Daphne! 🌷🌷🌷
daphne; do you believe in karma?
Karma as in “hindu complex belief concerning the afterlife and reincarnation” then no, it is simply not my tradition.
However, “karma” as a broader concept of divine retribution, then I’d have to say yes. Here are 2 chosen extracts from Hesiod concerning Zeus and his daughter Dike:
"There is Virgin Dike (Justice), the daughter of Zeus, who is honoured and reverenced among the gods who dwell on Olympos, and whenever anyone hurts her with lying slander, she sits beside her father, Zeus the son of Kronos (Cronus), and tells him of men's wicked heart, until the people pay for the mad folly of their princes who, evilly minded, pervert judgement and give sentence crookedly."
"For whoever knows the right and is ready to speak it, far-seeing Zeus gives him prosperity; but whoever deliberately lies in his witness and forswears himself, and so hurts Dike (Justice) and sins beyond repair, that man's generation is left obscure thereafter. But the generation of the man who swears truly is better thenceforward."
Don’t mess with her.
Thank you!
