Karma does not forgive anyone - What goes around comes around Jordan Peterson Speech

why doesn't anyone ever get away with anything that's one of your lines well i think imagine you have a plastic ruler you know and you pull it back in front of your face and you let go it's like you think well this is going pretty well so far snap yeah well it's because you can't you can't bend the structure of reality and this is i think also partly what in this message is frightening everything that you distort snaps back and often magnified and everyone knows that and one of the things i discussed with my audience is like well just think about how you talk to people that you're trying to be trying to treat properly you don't say to them okay here kid here's the way you deal with life this is you put your son in your knees say look lie every chance you get falsify things don't take any responsibility for anything if you can slough it off to someone else if you can hide things where no one will find them that's a hell of a good strategy like no one believes that ever so we know that that doesn't work now we're tempted because now and then you think well i can just cut a corner here or i can get away with this and no one will find out it's like yeah they will they'll find out or you'll find out and i saw this in my clinical practice all the time you know people would be suffering for some consequence a lot and we'd untangle it maybe we'd go back five years or ten years and it would be something that was left undone something that was done that shouldn't have been done and sometimes not even on the part of the person you know sometimes on the part of their parents or maybe even on the part of their grandparents like these things stick around for a very long period of time but it's like if you if you produce a rift in the structure of reality it's not going to go away until you rectify it and often it breeds more demons that's for sure i think that people only don't believe that when they're being hubristic and i think that most people know that deep in their hearts you know when you get high on your horse that happens fairly often if you have any sense you think geez i better be careful and tap myself down a fair bit because if i get too puffed up man something's going to come along and take me out at the knees and everyone knows that pride comes before a fall and that's why it says in the old testament that fear of god is the beginning of wisdom i've never in all my years as a clinical psychologist and this is something that really does terrify me i as i have never seen anyone ever get away with anything at all even once you know there's that old idea that god has a book you know and keeps track of everything in heaven it's like okay okay you know maybe it's not a book fine but that is a really useful thing to think about because well maybe you disagree maybe you think people get away with things all the time i tell you i've never seen it what i see instead is that thing happens right someone twists the fabric of reality and they do it successfully because it doesn't snap back at them that moment and then like two years later something unravels and they get walloped and they think oh my god that's so unfair and then we track it it's like but what happened before that this well then what this and then what this and then what oh oh this well that's where it went wrong it's yeah because you can't twist the fabric of reality without having it snap back it doesn't work that way and why would it because what are you gonna do twist the fabric of reality i don't think so i think it's bigger than you you know and i think that one of the things that really tempts people is the idea that well i can get away with it it's like yeah you try you see how well that works it's like you get away with nothing and that is the beginning of wisdom and it's something that deeply terrifies me and we walk on a very thin and narrow edge and we're very lucky when things aren't degenerating into chaos around us or rapidly moving to far too much order and it's not an easy thing to stay on that line and you can tell when you stay you're on that line because the things are deeply meaningful and engaging when you're on that line but if you're not existentially terrified about the consequences of wavering off that then you are truly not awake stay awake speak properly be honest or watch the hell out because things will come your way that you just do not want to see at all and it might not just be you it might be everyone you know and everything about your culture that is demolished for for generation after generation it's like stay awake and be careful you
