“Don’t waste your time on revenge.
Those who hurt you
will eventually face their own karma.”
-Buddha

When someone has hurt you, betrayed you or done you wrong, revenge can be seductive.
I have never been in favour of revenge. I believe it would just lead to an endless cycle of further suffering, bitterness and future painful karma.
I prefer “living well as the best revenge” philosophy.
I have been reflecting on revenge because of recent events.
What I wonder is why aren’t those individuals that hurt us, betray us and do us wrong afraid of the karma police?

KARMA POLICE LYRICS
Karma police, arrest this man
He talks in maths, he buzzes like a fridge
He’s like a detuned radio
Karma police, arrest this girl
Her Hitler hairdo is making me feel ill
And we have crashed her party[Chorus]
This is what you’ll get
This is what you’ll get
This is what you’ll get
When you mess with us
[Chorus]
This is what you’ll get
This is what you’ll get
This is what you’ll get
When you mess with us

“Thom Yorke {singer in Radiohead}: Karma is important. The idea that something like karma exists makes me happy. It makes me smile. Karma Police is dedicated to everyone who works for a big firm. It’s a song against bosses.”
“Ed O’Brien: When someone in the band behaved like an a–hole, one of the others always said: ‘The Karma Police is gonna get you.’ I suppose it’s all rubbish that your destiny depends on your deeds in a previous life, but you have to trust on something.”
“It was a band catch phrase for a while on tour – whenever someone was behaving in a particular s—ty way, we’d say, ‘The karma police will catch up with him sooner or later’,” guitarist Jonny Greenwood told Melody Maker. “You have to rely on something like that, even though we’re probably just kidding ourselves. But it’s not a revenge thing, just about being happy with your own behaviour.”
