I’ll never understand why bad things have to happen to good people. But on the flip-side, I like to think that karma will eventually catch up with those who deserve it — the murderers, abusers, tyrants, and yes, even the vampires (if they do exist) — who are completely without conscience and live only for their own twisted pleasures.

I included vampires here because of a quote from Anne Rice, the late American author best known for her Vampire Chronicles, in which Lestat, reflecting on his own ill-conceived life choices, addresses himself:

“Oh Lestat, you deserved everything that’s ever happened to you. You better not die. You might actually go to hell.”

– Anne Rice, “The Vampire Lestat (The Vampire Chronicles, #2)”

I could name any number of people living today who might give that thought some serious consideration. But you already know who they are, don’t you?

Just sayin’ . . .
