I find myself stuck smack in the middle of one of the worst ruts of my life. It’s just freaking boring. What the heck do I do that’s interesting? I get up in the morning, go to my crappy job where I get paid much less than I deserve, come home to an empty apartment, eat dinner alone, and proceed to watch whatever happens to be on TV that night. That’s pretty much my week. I can only hope something better is on its way. This sucks.
Which brings me to the issue of Karma. No, my name isn’t Earl, but I am a believer in Karma. The only problem is that Karma seems to be non-existent in my life. No matter how many good things I do (or bad things I don’t do) Karma seems to have nothing good for me in return. But it seems if I even think about doing anything slightly negative, (this could be something as small as forgetting to hold a door for someone) BOOM! I trip down the stairs. What does a guy have to do to catch a break? Maybe I just really do have the absolute worst luck in the world. Everything seems to bring me back to that conclusion.
So at this point I’m not really sure what to do. Should I accept the fact that I just have really bad luck? I’m not going to turn into a huge jerk and start treating people like crap like many have done to me, but it would be nice to have something good happen for a change considering I’m a fairly nice guy who is just always at the short end of the stick.
I could go on and on, but it’s getting late, and I have a rut to get back into tomorrow.

Hey loser, get over yourself. You have a job that lets you support yourself. You have the ability (but apparently not the desire) to go out and do something pretty much any time you want. Call a friend, go to a bar, go to the library, call a stranger… Just do something other than sitting around feeling sorry for yourself!
Karma has nothing to do with your life, it’s you. Get off the couch and take on the day.

The definition of insanity is doing the same things over and over and expecting different results…Sound familiar Ken?
And from how I see it, you have a job, good friends around you, your own place, freedom and independence, all at the tender age of 24. As my grandpa would say, “Stop whining with a loaf of bread under each arm.”

You people are always raining on my non-parades. Screw you guys. I’ma goin home.

One of my biggest pet-peeves is when someone says, “The definition of insanity is doing the same things over and over and expecting different results.”
While this could be considered a SIGN of insanity, it is certainly not the DEFINITION of insanity.
It is like saying the definition of FOOD is PORK CHOP.

All of a sudden I realize how trivial all this shit is on here…Karma doesn’t exist.
When a wonderful, kind soul dies in a plane crash at the age of 28, or when a 15-month old baby girl dies suddenly, you realize karma doesn’t exist. Because these two people whom I know (knew) were not deserving of their fate.
Good things happen to shitty people and shitty things happen to good people. Fuck karma.

Believing in karma is inherently schizophrenic.
Why?
Look it up. It’ll give you something to do, you whiner
Aw no, I can’t resist. Dharma (what you are actually referring to) is a system in which actions are weighed by an immeasurable force, which, thus far, has not been actually validated, and is, inherently, magical (in the psychological interpretation of the word).
As such, your whine about a system for which a definite proof is lacking can be called magical thinking.
Magical thoughts are a definite aspect of schizoid personality disorders.
Joy.
An aspect of schizophrenia is the recurrence of psychosis (minor or major bouts). This can be noticeable as a tendency to feel irrationally strong reactive emotions to relatively minor stimuli.
Also, people with these kinds of mental disorders tend to avoid situations where they are stimulated directly, preferring to keep themselves isolated, in situations they can control.
Something that could give you a hint about whether you need help is that social situations are very taxing for you. A disaffectation to people who should be close to you could be another symptom.
So much for the good news.
There is no cure.
It can only get worse.
With help (in the form of therapy and medication) you may be able to build a persona which will allow you to start to function as an acceptable human being, to yourself and the people in your environment.
