Karma

I can understand your being upset. Karma takes its own sweet time and swoops in when it sees fit, not when we want it to. By the sounds of this person perhaps she was not completely telling you the entire truth? It is possible that she is lying about her salary and anything else she has told you about her life. It is also possible that she has left out several things that has happened that are bad (possible that Karma has already given her that kick in the pants but she does not want to share). My "best friend" from high school was also like this and really I look back now and see how even though what she did hurt and I would never trust her around any man of mine again, it also opened my eyes to the person I was with. Better off without both of them. Hard to handle then but as the years have gone by, I see how much better it all worked out. From my personal experience with Karma, it does come back around. I had an employer do me very very wrong back in 2007. There was a write up in the local paper on Friday about how this person, is down to only 3 employees and they walked out because he owes them $. The state tax office and the state employment security commission has also levvied him for back taxes, fees and fines..... It all came back to him! In a way I am satisified that he is getting what he deserves but to be honest, I would much rather still have the same job. He had the same problems with the taxes and ESC back when I was working with him (due to his ex-wife ripping off the company) and we were working with an attorney to get it fixed.

How long has it since you were able to talk to her again? I am sure that she also had to struggle during those times especially that she already had a baby at such a young age. If she is earning a lot more than you are, probably she has really mad great efforts to be where she is now.

There are many times in our lives that it may always seem like life is not fair especially when situations and things like this happen, and often makes us wonder about other things as well. I know it may not always seem fair, but deep down inside how do you know she is really Happy? I often think that many times it may not always be right away for things to beset someone. They often have to just have something happen even if it is many yrs down the road to make them think "Is this because of what I did to so and so?" Face it things do come back around in time, and many times when you least expect it. So just continue to live and enjoy your life, and quit worrying about them.

I understand your feelings and I do not consider you horrible or mean. Such happenings in friendship are not rare. Many people have had such experiences. Often it happens that our ‘best friends’ are actually our ‘worst enemies’. Experiences such as these,if kept in the mind, will hurt the individual. Therefore, one needs to unburden oneself by talking about it to others. It is good that you have spoken about it here. Now you ought to feel light.
