No judgments, just an honest question: can happiness outrun karma?

His wife left with their two boys, the youngest being only 3 months old. She made him choose and he chose. Happiness won. It won over family.

Now he walks the beach with the woman he's been passionately in love with for the past 6 months. And you can tell from the smile on his face that he lives with his choice with no regret, no guilt, no remorse.

I would like to believe (maybe because I need to. hah.), that if or when karma catches up, the 6 months (or whenever) would've already been worth it.

Although I'd really like to believe in some sort of universal justice, sometimes karma never catches up. Apparently there are people who get away with everything because they're unapologetic.

I have no idea what this thread is all about. All I know is, kung carry mo, carry mo.

Happiness and suffering is a result of karma.

This man's karma depends on what his motivation was for leaving his family. If the intention was selfish then it will be negative. If it was for unselfish reasons then it will be positive.

You will eventually reap what you sow.

Karma doesn't exist to most religions (e.g. Christianity, Islam, etc), so my question is...

What ever happened to doing the right thing because it's the right thing to do? And vice versa, not doing the wrong thing because it's wrong?

I met him and he's a nice guy. I say, go for it. Live and let frakking live.

Karma shawarma...sige, physics na lang. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Does this apply? Anyhoo, Leoy, frakking: too much Battlestar Galactica!
