I do hear people say KARMA will catch up with you. Often, it was not said in a happy mood, but in response to an ulterior motive or in a heated argument. Karma is widely accepted as a moral principle that rewards the good and the bad we do. However, sometimes, this Karma does not happen immediately; other times it does. And sometimes, when the deed has been forgotten, it will strike like a whirlwind.

So, Karma is just like a report card or our balance score card. It shows and rewards our good and bad actions. The belief that the voice of men is the voice of God also adds to this Karma. This is because some people are adamant in changing their unquestionable character until Karma starts teaching them life's bitter lessons

However, it is always difficult to say when Karma will happen. I have witnessed a colleague defrauding another colleague of his hard-earned resources using his position, and yet, he stood strong as if nothing had happened. That issue pained me, but we all left it to the laws of Karma, hoping that the said offender would reap his reward in the future. He did, as he was robbed on his way home a few months after that incident.

Furthermore, I have wrongly suspected people of foul play even after they tried to convince me that they carried out their duty to the best of their ability, until one day, a person of a higher authority doubted my ability to deliver on a job. I was hurt. Though silently, I bore that burden and quietly learnt my bitter lessons on how to treat others.

So, do I believe in Karma? Yes, I do, because it reflects the ethos of moral principles in life, which states that we will reap the good and the bad seeds we sow someday.

I will conclude by saying that Karma is a moral principle meant to guide us in our daily chosen path, correct and beat us into a good shape when we misbehave. But the timing is not under our control.
