Karma

"Nobody is perfect all the time, but in my experience most of the people who decide to act like big assholes aren’t intending on doing it “just this once.” They have specific parts of their personality that are unlikely to change that make them want to act like an asshole. If they are reasonably intelligent and have some modicum of self-control, they’ll try to get their jollies without getting in too much trouble. Eventually they act out at the wrong time, and then they get what’s coming to them. So I feel like at the core of karma is that if you have bad habits or tend to treat people badly, eventually you’re gonna either get your reputation ruined or treat someone badly who is going to have a reaction that is costly to you."
