This week, the she-devil incarnate opened up her new bakery in downtown Phoenix. I can just picture the numbers of people flocking there to support her and her expanded business.
And I can't help but feel bitter. Maybe if I felt like I had more going for me it wouldn't even be on my top 100 things to cross my mind.
But as it is, I just think of the misery she created for her employees, including myself. And then I think, how can someone that's just so downright terrible have such great success? Where is the comeuppance? In many ways, she's a great example of the ass holes out there that do even more damage because they have more power or more money, because maybe they decided to be an investment banker instead of a chef. It's within that context that I can understand the evil in the world.
And as we saw with many of the tyrants that destroyed the world economy, with great power comes equally powerful friends that will get you off and you'll never have to "pay" for your deeds. At least not in this existence.
And then, there's the karma that I have to believe in. No, she might live out the rest of her life believing herself to be god's gift to mankind and never ever being aware of the tears and fear and anxiety she caused. But hopefully, in her next life, or in the next existence, she'll be painfully aware. I don't mean to imply that I hope she suffers, because I don't want to believe that anyone suffers either. But I hope she eventually knows the hurt she inflicted, and that she will eventually feel remorse.
Because in turn, I also want to believe that people who are good and giving will be equally "rewarded."
