Does what goes around come around?

Nope, I don’t think it really comes around.

I knew this guy about 25 years ago, used people, used his supposedly non-profit organization for personal gain both in notoriety and wealth and I kept telling myself someday this will all come back to bite him on the ass. Recently, after more than 25 years of doing this shit (more than 25 years because I only knew of him for 25 and he was at it much longer than that), some of it was exposed in the media. It damaged the organization somewhat and it’s trying to recover but he’s still not facing any serious consequences.

I know someone else, her crimes aren’t serious, just your basic hypo-Christian stuff. Talk of loving everyone while talking trash about others or stabbing them in the back, type stuff. But everything still goes her way. One thing recently did come back around in an eensy weensy way but I don’t think it really mattered to her anymore because of the other stuff she has going her way.

On a smaller scale maybe, every so often you see the jerk that cut you off pulled over on the side of the road by a cop or get stuck behind a massive slow-down while you cruise on by and you feel a little better for having witnessed the immediate karmic retribution. On the larger scale, no, at least if it does it moves at such glacial speed as to be virtually unnoticeable.

Well, I think it does always come around. It’s just that when it comes around for a real jerk you don’t notice due to the fact that you don’t care. I truly believe that every human being suffers. It’s just the worse someone is, the bigger waste of time it is to consider.

Yes and no, it depends on if there were witnesses or not.

If one is an asshole to someone, that person may get treated as such by said person or witness later in life. What came around in this instance is revenge.

If one is an asshole to someone on the other side of the world and gets hit by a bus at a later time… what came around did not come around, it’s only a coincidence.
