Karma Does Not Exist
A lot of people believe that karma is a real, active force of nature. For example, say that you plan to cheat on a test and tell your friends about it. They might say "don't do that, karma will bite you in the butt." However, I do not agree with them. I believe that karma does not exist because a lot of horrendous things happen to people who have lived a good life. Also, if karma were real, people would be affected that did not do anything bad.
One of the reasons I do not believe in karma is because even though people are relatively good compared to humanity, terrible things happen to them. My parents have been friends with a couple, Scott and Debbi, for more than 20 years. Scott and Debbi had three kids. Currently one is out of college, one …show more content…
In fact, our families are so close I call them my uncle and aunt. A few years ago Debbi was diagnosed with breast cancer. She underwent the treatment, and was declared cancer free. After a few years everything seemed fine, but then she started having trouble breathing and pain in her head. She went to her oncologist, and they confirmed she had cancer again. I remember when my parents found out, me, my mom, and my brother were eating dinner. The room was dead silent, and we all ate without saying a word, which never happens. It turned out she had a 9 centimeter tumor in her lung and a smaller tumor in her brain. The tests to see exactly what kind of cancer it was took a couple of days. The doctors were thinking it was probably just a common lung cancer that had metastasized, but there was a small chance that it could be a rarer, harder to treat cancer called neuroendocrine cancer. This means that the cancer started in her endocrine system which regulates hormones, and metastasized to her lungs and brain. The test results came back, and she had neuroendocrine cancer. She immediately started radiation and then chemotherapy. The radiation took a big toll on her body and she had to be hospitalized several times for malnutrition as well as pain. A few weeks
