Why do you say this? Who asked you to? What "damage"?
I know this isn't random. I have had to suffer through 20 years of people attacking me over false accusations. Ending up with people claiming all kinds of malicious acts that they have made up. I have had to deal with an utterly sickening amount of crap because of lie after lie after lie after lie after attack after attack. Now my neighbor sounded pissed, most likely because his many shitty accusations were proven false.
I've heard of karma plenty of times, but people only call it karma when it works in their favor. Same with "punishment from god". If it's not in their favor, they retaliate.
