We all have heard the term, “Karma is a bitch,” but who is she really being a bitch to?  Sometimes I feel like the person who is trying to do good deeds is the one that ends up getting screwed over, while the one who is selfish and ruthless triumphs.  Is this the case?  Perhaps I am wrong and the selfish, ruthless person ends up alone and miserable.  Who knows?  Either way, I have been having some struggles lately about how “good” of a person I want to be.  If this world was an ideal place, there would be no question.  I would just be good all of the time.  Unfortunately, this world is not so ideal.  There are people out there who are willing to trample all over others.  Therefore does it benefit me to be not so good in order to protect myself or to teach others a lesson?  I still don’t have it all quite figured out yet, but I think I am slowly starting to piece it together.   As I grow, I am learning how to protect myself while still being honest and fair.  I think the key is to not only be honest with others around me, but also honest with myself.   In the end, if I just worry about being the best person I can be without getting trampled on, then Karma will do her job and be the bitch she is supposed to be to the people she is supposed to be bitchy to.  Here’s to hoping.
