What's Karma all about?

I am a firm believer in karma. It's everywhere… that much is obvious (to me at least). But my question is… what the hell is up with mine??

I was the lucky witness to a very fitting "what goes around comes around" in about April. Someone who (refer back to the totally crazy posts I have written in the past – when the happy pills were letting me down… that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!) hurt me last year, got it back threefold. Yes, that's right, threefold! The first time I heard I found it extremely satisfactory! The third time I heard of the same thing happening to this person (who seems to be a sucker for punishment) I was a bit bored.

But it all got me thinking that perhaps my karma was turning around and that I had a clean record again after the hurt I had caused over the years (though I wasn't fully aware of it at the time, or didn’t want to be). Alas, it seems this is not so! Maybe good karma has passed me by or has just given up on me?

Someone I know who I have recently discovered has been lying and been doing all sorts of bad things has met someone great and is super happy. So where is karma here? Don’t you have to do good and be a good person to get it back? Kind of like a reward scheme… I am very confused! I like to think I do good and have calmed down a whole lot and mended my bad ways. So? Where is it? Huh? Huh?

Maybe if I donated a kidney…?
