What Goes Around....

Recently a lecturer of mine left the country to go work in Saudi. Apparently he had fallen out of favour with the Big Boss. This was the same lecturer who once tried to entice me to join USM. But certain things happened and i eventually turned down his offer. After that his whole demeanour changed towards me and he couldn't be bothered to help me out when i had problems with my candidature, eventhough he was the person in charge of postgrads. I remember thinking at that point that one day his arrogance would all come back and bite him in the arse...and,well.....it eventually did.

When i first find out about his big fall from grace i laughed. But it was mixed with a tinge of sadness cos i was once very close to him and he really was a brilliant academician. Fame and power just got to him and ended costing him everything. And as it turns out it is quite impossible to be happy about someone else's misery nevermind that that person could be your worst enemy.
Weird i know

I was relating this story to my close friend at work who is handicapped and then she told me bout these two morons at work who were absolutely cruel to her just because they never liked the fact that she used to tell them how to do their work (they were her subordinates by the way). One was a bear of a man who actually locked her office door behind him and started threatening her and yelling at her. The other was this bitch who actually tried tripping her when she walked past. Can u imagine???!!!! Trying to trip a handicapped woman??!! I think even Satan himself would find that in bad taste!
Anyway that bitch went on to have a kid who is now handicapped and the fat bastard had a stroke and is now paralysed!
Talk about karma man!

And i told you guys bout my ex-boyfriend who cheated on me with another girl whom he then ended up marrying right?
Well she left him for another man!

You know i thought i would take joy with all the payback these losers are finally getting but there isn't anything pleasant about something horrible happening to someone...no matter that they're worse than pond-scum. It is actually quite sad that two people who once loved each other now live completely different lives...as if the other never existed and was never the center of their universe once upon a time.

If anything all this has taught me to just be nice to people.
ALL THE TIME.
I do sometimes sit and plot and think about all the horrible things i'd like to do to certain people out there (yes i feel the need to generate some demon-energy every now and then...), but then i think to myself that it really isn't my place to 'payback' anyone for what they've done to me in the past. And even if i try to justify that they deserve it, it would still just count as a 'bad deed' and the karmic cycle would just be perpetuated again and again and again...

It just doesn't pay being a bitch or a bastard to someone cos, trust me...one way or the other, it WILL come back to you

Karma is a vengeful-little bitch and you'd do well not to mess with her.
