I just realized the idea that bad things happen to bad people is somehow ingrained in me. When something terrible happens, I say, "God, what did I do to deserve this?" Micheal has opened my eyes. I'm not religious at all, but I take my kids to church, believing it will help them in life.

@@charleneblack2792 I do think consequences are different than karma. Driving drunk will often have a terrible outcome, for example. But that’s different from the idea of karma which says that you’d get punished like years later because you drove drunk years before. I don’t believe in that. Bad stuff happens and sometimes we’ve directly caused it but other times it just happens. There’s not a cosmic karma scale though. Bad things are a result of living in a fallen world, not necessarily a result of something you did wrong earlier in your life.

She could never catch a break. Then she was hospitalized and got cancer. And lost her ability to walk. And had to have a tube stuck in her throat. And then she suddenly went into septic shock and died at only 50. Yeah, if Karma was real, she would be alive and well. Meanwhile a ton of terrible people I know are alive and doing just fine. It’s important to be a good person. But that does not keep bad things from happening to you

Now as a man is like this or like that, according as he acts and according as he behaves, so will he be; a man of good acts will become good, a man of bad acts, bad; he becomes pure by pure deeds, bad by bad deeds.

What you feed your soul is important, and you taint your faith and hinder your connection with God, when you allow for these kinds of influences to be in your life. Luke warm believers, dance with the devil everyday and if not aware of the deception, fall from God. Be careful. I pray for anyone who may not see the reality nor take it serious, because it’s a scary cell to keep yourself in. I say this with love, God bless you.

Michael Knowles, consider the target audience. Superficial, short memories, in the moment living, the worship of beauty and the power popularity brings with it. Ask Madonna hows that working for her. She was for a few decades the "Material" girl. Madonna sat high on the same throne that Taylor Swift is sitting on now. However, time catches up with everyone. Madonna's music is rarely played except on oldies radio channels. Taylor Swift still has many years to go, but she too will be forgotten along with her music. And as for the meaning of her music, her fans don't care.

[@aubreezily13]

Everyone is entitled to their opinions, but to generalize all of her fans is not something that makes for a good argument. A lot of her songs are thoughtfully written. There is even a song about her grandfather who fought in World War II. It is called Epiphany if you are interested in giving it a listen. I personally care a lot about the meaning of what I listen to, which is why I am not the biggest fan of this song.

[@thatcheesysongwriter]

i'm one of the biggest swifties you'll ever meet. i LOVE her music and i love her and i think she's so smart and talented and truly the best songwriter of this generation. that being said, it makes me sad to see how far she's come in this area of her life. she's stated in the past that she's a Christian, but her actions say the opposite. at the very least, i think she's fallen far from true Christian values and it'll take a massive Paul moment for her to come back to Jesus. this song is a bop, but i'm always thinking in the back of my mind "this song isn't morally good and it's a testament to Taylor's righteousness." :(

As a former swiftie, I didn’t want to see the signs. But think about the things and themes you’re singing in her songs. Saying karma is a god, like Jesus, is such blasphemy and really just sickens me. I would listen to midnights and just skip this song because I was like “it’s just a song” but no, you’re really just signing word curses over yourself and music can have such a hold. Her songs sing of unforgiveness, adultery, sexual immorality, revenge, blasphemy, etc. Read James 3. There is power in the tongue, to speak life and death. Is what you’re singing honoring and glorifying God? Think about it. And remember, this is coming from a former swiftie too. I ADORED her and her music. But now, I can’t stand it. Just sharing my perspective and conviction on this topic and I pray God opens your heart to His Will and His Light and His Truth on things like that. I love you friend, God bless you and keep you. Amen.

[@dharshanak4118]

i live in a traditionally Buddhist country and it's interesting to contrast how the term karma has traditionally been used here. it's actually not used to indicate that you are a bad person if bad things happen to u. rather, it's the opposite. i think it's bcos often it is used along with the belief of reincarnation. so if something bad (or good) happens to u, it is (at least partly) bcos of 'ur' past karma. but the 'u' in the past life is not 'u' that is here. there's no permanent 'u' (that is the idea of anathma or non self). 'u' is just a continuous flux. anyway, it is sort of used as a way of alleviating guilt or remorse for facing unfortunate circumstances, as something beyond the control of a self (in fact, self too is a mind made construct), exactly opposite to how Michael describes here. Same way, if something fortunate happens to you, it's not 'u' did it but (at least partly) a result of ur past karma, so the idea is to be humble about it. what i want to stress is, it is used not to highlight or bolster the self or the ego, but to dilute the notion of self. anyway, I think when these ideas cross cultures and is absorbed by the west, may be their meanings get warped.

I find it comical how intensely you’re looking into this. Taylor got screwed out of getting her masters hence the re-recording process she’s doing. She also has been done wrong by past boyfriends and friends. She’s just saying I’ve been done wrong by these people but I’ve got a great boyfriend (at the time), I’ve got awesome cats, and the breeze in my hair makes me happy. It’s just the thought of I’ve been through some crappy stuff in life but it’s better now and for those people that screwed me they seem to be getting theirs now. Also, the beginning when she’s dressed in the devil outfit the lyric says “you’re terrified to look down”. The scene is just a play on those words. Do you seriously only listen to Christian music bc tons of genres of music have references that aren’t necessarily Christian

Karma is a concept of Hinduism which describes a system in which beneficial effects are derived from past beneficial beauty and harmful effects from past harmful actions, creating a system of actions and reactions throughout a soul's (jivatman's) reincarnated lives,[1] forming a cycle of rebirth. The causality is said to apply not only to the material world but also to our thoughts, words, actions, and actions that others do under our instructions.

It's funny how popular music that has been picked out for the majority of people to listen to on the radio is kind of disguised as something positive, whilst darkness lurks underneath. I grew up catholic, became an atheist for years, then became agnostic and since this year I've turned to the bible once more. It's definitely a process, however, I haven't felt this light in years. Mr. Knowles and other great figures, such as Jordan Peterson and Tim Ballard, have inspired and awoken what I believe to be the voice of God in me. That being said, I am also a metal head, which is ironically perceived to be "satanic", but one of my favorite bands, Alter Bridge, has a great song called: Words Darker than their Wings, which describes the theological debates the two front men, Myles Kennedy and Mark Tremonti had regarding religion. Myles being agnostic and Mark being a devout Christian. It's a beautiful song and the lyrics are so captivating, it perfectly describes the inner turmoil surrounding belief and moving toward a spiritual way of life. I wish that these forms of music and art received more attention, instead of this simple "garbage". I'd love to see you react to it.

I thought, girlfriend done drank the Kool-Aid. Karma doesn't really work and the reason I know this is because some really awful, terrible, horrible things have happened to really good people that I know. They didn't hate anyone or talk smack. They were good Christian people who made it a point to do good in the world like feed the hungry, care for the sick and the elderly. And what happened? Their child died very suddenly and tragically. They got fired and lost their house. You name something bad and it happened to them. I've also seen truly evil people succeed, make tons of cash and dump all over everyone. I've seen them treat their fans like crap--even berating them in public. So no, Karma is not a thing and neither is Taylor Swift.
