Does karma come back on others? Any examples directed related to their traitorous behaviour?

BoundaryGirl3939 · 2024-12-14T23:05:36+00:00

Do you have examples or evidence of karma come back on the perpetrators? Do people reap what they sow eventually? I'm asking because I've been f*cked over by a colleague. She will get away with what she's done as she didn't break any rules but morally what she did was very, very wrong and cruel. I 100% didn't deserve it but she has since gaslit me and acts as though she did nothing wrong. In reality she is a snake in the grass and I'm only realising this now. I'm wondering if she will pay on some level for this?

Karma does catch you, eventually. My line manager was forcing me to work 12 hr night shifts, late shifts that ended at 10. I reminded her that I was contracted for 9-5 and on my contract it stated no out of hours due to my health issues( several autoimmune conditions that require a boring,rigid routine. I have had to overhaul my lifestyle just be 'normal' and be able to carry on working).
She bullied me calling me unprofessional,not flexible, not a team player in front of everyone -no one spoke against her cos she's a tyrant. Any how I went to the union had a meeting with her boss, occupational health and HR and even they couldn't understand why I had to have a formal meeting to keep my hours when it was already agreed.

I carried on with my 9-5 and she was seething.
Fast forward a year she was off sick for a long time, came back to work with a diagnosis of the illness that I had. She had the audacity to ask me questions on how to cope with said illness. She works from home 3 days a week because her body can't cope yet last year she was forcing me to work nights. Karma is a wonderful thing 😊

Karma isn't our personal tool of revenge, it's a Buddhist concept of our actions from a previous life being addressed in the next.

I'm sorry you are hurt but sadly sometimes shit happens and holding a grudge hoping that another person will experience adversity impacts more on us than the other person

ohyesido · 15/12/2024 05:55

Having said that, in the Wiccan world it is said that what we send out comes back times 3.

leafybrew · 15/12/2024 06:08

Sometimes karma (or the Universe/whatever) does come back - with avengence. To be fair, when this happened to someone I know, I did end up feeling really sorry for them because it was utterly horrible what had happened to them.

The person 100 per cent recognised and apologised for their previous actions; and gained empathy the hard way.

Wow. Just wow. It really does come back.

It's a lesson for us all to remember that our actions all have a consequence. It's a spiritual law.

What @Begonias has described isn't karma, it's coincidence. You can read 100s of threads on here about the shocking behaviour of dads re-writing history and abandoning their kids with no problems. If karma was real, they would all be punished and most never are as it's coincidence. Times that by many more for the shit parent threads, shit friend threads etc.

The same concept exists in Christianity. You reap what you sow. Every sin will follow you. Ive worked with her over a decade with no issue. Just so shocked by her scheming.
I think she has destroyed herself with her complete lack of empathy, cruelty and lies. The strange thing is that the same thing was done to her just a few weeks ago which is weirdly coincidental. Staff was shocked. And she doesn't seem to see the pattern that she did it to me.

I think most people accept that Karma is a complex Buddhist concept, while also knowing that it in common parlance it also means someone getting their comeuppance.

I can't stand these kinds of responses on these threads. It's clear what OP means and what kind of responses she's looking for.

Yes, OP I've experience of this. Absolutely bullied out of my home by psycho neighbours. Police involvement, the works. Was in a good financial position to finally buy detached and moved out. Found out through the grapevine that the couple who bought from us were even more bloody psycho and now she's getting all the noise and abuse we had to deal with for years. I hope they piss each other off for years to come.

Do they end up happier though after abandoning their wives/children? They mess up their support network leading to adult children who will resent them years later.

Does the same thing happen to these fathers in old age? Are they abandoned and uncared for by their children?

So if something bad happens to a person how do you know it is karma to blame compared to it would have happened anyway?

So does karma actually exist or is this something people make up to male themselves feel better?

If a person has something bad happen to them could it be considered karma from something they did in their past?

Jabtastic · 15/12/2024 08:12

I think what people call Karma is usually just the law of natural consequences.

So if someone treats people unpleasantly they will sometimes end up alone. And then people say oh it's Karma but it's really just people around them developing better boundaries and retreating. Of course sometimes they don't end up alone because people continue to indulge them!

Sometimes it's too coincidental for it to be a coincidence. How odd the same thing was done to her later in life. It's so strange.

I know what you mean.

Sometimes karma is weirdly specific. What the person did to another, life will then do to them. It's as though life/universe/God/karma is teaching them a lesson. Or punishing them.

It would be lovely if karma were a real thing but it isn't.
Donald Trump is President elect. How's that karma?

TreesWelliesKnees · 15/12/2024 08:20

No, I don't believe in this. But I do believe that if you are a sneaky, unpleasant person it will eventually be clear to others and you will likely end up very lonely and have to do some reckoning with yourself.

user1471538283 · 15/12/2024 08:20

I think it does happen. I don't think you get away with treating good people badly.

I had 2 sets of horrible neighbours. I sold at a loss and it took me years to recover. A year later both my ex neighbours moved as they had both experienced problems with the person who bought my house.

I had a LM who bullied me do badly I was off sick for 7 months. Within a few years she became very sick.

I have an awful summer and I've been treated badly professionally and personally. I think one of my ex friends is already experiencing karma.

This has taught me that even though you would never do it to someone, they will do it to you and you never really know someone.

saraclara · 15/12/2024 08:22

This is all bollocks.

Sorry, but if your version of karma exists, then why do awful things happen to thoroughly good people?

When 'karma' hits the way you want it to, it's largely coincidence and nothing more.

This is what I was going to ask. I had abusive parents, I was taken into care and have an ACE score of 10. As an adult I’ve been raped by a stranger in the street, had two miscarriages, lost a home through debt, had a child with disabilities, been in a long DV marriage, had ME/CFS for my entire adult life along with a catalogue of other health problems…

The idea that karma exists means that I must have brought these things on myself by being a bad person. I don’t believe this. Sometimes bad people live charmed lives, and good people have a lifetime of shit. For most of us, there’s good AND bad (mostly good) no matter how good or bad we are.

Tracystubbs · 15/12/2024 08:37

I dunno about karma as such but life took its revenge many times over the years

My ex-hed been shagging my best mate all the way through a very bad pregnancy and until he was 5 months old

He walked in,they battered the hell out of me and walked out hand-in-hand

Ten days later,drugged out of their brains,they accidentally set her house alight and became homeless

The broke up within the week

A work colleague really shafted me over

She was the type to trample all over you while smiling and pretending to be your friend

In the space of a week,her husband left her and she was arrested for driving (showing off) without a licence and insurance

It's all very interesting. What are the chances that a neighbour more annoying than themselves would move in.

I know someone who was in a very minor car collision. He was not at fault. He planned to use the other drivers insurance to also fix issues that had previously existed and pretend these were caused by the collision (if that makes sense). He ended up having an almighty falling out with the mechanic over something else. In an act of revenge, the mechanic put a substance into engine which wrecked the car. You couldn't make it up.

No, it doesn't exist. It's a mix of coincidence, wishful thinking and confirmation bias. We can see confirmation bias at work in this thread, as you're focusing on the replies from people who have dramatic stories of awful things happening to people who wronged them.

I'm sorry you're hurting, and that your colleague treated you so badly.

ExitPersuedByAMemory · 15/12/2024 08:44

Yes and no. People who possess narcissistic traits might not even realise even karma hits them. They’ll carry on plodding along as though they were the victims in their narrative and not the actual culprits. They’ll twist themselves into pretzels to find a way to blame everyone else.

BlueSilverCats · 15/12/2024 08:45

Karma is not a thing, at least not in the way some posters want it to be. It's just life and sometimes shit happens, in various degrees.

They're angry/resentful but too lazy, unimaginative or willing to do something about it, but they're still gleefully waiting for "karma" to do its thing. When it doesn't, life is unfair , when it does is HaHa!

WilmerFlintstone · 15/12/2024 08:48

Frequently not in my experience.
