What Goes Around Comes Around

More than once I've been asked, "Why do some people always seem to get away with stuff?"  And then these people would proceed to tell me how their friend, or aunt, or sister always manage to escape the karmic boomerang. The stories they tell usually involve how these "lucky people" had hurt them but never got retribution for it.

I often thought about this question.  I personally believe in "what goes around comes around" because it never fails to find me if I did something bad.  And it is obviously true in cases like drug lords, mafioso, or crooked cops.  These individuals use violence in their daily lives and often perish by violence.  They inflict fear on others, but they themselves live in constant fear.

Could it be possible that the karmic laws of what goes around comes around apply only to the most vicious people?  Do ordinary people get exempted because their infractions are so small in comparison?  I asked God for an answer.  And He promptly granted me one.  :)

I posted a laptop for sale yesterday.  The responses were immediate because the price was so attractive.  One buy texted me asking all kinds of specifics.  After about half an hour of texting, he said he would like to buy it.  However, he couldn't stop by to buy it until two days from now.  I said OK.

This morning another buyer called and said she's in the neighborhood.  She asked if she could drop by and look at the laptop.  I said sure.  She liked it right away and bought it almost immediately.

I texted the first buyer telling him the laptop is sold so he wouldn't waste his time coming over.  To my surprise I got a series of angry texts saying how "we had deal" and how he really "needed this laptop".  I apologized that he felt that way but that these kinds of sales have always been "first come first serve".  But he was still angry and ended with a warning to me... "what goes around comes around".

I had my answer.  I took a moment to thank God and then had myself a healthy chuckle...not at the expense of the buyer's misery, but at our own petty human nature.

The answer is that NO ONE escapes the "what goes around comes around".  It applies to everyone... from the coldest murderer to the sweetest grandma.  However, it applies to only REAL injuries, involving Love... or more specifically the removal of Love.

The Universe will match your words and deeds automatically...Love for Love and Fear for Fear.  There are no exceptions.  It's just IS.

If you remove Love from the Whole e.g. taking a life, destroying hope, breaking trust, inflicting fear, propagating hate, oppressing free wills, and so on...the Universe will remove the same "amount" of  Love from your own life.  The opposite is true if you instead add Love to the Whole.

The question that most people ask "Why does my friend always get a way with stuff and I can't?" is not a valid question because most of these perceived injuries are NOT real.  What these people actually complaining about is that their egos were bruised.  And like a balloon, the larger the ego the louder the complain.  The "suffering" is due to the fact that someone didn't act the way they had scripted for that person in their heads.  But according to how the Universe sees it...if there is no REAL subtraction to the Love Equation, no retribution is required.

Had I told the first buyer that I would hold it for him and I broke that trust...that would have been a REAL injury.  Then I would have to resign to the fact that I was going to be screwed over in the near future.
