You know…

I’ve heard so much spoken about “what goes around, comes around,” (karma) and “nice guys always finish first.”  In the church and in the realm of faith, prayer is key: prayer for someone who is challenging you, prayer for triumphs, prayer for trials.  I think these are all great things to consider when facing hardships.  I believe I’m an incredibly nice person… I think I’m even too nice.  And if nice people like me are taught all these things all our lives, does it give us any sort of advantage when it comes to people who AREN’T taught this?  These are the people who live their lives stomping all over people like me.  So whereas I’m praying for these people and believing that one day they’ll come face to face with a self-realization, these people are living their lives totally squashing people like me — and not even caring.

Do nice people really finish first?
