In this story, if it is real, karma happened multiple times. Just not to your great-granny.

I’m guessing she started with step zero:
- Be attractive.
Used that to get money & then it was easy street from there.
Rules & karma are for ugly poor people…

Karma is a pretty typical human way of rationalizing all the injustice we see in the world. It’s difficult to accept that life is, in fact, unfair

This is a pretty typical Western way of completely misinterpreting karma. It’s supposed to describe how negative energy travels through the world, and white people just think it means “bad thing always happen to bad person”.

That distinction makes exactly zero difference when it comes to my point

Worth noting it is that way in many ways we see in our modern world not because of innate or natural or genetic causes, but due to a very purposefully built system designed to aid some at the expense of others, no more sacred or divine than the right of kings.

Your perspective needs a small shift.
- The first guy will have broken up the family with someone else eventually.
- The second guy was a criminal.
- The third guy was a capitalist.
None of them were good men. Karma was served in a way.

You know marrying Money is a full time job I don’t need the aggravation I’m a lazy slob, I hang fire

I was thinking the same thing. Upward mobility through these means is a 24/7/365 job.

Karma is the tally you carry over to your next life.

Maybe in Buddhism/Hinduism.
The word clearly has a different meaning in English, which is what we use it for.

Fine. If that is how we are going to approach the issue then all I can say is that karma was served for those three men. The wan was the agent.

I mean did you inherit any of this

I believe karma exists, but it’s decided by each person for themselves. If you have guilt about something, you’ll find a way to punish yourself or surround yourself with people who will. If you’re a narcissist and/or are too stupid to have guilt, you will seem to get off with no repercussions. In the end though, the people with no guilt, also can’t feel. Life tastes pretty bland, so that’s a punishment in itself.
TL/DR: Make peace with person/people/yourself on things you feel guilt about.

The secret is to get filthy rich, I guess. Money ≠ Repercussions.

This is the Red Pill. Pass it on. We need more people to wake up to the true enemy.

People don’t want to wake up. They see horrors every day and look no further than the surface of them. They are horrified by things they do not even begin to understand. But they’ll push a narrative if you put it in front of them and they feel reasonably selfrighteous about it.
That’s why nobody is out there actively eating the rich and becoming the Luigi they want to see in the world.
