thanks to renniekins for starting this idea, and moominmolly for reminding me.

Do you have a secret? Something you've been wanting to get off your chest but have nobody to tell? Or something you couldn't imagine saying to anyone to their face?

It's time. Anonymous posting is on. IP logging is off. You have to post anonymously. (I will delete non-anonymous comments!) And you are not allowed to tell me what you posted -- that's part of what makes it fun!

Let's hear it, folks. And make it a good one!

Lately I have been enjoying a massive bout of Schadenfreude toward three people who have wronged me in the past. Nothing like living to see people's bad karma catching up with them.

God, you're lucky. So many people who do wrong just seem to go on through life in a Cluseau-esque protective bubble, having their bad behavior reinforced. It is rare that you get to see bad karma catch up in one lifetime.

People who gleefully observe their acquaintances 'getting what they deserve' are frequently not nearly as innocent as they would like to believe themselves to be.

This attitude is why your life sucks. If you think it doesn't, then your childish pettiness is even more pathetic. Do you think karma only applies to other people?

Feel free to go on imagining that you know anything else about my life than this tiny slice of it.

Karma is a social invention, a product of a culture where 99.999999% of the populace was desperately poor and the remaining few vastly rich, where a religion/belief system that would teach one to be content with one's lot was considered most desirable.

That's all, really.

... and the notion of living to see someone's "bad karma" catching up with them actually goes against this classic defintion of karma, which balances out in /future/ lives.

Seeing someone get their just deserts in a reasonable time frame is satisfying, even if not very productive.
