One concept I wish I fully believed in is karma. Karma basically suggests that, in the end, we get what we deserve. It's probably the biggest reason why I hope there's an afterlife and it exists there, because no matter how much I wish the contrary, it certainly doesn't exist in this lifetime.
I hear it at least once a day: "Karma is a b*tch" or "Karma will get you" or simply just "Karma." Sure, there may times when we hear or read stories about an awful person receiving what seems to be justice, and perhaps in an unusual, almost ironic way, but what percentage of the times does this actually happen? My guess is less than 5%, and that's probably an overestimation. What about the reverse? How often do good people ultimately get rewarded for their kind deeds? Much less than I'd like to see.
Also, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the name Donald Trump. Here's a guy who's spent his 70+ years in this world: Sexually harassing and assaulting women; cheating on three wives; ripping off minorities; spreading hate, anger, and fear; lying; going through bankruptcies; paying porn stars he had affairs with hush money; corrupting pretty much anything he touches, yet he was handed millions by his father; provided every business opportunity imaginable due to his father and his father's connections; surrounded by business savvy people to help him transform his millions into billions; and ultimately become President of the United States. If there's anyone who deserves "karma" to bite them in the backside and hard, it's this guy.
In the end, my hope is that there is an afterlife, that rich a*sholes like Donald Trump finally get what's coming to them and that good, decent, hard-working people, who may not have received such grand breaks during this life, get rewarded.
