Karma is one evil…
I mean that chick is no respecter of persons, emotional state, social status, or religious affiliation…NADA!
And women, don’t think because karma, being spoken of in the feminine tense, has your back because giiiiiiiiiirl, that chick isn’t gender specific in her wrath either!
So you over there… yes you sweetie lurking on this page (mmm hmm, I see you) who left the dude you were in love with for a douche, got married hastily, had children by/with the douche, and then decided years later to leave the douche realizing you still loved the dude, only to find out dude no longer wanted you…
Or you sugar… don’t act like you don’t know I’m talking to or about you… you who allowed yourself to be flown into town for a “great weekend” only to emotionally retreat, pull away for a year or so, pop up, then fly up in hopes of rekindling a flame, only to realize he wasn’t willing to get burned yet again so he, what do you know, emotionally retreated…
And then there’s you honey… yes I’m talking to you child… who was on that “you’re just not my type and I don’t see us being more than friends” tip only to be in tears some time later when he finally walked away because you realized just a little too late what you <could have> had… and not only is he going, going, going… he gone!”
Ahhh damn! Did I strike a nerve ladies?
You need not get pissed at me any guy; what you need to do is worry about karma because that chick right there…
She’s a woman scorned…
She’s a woman on a mission…
She’s a chick not to be f---ed with…
She’s what came out of Pandora’s box baby…
She’s one baaaaaad mamma *shut yo mouth*!
She, according to lady logic, is the reason why guys get got, lads get left lonely, and why Sistas support cynical (and outright stupid) songs by songstresses preaching that ‘Ladies, if he did you wrong, don’t worry because karma will give him his due so you can sleep easy’ BS!
Girl bye!
Regardless who’s right or wrong, any discussion on the topic of karma is extremely engaging. Through the various dialogues I’ve participated in, and in these my thoughts I’m sharing with you, I really believe they need to make a movie about karma and cast Lynn Whitfield to star in that motion picture.
Sidebar: Do not act like I’m the only one who thinks ol’ Lynny Lynn would be PERFECT for the role of karma! After seeing ‘A Thin Line Between Love and Hate’, there is NO other woman who can play that hell in a handbag heffa/woman scorned and on a mission role better than Ms. Whitfield!
Now I’m not saying I’m willing to pay to see it in a theater; I would likely cop a bootleg (don’t judge me)! Actually, you can judge me all you want because I may just use someone else’s Netflix account to watch it just so I don’t support the film financially, BUT... I would still like to see it.
Heck, they made a damned good romantic comedy (or was it a romantic drama?!? I could Google it but don’t really care at this point) based on the whole friends with benefits concept – which by the way is a completely idiotic concept¥ – so I’m sure with as much angst and arguing as there is related to and about karma, a biographical film would be a blockbuster in shanties and suburbs alike.
In all seriousness though, the whole concept of karma creeps me out. I understand the whole circle of life, ying yang (I can’t stand those twins but I have to admit, although I’m ashamed to do so, I thoroughly enjoy their “Whisper” track)ƚ, what goes around comes around concept, but with karma the overarching theme is if/when you mess up, that chick is going to knock, unlike opportunity, at the most inopportune time and be relentless in her revenge… or should I say in her avenging the dirt you done did to others?
You get my point so let’s move on…
To be quite honest, and as far as relationships are concerned, I think way more about (or maybe it’s just a fear of) the wrath of karma than the wrath of the Almighty and that, most times, sets me back on a straight path.
For those that read that last sentence and think I’m a heathen or are quick to judge, kick rocks barefoot…THEN go play in traffic pause for a second, be honest with yourself and think about it: in any moment you’ve contemplated making the not so correct choice, was your first thought “WWJD‡” or was it “I don’t want this to come back and bite me in the a--?”
Indeed that was rhetorical because I already know the answer is likely the latter and not the former which tells me it’s karma that comes to mind more often.
But what is karma? (This question is not rhetorical)
Is she the good ol’ guilt trip, a spook story, our fear factor, or the copout comeback to the question: Who caused things to go wrong?
…karma did!?!

¥ – That NEVER works and anyone who tells you it does or can work is delusional and in need of a lovely white jacket meant to be worn in a very white room!
ƚ – Not to mention the remix with Free made me fall in love with that woman all over again!
‡ – So you’re going to call me a heathen and not know that means ‘What Would Jesus Do’?!? You self-righteous…
