Karmic Tribunal, A Political & Metaphysical Satire

Most people hate politicians—unless they are one.

Wouldn’t it be great to know that what goes around does come round?  That politicians who make bold promises to secure their election would have to live with the consequences of their actions—or inactions—just like us ordinary people?

To balance the karma, the politician in this story, Henrietta Radcliff Carstairs has to review her life choices in a tribunal conducted between her last and next lifetime.

“…God forgives all.” “…true. However, your karma is not between

you and God…be judged on behalf of those who were affected…”

She gets several options and must choose which of the consequences she will experience in her next life, such as: By supporting unethical trade deals, she can choose to work in a sweatshop.  Made war, bombed countries, thus could decide to reside in a country being bombed.  

Which karma will she decide to balance?
