Karma?

Mama used to say, among other things "what goes around comes around."

Karma is a teaching by some that I do believe in. There is a Christian equal to it called "The Law of Reciprocity."

Have you considered meditation?

You are right, Karma also applies when you do good unto others.

Back when I was new in my career we had a very difficult patient that was rude, obnoxious, and inappropriate while dealing with staff. I was talking with a fellow co-worker about said patient being back with us and I said "I wish he would just die." Five minutes later: Code Blue room 1234. We looked at each other and my co-worker said that's patient X's room. He expired and some superstitious co-workers were teasing me about it for weeks. Karma, good timing, or something else?

So , tell me , fate / karma of a rotten person or just free will of someone else taking vengance?

Karma: a form of rationalization for those who feel victimized.
