As you did.....;^)

Karma...the law of moral causation: beneficial effects
are derived from past beneficial actions and harmful

In modern-day parlance, "what goes around, comes

Hence the neologism, the "Karma-go-round."

In other words, you're screwed until you do domething
to balance the trout reference....
