Good Things

Posted by Sarah at 5:01 PM on July 18, 2006.

Okay, slacker number 2 here writing her long awaited blog entry. I felt like putting in a feel good kinda blog for all those (including myself) who may need a pick-me-up from time to time. And, by pick-me-up I don’t mean alcoholic beverage.

Above all, I truly believe and always have believed that good things happen to good people. This is my motto and it permeates every aspect of my life. I guess, in a way, it’s a very karmic thing to say. But I am a big believer of karma myself, so I guess it really makes sense for me (inherent religious beliefs aside).

Sometimes, it’s very difficult to believe my motto, especially during those times when it appears that the motto itself is working against you (aka when good or even great things happen to not-so-good people). Sometimes I question the motto and even yell at it in disgust. But then it takes someone to point out to you the good things happening right in front of you that you are so obviously taking for granted. Also, the fact you might risk losing these good things if you always focus on the negative. And, while it appears that good things are happening to the wrong people and bad things are happening to you - that is in fact false. Enter the second most important motto, "everything happens for a reason" typically always helps to explain the former. So I guess the moral of this blog is to be a good person, wait for what the universe brings, stay positive above everything else and know that those undeserving individuals will soon meet their own. I hope I haven’t been too confusing (and sorry Paulie, muddleness is all you get today).

I know exactly what you mean Sarah! Lately, I've been feeling much the same way ... witnessing people behave in the most disgusting and selfish ways and seeing them rewarded for it. It's very frustrating! Especially when you do your best to live your life well and with respect for everyone around you. But, I fully believe in your motto. Although, I have realized that the motto does say ... "Good things happen to good people." It does not say "Bad things happen to bad people." I think for "bad" people to learn a lesson ... the universe has to allow good things to happen to them so that when they fall from grace they truly know what they have lost and the consequences of their actions.
