karma

The short film was a little fast at first, but when i watched it again,the message was clear: what goes around comes around. Though therewasn't much time for character development, it was easy to tell whatwas happening. Those who did good in life had good things happen tothem such as winning money. Those that did wrong, suffered theconsequences. A guy steals a purse; he gets hit by a car. While thistheory seems simple and easy, it's not one that alot of people believein.

This theory cannot be proven no matter how hard you try. Too often,good things happen to bad people and no one knows why. It a niceprinciple to live by though. It's nice to believe that if we do noharm, no harm will be done to us in return. This simply is not thecase. While I do still personally believe in Karma, I do not letmyself become naive or blinded by it. It's good to have something tobelieve in. I think it makes you want to be a better person. But thefact is that there are just plain bad people out there and no matterhow much good you do in life, it wont give you some magical shieldagainst all bad things out there. Life is life and it just happens.
