Service to Self vs Karma

[rva_jeremy]

Like, I would tend to think that most prisoners don't specifically view prison as an opportunity to become more nasty, but rather it's the result of the karmic circumstances they are thrown into.  But those few who are self-aware enough to do discover they thrive in such circumstances undoubtedly take steps to keep themselves where they are.

Yeah, the analogy is extremely limited and really operates on the basis of a common trope anyway. It's just the best analogy I could find to explain what I was thinking.
