Karma.
Do you believe in it?
I do. What is karma you may ask? It's none other than divine retribution - when you do good, you get good back. When you do bad, you get bad back. It's simple, yet confusing at the same time.
Lets say Person A hated Person B very much. After they finally end their war and stop conciliation with each other, Person A moves on to be friends with Person C. However, Person C does not seem to care much about Person A, and thus Person C hates Person A. This vicious cycle.. it never seems to intrigue me.
However, karma can work the other way round - doing good can give you good results. Easily you can tell that if you put in effort in your work, you get good results. Treating someone to the best you can gives you good karma.
Today, I met some of my friends for an outing. As I sat down on the stone chair waiting for the train to arrive, I looked around. Everyone seemed to be in their own business, and I wondered how it was like to be in their shoes. Why do we exist? Why are we here, at this very moment? What is the meaning of life?
These questions immediately popped up in my mind. I just.. couldn't find an answer. Even the smartest of minds I believe, cannot comprehend the meaning of their existence. What happens when you die? Where do you go? Is there reincarnation?
These questions can never be answered.
