Does Karma Truly Exist?

A lot of things have happened lately.

As a result, I have been questioning a lot of my understanding of the  people around me, the religion, the world and simply put, the entire universe.

The movie Matrix has always been a personal favorite of mine. It is one of the rare movies that has numerous allusions to the Buddhist belief, Karma.

Getting what you give~if you're mean, you get bad karma~bad things happen. I
f you're kindly & nice, you'll get good karma~good things will happen. - Urban dictionary

Karma is simple, isn't it?

A project fails due to a series of decisions made.

Whatever the consequences arise as the result of a person's actions as well as the actions themselves, is Karma.

A simple cycle of Cause and Effect.

Hence, the accumulated string of consequences that arises from that series of deliberate decisions made during the affair, should lead to the ultimate, unfortunate outcome for the unfaithful spouse.

Does it not?

Or does it really?

I begin to believe that this belief is flawed, perhaps in our eagerness to make ourselves feel better, we chose to hold this belief. Yes, it's comforting to believe that after we are wronged, harmed and hurt by our unfaithful spouse, the higher-order-up-there will ensure that our unfaithful spouse gets his or her due retribution.

However, I believe to realize that in the real bad-ass, crooked world like ours, not every bad person faces the consequences of his or her actions, not every good person reap the rewards from his or her fruits of labor. In other words, not every unfaithful spouses will get their karma; there are some who are so lucky to be able to get away, scot-free.

Case in point?
The pockets of evidences are littered throughout the internet, there are cases where unfaithful spouses  do have an amazing marriage to their affair partners. They never regret ditching and abandoning their spouses and children. To be precise, here is the article which highlights the list of successful affair partner marriages. Wow...Ouch...

Yes, on the flip side, there are also many numerous stories of how the unfaithful spouses get their  retribution in the worst possible manner.

Yes, the lucky ones do get away, scot-free

Unscathed unharmed. And trigger happy. And I happened to see an example played out right before my very eyes.

Fiori cheated on his wife and ultimately divorced Velda so that he can marry her, his mistress (who happened to be my spouse's mistress too). Was iori regretful? No, he was elated that he has finally divorced his wife to be with the girl of his dreams. 

How did she become my spouse's mistress? As soon as Fiori started the divorce proceedings, she became bored, and missed the thrill of messing around with married men; Velda wondered...

...oh the fun, the drama, the chaos and the hurt that she had engineered..why did it all stop? 

Hence, she purposely hooked up with her next target, another married man, my spouse in order to re-experience it all over again, the Rama-drama, the hurt, the hot mess.

My spouse is not a saint either, he has actually been looking out for such women...seeking...waiting. In fact, he adored women who specialize in torrid affairs. So, it was not a coincidence that all his Exes were involved concurrently with multiple men, while they were supposedly in a "committed relationship" with him.

When the affair was exposed to her BF, Fiori , in an attempt to weasel out of the mess she created, she sprouted all sorts of nonsense and lies about him in order to fracture our marriage further. Nevertheless, she was confident that she can get away with her affair with another married man and challenged me to let her recently-divorced BF know about it, since she never believed in Karma.

Which turned out to be true.

I told Fiori about her affair but he pushed all the blame on him, when actually BOTH of them, she and my spouse were responsible. 

To rub salt into the wound, she did not suffer any repercussions, lived her life happily as if nothing has happened. In fact, Fiori was very determined to marry her this year, even though overwhelming evidences which showed that she was more than a willing party.

Fiori , I hope you are reading this. By the time you read this entry, I am sure you are blissfully, ignorantly married, as predicted by her. Your prized wife is nothing but a cheating, lying bitch, BUT you chose to believe her.

The ones that bad karma caught up with...

In short Fiori, who cheated on his wife, finally got cheated on by his mistress, Velda. He told me that since he was worried that another woman would mind his unfaithful past, that became the very reason he decided to marry his mistress. He was determined to go ahead even after I pointed out to him the lies and the statistics which showed that they will highly likely end up in divorce.

My spouse lost his and my family's trust and respect. He also lost me. 

Forever. 

I will never respect him the way before his affair.

The ones who got away...

Obviously, she, that bloody low life is gloating over and basked in her "victory". 

She flaunted the numerous holidays which Fiori sponsored after the affair.  In her exact own words spoken to me, she "never regretted destroying yet another family and that "the husbands and wives deserved it". Fiori 's ex wife deserved it. I deserved it. 

Yet, I couldn't blame her.  The universe responded to her actions by validating her actions time and time again. 

Do you that she cheated on her ex-BF, to be with the married Fiori. Then she cheated on Fiori to be with my spouse? Yet she suffered no consequences, only to be rewarded with more attention, sponsored holidays and a soon-to-be marriage proposal.

In an effort to show his friends that he made the right choice to divorce his wife, in a typical Asian approach to "save face", Fiori covered up all traces of his mistress's infidelity from his family.  In short, none knew that he had cheated on his ex-wife to be with her, and while proceeding with the divorcee with the ex-wife, she cheated on him with my spouse.

She is the happiest gal alive right now. She played her cards right because she already knew that her recently-divorced BF is very determined to marry Her. Which made her bold enough to can cheat on him multiple times. She has her cake and eating it right now. - Update in 2020. We recently found out that SHE IS INDEED MARRIED to Fiori in Nov 2019.
