Some Conclusions

[greyladybast]

1)There is no such thing as "good" karma. There is only bad. What good you do vanishes into the universe, never to be seen again, while the tiniest fuck-up will get you smacked on the head again and again and again and again, for infinity. You can't ever work off bad karma. It just builds and builds, returns and returns and returns, and never stops

Refutation...kind of

1] There is no karma. period. There's people and random chance. It's just because entropy means there's more shitty stuff than good.

2]. God doesn't give a shit. God doesn't even know you exist, because if there is such a being, he's way too busy with the big stuff. It's people that are fucking you over, rich people in boardrooms and Congress who don't know you exist and don't care what their actions do.

3]. Jesus as interpreted by the all-male church came only for the boys. The real Jesus was an ancient jewish version of Che Guevara who hung out with prostitutes and hated money-lenders.

4]. The Goddess is who you think she is. I think she's probably just fed up of humans being arse-holes and is screening our calls.

5]. Yup But it can get better, with a lot of effort.

6]. if you give up trying, let the bastards win, then that's a self-fulfilling prophesy. Survive, and spit in their eye.

7]. Nope, the is no point to anything, it's all meaningless... which means we decide what means to us. Being good is not a defence against shit

There is good karma. Or, at least, random acts of kindness go around and come back multiplied. A couple years ago, when I was leaving the pharmacy, a somewhat disheveled Black woman in her 40s asked me for a ride to a nearby bank. I don't normally give rides to strangers, let alone scruffy-looking ones. But I did. Several months later, when I got a heat exhaustion and was on the border of full-blown heat stroke while hiking, some 5 miles straight walk or 40 miles drive around from my car, with two friends, a family who was hiking in the area and had their car nearby gave us a ride, not to the nearby town, but to my car on the other side of the valley. The good you do/have done will come back, some day, in some way. It always does.

Just hang in there. Out of sheer pride, if for no other reason.
