Karma Works

While at my sister-in-law's wake, I got to talk with the mother of my best friend, who was slain while inside a cargo ship years ago. This was a continuation of my other blog last  July 4 entitled: Old Songs Remind Us of Past Events.

It was good she was there, to fill in the missing data in my blog. It was a clear story of karma.

She said my friend will soon be installed as the captain of the cargo ship that was then sailing in Norway. But he was found dead inside his cabin with stab wound. The suspect was a Filipino who got jealous for the position given to my best friend.

The suspect allegedly was about to dump the body of my best friend into the sea, but some nuns discovered the plan, so the suspect got caught and penalized for his crime. It was unclear how the nuns got into the ship. The nuns were the ones who communicated with my best friend's wife about the incident. They helped repatriate the body (cadaver).

It reminded me that my best friend served as altar helper, or a priest's assistant during Mass. It could be the first work of good karma for him. He was religious and served the church, so the nuns, gave back to him his good deeds as church helper.

The suspect served his sentence in a jail in Norway for several years. The suspect returned to his province in Northern Luzon, Philippines. It was reported that while in a drinking spree, he was stabbed by one of his drinking buddies. That was the second case of the workings of karma for my best friend.

What do you think?
