honestly.. if you know the cat, and he got off with im guessin a qp 1200 plus.. you gotta do somethin bout it.. the game is all bout respect, honor, and reputation. you dont even have to make it something public like beating his ass, or anything like that, but something that represents you.. for instance lets say this dude got you for a g, hes all runnin his mouth talkin about it and shit, you lost respect in the game, and a rep as a mark like you said.. it would be one thing if you fucked him around or bsed him or whatever and it was coming to you, then he retaliated, but if you have always been straight with him and he got you for no reason, you must retaliate.
its like the japaneese samorai, they believed that marking their own death was more honorable than being defeated by an enemy.. thats how the game is, gotta have the honor to get the respect, and the respect to get the reputation all at your own risk in your own hands...
long story short if he got you for a g, make him pay more than that, dont matter if you get your money back but make it cost him a hell of a lot more so he feels fuckin with you is a curse.. im talkin move in on his girl, slash his tires, if hes got rims leave that shit on blocks, get him fired from his job, make it known that you know what he did, and everyone knows what he did not by runnin your mouth but through the grapevine. make him scared, you get the idea attack from the angles that are not seen..
dont just give him a beating, wounds heal. a mans status, reputation, wallet etc. are much harder to repair...make his life a living hell so that he wants to pay you back so in the future him, and nobody else will want to fuck with you. cuz if he knows you know and your not doin anything whats to stop him in the future?
honestly there is a real aspect to karma, but karma in itself is not a reality. karma is just a conceptual way to describe the cause and effect of choices made. that girl got beat to death cuz she continued to fuck people over in a blatant manner. theres lots of crazy mofos in this world and she fucked with the wrong one.. her choice, she recieved the consequences. that guy who jumped out of the car and ran off with the cash and bud.. thats an incredibly dumb thing to do, he showed his intellectual prowess by smokin a blunt anywhere but the confines of his own home with bud n shit on him.. dumbass got the reprecussions of his actions... but what my point is that these were not some cosmic forces coming back to punish the wicked, they were just stupid in the way they went about things. there are corporate crooks, and corrupt politicians that live and die with blood on their hands and money in their pockets but where is karma to punish these people? it doesnt happen because they take the neccisary precautions to cover their asses. theres assholes that kill people and get away with it, rape people and get away with it.. then there are those who go to jail for years for petty drug crimes, why did they deserve to get raped in prison and beaten to near death because they smoked some bud? what about people starving and babies dying in other countries, what crimes did they commit to deserve that short existance on earth?
if karma worked correctly the world would not be fucked up the way it is and we would live in a perfect balance in a utopia. karma is an idealistic belief that is used somewhat like laws and religion as a way to keep people in line and making good decisions... although it is nice to sit back and think that maybe there is a cosmic force getting back at your enemies.. the sad fact of the matter is nobody in this world is gonna right your wrongs unless its you
