@@charleneblack2792 The Bible does say we reap what we sow.

[@desertrose0601]

@@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.

I see ur point...but Karma is an Indian philosophy stemming back to the theory of rebirth,ie, if u did good deeds in ur past life, ull be born again in a better life...now the term has undergone westernisation and has resulted in an almost Newtons third law-every action has an equal and opposite reaction...but truth is life is not like that...there are plenty of bad people living peaceful lives,while many good people struggle to find ends meet...hence the term becomes a mockery of the society in reality...good deeds should not be done while expecting good to happen to you...TS doesnt actually have a good karma, owing to her mean streak...whatever success she has now is ofc a lot due to her hardwork,marketing etc but it is definitely NOT becos shes a good person with a great karma...😅People saying otherwise prove to be immature and naive😊

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.

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.

The problem with the idea of karma is that everyone has a different idea of what “good” or “bad” is. Taylor Swift would probably think I am a “bad” person because I don’t support homosexuality and abortion, but I think she is bad because she does…

[@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.

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. Thank you for continuing to stand up for the truth and freedom of speech.

[@BaroqueBach.]

Why I am a classical musician in a nutshell:

[@noapologizes2018]

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.

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.

[@Devin7Eleven]

.. or in the modern sense it just means “do unto others what you would like have done to you”. Karma isn’t some exclusive virtue to Hinduism. Every society has acknowledged its existence one way or another

[@realgraceking]

[@gloomygguk528]

i think youre getting this wrong, the word karma itself arises mainly from buddhism and sanskrit and everyone in this comment section is literally fighting over how this is about devil worship and evil rituals but its not. karma is a force that exists universally, both good and bad, karma as (most westerners believe) is not only about the fact that being a bad person makes you bad, but a mix of both. you do a good thing, it returns back to you in a way or sort that helps you, if you do a bad thing, then it also comes round back to you in a form. its not about which one outweighs which one but both no matter how small a deed bad or good youve committed will come back to you. here in taylors song karma, she doesnt necessarily say she has done only good things, ONLY that she even implies by the lines 'i keep my side of the street clean' she used be around people who made her do bad things and has accumulated bad karma, and perhaps it may come back to her, but in the present, in the now, she has learned how to overcome that, and she most does good merits, thus listing how her hard work and her giving nature has returned back to her in the various fruitful forms, a boyfriend, cat, the breeze in the hair on the weekends. its wonderfuk because this shows that she is thankful for the simplest things in life, and no matter how big a good merit you have committed, being thankful that the good karma has returned back you in the simplest form is such a good achievement. idk what steroids the comments section is taking, but metaphor does take a big role in the song. putting on the devil mask doesmt mean shes one you clowns, shes saying she was thrown into the pit as an evil, in the 2014 and 2015's everyone predicted taylors downfalls and called her a snake, imagine that, the whole of the internet against you. and in those times she had said nothing back to them. see the concept of karma playing into this? now that she has known about karma, she realizes how good karma she had accumulated by not doing anything bad against all those people, who those people inturn had accumulated bad karma themselves by degrading a person, shes simply reminding them of their actions, even more so how they could also learn about doing more good than bad. yall half assing the replies even with the internet omg i swear to god
