Karma, and Why it Can't Exist

Karma is something that many of you have probably heard of. You know when a co-worker's been pissing you off lately and then suddenly they drop something heavy on your foot. Some people call that karma. I call it seeing what you want to see.

The only thing that pisses me off more than Roman Catholics, (This applies to the 95% of them that are basically inane imbeciles that wordlessly follow the Pope. There are good Roman Catholics. They're just hard to find.) is people who believe in karma.

Let's take the Columbine High School incident for example. Just for a brief summary, two kids were bullied for years. Finally they had enough and brought guns to the school, killed 15, and injured 24. Part of the 15 dead were the shooters themselves. Now, some of you might say, "Oh, well they deserved it. Karma lulz." For those of you who think that, there's a special place in Hell for you. While I cannot justify what they did, others would have done the same in their position. Now off the topic of this and back to karma. There was no karma in this. Saying that this was karma is like saying the Americans deserved 9/11, albeit on a much smaller scale. It's not right.

Second off, karma, much like God, isn't real. While God is fine and all for giving people something to believe in and blame suicide bombings on, he still isn't real. Just because of a coincidence that seems like karma happens, doesn't mean it's real. It's a pathetic self-justification for getting pleasure from other people's pain and suffering. In other words, even the belief of karma is immoral. You're justifying the pain of others.

Karma is often used by those who want to derive amusement from other's pain without feeling bad. It's like punching someone who called you a name and calling it karma. When a person that was previously mean to you trips a month later, it's not karma. It's not even close. There's a month's difference between the incidents. Even if it happens right after, it's just a coincidence.

I mean, if you believe in karma, then all those suicide bombings, all those dead people, deserved it. Everyone. You can't argue against that without making karma a thing with certain exceptions, much like the hate of the Roman Catholic Church.

In conclusion, karma is used as an excuse for people to feel good about getting pleasure from other peoples' pain. It's immoral to justify it. In other words, it's a sick thing. It's a nonexistent lie.
