions and existence! We are only victims if we continue allowing them to victimize us and others!

It is OUR duty to shed LIGHT on them! Expose them for what they are and stop them from continuing to damage and spreading their dis-ease throughout the World! Don't try to make sense of their actions. These perpetraitors obviously have no conscience or they wouldn't be committing these acts of violence in whatever way, shape or form! You can not rationalize the irrational; why bad things happen to good people. However, WE can do whatever it takes to prevent such events from re-occuring.

As for their fate, only God knows how that will play out. But that is not for us to waste our time worrying about where or when. It is in letting go and handing the situation over to God that we find our inner peace. Besides, there is nothing for us to gain in worrying, by doing so we're simply giving 'them' power over our well-being and yes they win. However, if we can let go and center ourselves, we will be better equipped (by being able to think clearly) in order to continue to fight the good fight of faith and therefore make a difference! Just trust and know that God is ultimately in control... Nevertheless, WE are still held responsible to do our part, to do the 'right' thing making sure such atrocities never happen again!

If these heinous crimes bother you so much, get involved! How are you contributing to society? You can start within your community, or join an organization to fight a cause that you feel passionate about to change. I have provided my readers with a list of organizations on the right side of my blog. I feel that the worst crime is having knowledge of such things and not doing anything about them, simply remaining indifferent!
