Jan. 5th, 2010 09:35 pmThe popular neopagan (mis)conception of what karma is annoys me to no end, and some people's views of it just makes me sick.
Karma is not the fucking "three-fold law"- and really, don't try to tell me that whatever I do just multiplies exactly three times and bounces back at me. That particular interpretation is just laughable.
People going on and on about how they hope someone's karma "catches up with them" or wanting to do spells to speed up people's karma is irritating. But then you have people saying things like "Maybe their karma is already biting them- maybe their parents abuse them or someone they love is dying of cancer!" makes me want to hurl.
No one deserves to be abused, and the idea that someone else is dying of a horrible disease as a punishment for one's actions...it's disgusting.
Karma is the results of your actions throughout your lifetimes. It's not having abusive parents because you're a snotty bitch.
(Yes, this example is taken directly from an actual forum post.)
(And don't get me started on the "everything happens for a reason" and "people choose to reincarnate into their lifetime and choose what's going to happen to them because they need to learn a lesson schools of thought...)
