Fate, luck, karma...

I don't know if you believe in fate, luck or karma...

I think when it all comes down to it, I do believe in fate and luck but I believe we have more power over it than we think, especially with fate. I'm a very strong believer in karma because I'm pretty sure it's kicked me in the arse several times. On most occasions its been at work where on a Friday afternoon where there was a job that I've been told to leave such as the sausage filler, for Adam who was there the next day. So I'd go off continuing my job as per usual but deep down I was proper happy and thinking 'sucker! muahaha!' [No offense Adam if you're reading haha]. Of course, then the next day came and Adam had called in sick which meant I went in and covered for him resulting in me having to do the sausage filler. This happened 3 times in the space of a month and now I've learned NEVER to do that again.

Personally, I think karma keeps the universe in order and one thing can knock this and cause a series of good or bad things to happen. And if you're bad, they say 'what goes around, comes around' - I think that saying is so true because I do generally think that if you do something bad, it will come back around to punish you, even something small.

The thing that really confuses me is when bad things happen to good people. I know a great man who worked hard in his life and was one of the greatest men I ever met, a 'real diamond in the rough' but he was a good man who got cancer and sadly passed away. The fact of it is that I couldn't get over was this man was a good man and then this happened! Yet you see scum walking the streets who haven't done a day of work in there life and doing drugs and are a complete waste of air space and they tend to have nothing really go terribly wrong in there life. Why does this happen? I couldn't even take a guess because it's incredibly fucked up.

Moving on to fate. This is the main one I believe we have more power of it that we think. It's like love - I used to think that there was one person out there for everyone but now I don't. I believe people can be so attracted to their personality and everything about them that it can cause people fall in love. But at the same time, the word 'love' is thrown around SO much these days that it's lost 90% if it's meaning. People move from one girl/boy to another and claim they love each one of them, that again to me - is fucked up. I know people who have been in love, I know people who are in love and I know people who could potentially be in love. I think to achieve 'love' is that you have to have a certain amount in common and a certain amount of complete opposites. There are certain opposites that people can't deal with and it just wouldn't work such as I think there would be a lot of strain if you supported very different political parties but other things such as food, drink and even music.

I think luck is a very stodgy area because you see some people who everything just happens to fall for them in anything and everything. Again, I know people that everything's just happened for them and I know people who are bad luck ridden (such as my parents). But it's different to karma because not always bad people get luck. I have a friend who left a band and fell right on his feet and ended up in a band that was bigger than his original band, he's a good lad and it's happened for him and I always route for people like that, if they're good people and something good happens to them, then I'm all for it. Occasionally, and I'm definitely not on my own on this, some people (including myself) can have a degree of envy of them even if they are genuinely happy for them. Especially if you're going through a rough patch in your life and nothing seems to be working but in my opinion, that's human. A lot of people find themselves questioning why they get bad luck when they've done nothing wrong and I don't think anyone can answer it because it's like karma, it can be fucked up sometimes.

Cheeeers for reading my blah blah! :) xx
