    The man died comfortable, surrounded by wealth and loved ones, never once having to answer for his crimes. That’s not karma.

        He wasn’t jailed. He wasn’t abroad. He wasn’t captive. He wasn’t injured. He was as comfortable as anyone else old and dying could hope to be. He was surely more comfortable than countless others he negatively affected throughout his life.

        I don’t like it either, but sometimes good things do happen to bad people. Sometimes bad guys get away with being bad guys and end up dying about the same as anyone else because karma isn’t real.

        It was a very short illness. There is no way to pack that much suffering into that short a time. Suffering even moderately over a long period of time is way, way worse.

      We don’t know for sure. Maybe he was in terrible pain, briefly. Let’s just keep that possibility to make us feel better.
