00:00:00.160 What up guys, welcome to my coffee talks. Today I have a Fairlife protein shake because I'm trying
00:00:08.060 to get 150 grams of protein. These things are actually really good, so if anyone cares. I've
00:00:13.400 done a lot of protein drinks. These are the best ones, like by far. Anyways, I usually do them at
00:00:22.720 the end of the day if I'm just like a little short, like 20 grams. It's like cool. All right,
00:00:27.400 so today i want to talk about if i think karma is real because i kind of go back and forth with it
00:00:34.040 right because i have seen people do like messed up things right like in particular when you're a
00:00:40.840 woman um for example i know a woman that cheated on her boyfriend a ton when we were in school
00:00:47.480 and they're still together to this day right they're still together still kicking it and you
00:00:52.920 think well she cheated a bunch and there's no consequence um another example i think of is
00:00:58.100 larry uh some big bodybuilder right um there was some woman that was beautiful and was his wife and
00:01:04.740 he gave her a bunch of money all this stuff and then decided now to divorce him and start an only
00:01:09.600 fans and like on paper um like why be good when you treat bad women like that like what is what
00:01:16.840 is the incentive here right it's frustrating and I think in life um that's kind of a lot of it it's
00:01:28.460 like watching people that do like really lazy get promoted and etc etc and there's two schools of
00:01:35.720 thought I'm kind of playing with and I'm really curious because a lot of you guys are older than
00:01:41.180 me and have more life experience so I'm curious your thoughts and if you've seen the same it seems
00:01:46.340 like um people can fool people for like a two-year period maybe up to three or four if they're really
00:01:52.460 good but it seems like when people have bad habits they at some point will catch up to them like for
00:02:00.620 example I talk a lot about my food addiction and I've had a food addiction for as long as I can
00:02:05.680 remember like I remember eating cookies when I was like 13 or 14 um and I just couldn't like I just
00:02:15.920 was always really bad I always had a really big hunger but I was never that fat because I played
00:02:21.680 sports so I would burn like a bajillion calories a day so I never addressed the problem and I would
00:02:25.700 just kick it down the road and actually I think part of me rejoining sports in my mid-20s like
00:02:31.320 competitive sports was because I just couldn't overcome this food addiction I was getting fat
00:02:36.380 again I'm like I can't get fat I'll just join another I'll spend another two years of my life
00:02:40.560 And I've spent so much time in the gym and it wasn't until recently, um, where I just
00:02:45.960 said running marathons is too exhausting.
00:02:49.460 Spending a million hours like in the gym a day is too exhausting.
00:02:53.380 I need to fix this problem and I need to like do it right.
00:02:56.920 I need to get my protein or I need to just solve this problem.
00:03:01.200 I'm not saying that I have it solved.
00:03:02.980 I don't.
00:03:03.700 Um, I think for me, this is just, you know, everyone's got stuff they're weak to.
00:03:08.160 And for me, it's just always been food.
00:03:09.840 i think it's partially why i'm so into sports it's because i just gluttony or whatever that
00:03:14.640 sin is is something that calls me you know what i mean it's something that
00:03:23.360 so now someone could look at me when i was younger um i was i don't know i think i was
00:03:28.960 like 155 pounds um 150 pounds six feet in high school and i was really thin because i played
00:03:34.160 all these sports and they could look at me and say it's not fair she just eats whatever she wants
00:03:38.320 and it looked like then I was getting away with it but now it's a decade later and it's still an
00:03:43.340 issue for me right um and I think that's just lying in general at some point for the most part
00:03:51.020 it does catch up to people like if a man's not honest with his wife and he's constantly simping
00:03:56.480 at some point the pain of his wife like berating him all the time is going to get to him and he's
00:04:04.500 either going to crash out or he's just going to be tortured by her forever. Um, now the one
00:04:11.460 exception, and I'm curious in my life, I really haven't seen players like publicly, um, really
00:04:20.700 have consequences that bad. Um, maybe like Weinstein, but I see it more with men that
00:04:28.720 use their money to get women charming men I see less consequences for however even with that 0.99
00:04:37.320 exception I think that's like the female brain whenever we hear a statement we just think of 1.00
00:04:41.820 the exception so women right so but it still seems like even that at some point is going to catch up 0.99
00:04:53.740 to them. Like, I don't really think you can cheat on your wife forever. Um, and especially now that 0.95
00:04:59.140 phones are everywhere without like one of the girls crashing out or it kind of coming back to 1.00
00:05:04.500 bite you in the butt. You know what I mean? Uh, your wife might forgive you, but I think the amount 1.00
00:05:09.700 of emotional turmoil, um, she could put you through may be a consequence, but I don't know.
00:05:17.080 you know i don't know um and it's the same thing with the wolf of wall street like um the wolf of
00:05:24.880 wall street guy it might look like he had no consequence when he was like making all that
00:05:29.820 money and he was like on the cover of you know the magazines or whatever um until at some point
00:05:37.320 he was caught same thing with sarah stock it may seem like no consequence when she's engaged right
00:05:43.220 cheating on her fiance with her boss and then you know she's humiliated on the internet in front of
00:05:50.180 everyone so i don't know if this makes sense and i think this is just a higher level i think that
00:05:58.460 no one can really hurt you and if you allow someone to hurt you it says more about you than
00:06:06.560 them because it means you're taking their struggle with the sin personal right um when a lot of times
00:06:14.640 it's just something like they're going through and what i've noticed is when you're really on
00:06:20.040 someone's um team right like i saw this interview of a woman whose husband ex-husband cheated on her
00:06:26.760 and the interviewer was saying like oh well your ex-husband he cheated how could you be with him
00:06:31.700 shorter and she just said so what he's a good guy yeah it was devastating but so what it's
00:06:41.220 someone's on your team when they're less judgmental it's like they accept you with your
00:06:45.220 flaws like i have a relative that i love dearly and i know he's a little bit wild like he's just 0.98
00:06:51.700 always been a wild he's always been a wild child you know and i know he can be a dick but i know
00:06:57.940 he means like i know him i love him i love him to death uh and i'm sure there's negative traits 0.82
00:07:02.660 he'd say about me but there's nothing he could really do that i would take personal like if he's
00:07:09.860 ever an ass i just never take it personal because i know that's how he is and he means what like i
00:07:15.860 know it i just and i'm on his team that makes sense are we following are we following each other 0.97
00:07:21.140 you know anyways um and I think when there's been times in my life where I have been really hurt
00:07:30.300 usually I wanted there was just a part of me that wanted to be a victim for whatever reason
00:07:38.160 I wanted to be a victim and I wanted to take somebody's behavior personal an example I'm
00:07:43.260 thinking of is I had an ex-friend um I've actually had multiple ex-friends try to air me out online
00:07:49.860 and it's a really like invasion of privacy when someone that knew you so well starts like making
00:07:57.120 video you know I've had this happen so many times right where you know people that I thought were my
00:08:03.240 friends start making videos and it's just how could I not for me my mistake was taking that
00:08:11.280 personal because you know one of the people that did that is like on SSRIs fat you know
00:08:20.100 they're just not going in a great place in life another friend like kissed guy you know so there
00:08:27.840 were times where people's decisions I took like personally when it had nothing to do with me
00:08:34.560 and in situations where I've been the villain um
00:08:38.340 and done things that i regret
00:08:44.740 you know i don't think i ever thought about the other person like it was me
00:08:51.800 being selfish and thinking about what i wanted like it had nothing
00:08:55.280 to do with them and i don't know i think there's gotta be and i'm i'm not a bible person i don't
00:09:02.360 know, but it seems like, I wonder if there's some biblical like passage that's against
00:09:13.920 painting yourself as a victim because it's so easy to, it's, it's, you know, it's really
00:09:26.080 easy to I think your mind naturally just wants to say poor me and I don't know I listen to Jesse
00:09:33.580 Lee Peterson sometimes he says that's like demons in you I don't know if it's demons
00:09:37.080 I don't like blaming it on a demon you know maybe I'm the demon you know but it's like
00:09:43.080 Like if you take something someone does to you personal, it's almost like you are just as bad
00:09:57.220 as them because you want to be a victim when their stuff has nothing to do with you.
00:10:03.740 It might be painful, but it's their problem. Like if someone's trying to rip you off,
00:10:09.440 that's their problem not yours um my friends were disloyal towards me that's really their problem
00:10:15.640 it's not it's got nothing to do with me um when you're younger especially as a young woman
00:10:19.740 so many times you hear about like women that have talked behind your back and you're you know your
00:10:25.540 initial answer is oh poor me poor me but come on let's be real it's not like we've ever not
00:10:31.260 talked behind someone's back I think everyone's done that at some point so
00:10:35.900 it's easy to judge them but I think it's easier like
00:10:43.700 it's easy to judge them but really you're just as evil if you're honest with yourself and
00:10:51.720 their sin or whatever has nothing to do with you um nobody's out to get you
00:11:01.200 their sin has to do with it's the same thing with like family court right the woman is destroying
00:11:08.460 you but it has nothing to do with you it's her I mean you might have simped right you might have 0.77
00:11:15.140 I mean that that may have happened but even if you simped right her animosity and hatred towards 0.99
00:11:22.920 you like it's not personal women hate everything we hate our kids we hate ourselves we hate each
00:11:27.940 other we hate you like it's just it's not it's nothing to do with you um and jesus you know
00:11:34.320 i'm not that religious but i think the point of like jesus dying on the cross and i i believe he
00:11:39.960 said something along the lines of father forgive them the whole point is that he forgave them
00:11:46.320 because he knew they're killing me and it has nothing to do with me i mean he's jesus christ
00:11:50.900 himself and that's the point of jesus christ himself couldn't get loyalty from people why
00:11:57.200 would you expect it? I think that, I think that should be the point of the Bible. Like the whole
00:12:02.820 Bible is Jesus Christ himself could not get loyalty from people. You're not going to get it.
00:12:11.520 So anyways, second coffee talk in the day of the day. Sometimes I'm on a roll. So I do two of these.
00:12:17.740 I love you guys. Thanks for watching. I'll see you next time.
