I mean she was in her 80s that kinda just happens when people get up there. She had a long, successful life where she was adored by millions. That’s like the best you could ask for.

I’m just saying, if I was part of a religion that believed in Karma, Dolly Parton would be an example, she lived longer than most people and better than most people. I’d call that a sign of good Karma, if there wasn’t a myriad of counterexamples of terrible people living even longer and having even more wealth, like our President for one.

Karma in the religious sense is also a cosmic force, if you’re a terrible person who lives a long and fruitful life, those faiths would believe that you’re gonna get the shortest possible end of the reincarnation stick. The Hindu answer to “this awful person seems to be having a great life, what about Karma?” would be “they will have a terrible time in the next life”

One of the Six Paths of Samsara in Hinduism is basically a lifetime as a demon in hell. Bad people who enjoyed good lives would get that path as penance for their misdeeds, and hopefully the next time they come back as a human, they do better.
