How satisfying is it to see that eventually everything falls into place? Very much, indeed.

Human relationships are tricky, and they often come with a handful of surprises. Some idealistic people go through life expecting the best from others, giving everyone the benefit of the doubt, and being a ray of sunshine. Sadly, other people are not as good-natured and like to take advantage of that apparent naivete.

The thing is, those apparently naive people know that the universe has its own sense of humor and quite a strong sense of justice. So when someone acts unfairly, they will most likely have to bear the consequences of their actions. Our grandmas' sayings of "what goes around comes around" and "you reap what you sow" start making sense pretty quickly.

Sometimes it looks like bad people can get away with anything, and that if anyone else tries to stand up to them, it won't do any good. This doesn't mean we let bad people do anything, no way. It does mean that we need to be smarter than them and act accordingly. Most of the time, if we are facing someone higher on the food chain, we can't openly antagonize them, so we have to let them believe we don't notice. If they are being unfair, treacherous, or cheating, it will eventually catch up to them, because everything we do has consequences. Being a bad person means that sooner or later, bad actions will come back to bite you.

So, for the rest of us, it is quite the satisfying spectacle to see bad people finally fall to their disgrace after being mean and doing wrong to however many people. Like Queen Taylor Swift said, "Karma's a relaxing thought, aren't you envious that for you it's not?"

Yes, relaxing indeed. We just have to sit back and see the bad people's world burn. And while that happens, this collection of memes will put you in the perfect mood to wait for the justice of the universe, because "karma is the breeze in my hair on the weekend."
