Funnybone challenges the promise of karma: ‘Being good doesn’t always come with a reward’

Nigerian comedian Funnybone has challenged the widely held belief that people who hurt others will eventually face consequences for their actions.

In a social media post, the comedian argued that life does not always deliver the justice people expect after being wronged.

Funnybone questioned the idea of karma as a guaranteed force, pointing out that some people can act badly and still continue to live successful or fulfilling lives.

He also argued that doing the right thing should not necessarily be tied to expectations of receiving a reward in return.

For him, kindness and good character should be personal choices rather than actions motivated by the hope that wrongdoing will eventually be repaid.

The comedian further urged people not to allow personal grievances to make them believe that life will pause for the person who hurt them.

He noted that those who cause harm may continue with their lives and, in some cases, prosper despite their actions.

Funnybone’s comments present a more pragmatic view of morality, suggesting that people should decide the kind of person they want to be without relying on the expectation that every wrong will be answered by a corresponding consequence.
