Hi everyone,

I've been a frequent visitor to this website for some time now and would like to open my IQ account with a question I've been pondering for some time now.

Without going into too much detail, there are a couple of people I know that have basically spent their whole lives destroying others. They do this by turning people against one another, spreading malicious rumours, manipulating people into doing their dirty work and have been known to steal from people as well. For some reason though, they always get away with it. They have never had to face any consequences for their actions. On top of that, it's like everyone else is blind to what kind of people they truly are. If you were to ask most people what they thought of them, you would only get positive, glowing feedback. There is only myself and my friend that knows what they are really like and to be honest, we've had enough of their behaviour. It's just as bad today as it was 15 years ago when we first knew them.

To cut a long story short, we used to be "friends" with these people. I use inverted commas because we thought they were our friends. In fact, they have no friends in the normal sense. They have many people around them that think they are their friends but if they knew what they did behind their backs they would be shocked. Examples include laughing and joking about someone's father who had cancer, doing impressions of someone crying after his grandad died and making fun of someones disabled relative. Yet if you see them with these people, they come across as supportive, empathetic guys.

If i'm honest, I knew what kind of people they were from the start but I was young then and knew that cutting myself off from them would be a bad idea, as they would use their influence to turn everyone against me, which was a big fear of mine at the time. Eventually though, I had enough and distanced myself from them, as did my friend.

This was over 5 years ago and because we all still live in the same town, we still (whether we want to or not) get updated on what they are up to these days. Despite their continued nasty ways, life just seems to be getting better for them. They are still behaving the same as they have always done, still mentally destroying people, but the universe seems to be rewarding them for their actions. They have somehow managed to buy huge houses in the poshest part of town, money seems to flow to them abundantly and they still seem to be as popular as ever.

Now, this is why I don't believe in karma because if it worked the way people say it does, these two wouldn't be living these extravagant lifestyles. My theory is that if you do something bad and feel bad about it, negative things will happen to you. If you do something bad and feel good about it, positive things will happen to you. Looking back, they definitely used to feel good about doing horrible things to people. Whether it was making up a reputation destroying rumour about someone and finding out it had spread or scamming someone out of their possessions, there was a definite gleam of joy in their eyes. This is why I believe they have not only got away with it for so long, but why they keep coming up trumps.

I've read about parallel universes and my understanding is that every version of every reality already exists and it is possible for us to shift into any one we choose. If this is correct, then there is a universe out there in which their luck has run out and everyone now sees them for what they are. Therefore, it is not me personally who has created it, I am just choosing to see the version I prefer.

To anyone reading this, it might appear that I am jealous of them. Believe me, i'm not. This isn't revenge, this is justice. I'm not talking about them getting a life threatening illness or being made homeless, I just want them to have a taste of their own medicine. Who knows, maybe once they've felt the pain they've put so many through it might change them for the better.
