An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

The opposite of Karmic Death. Because of a good deed the heroes do, a streak of spectacular good luck crops up and everything starts to go our protagonist's way. Often seen as consequence of giving a beggar some money, where it turns out that the beggar is someone important who decides to help them. Done poorly, this can lead to a Broken Aesop, where the possibility of a great reward undermines the lesson about selfless actions. Compare Curse Is Foiled Again, Throw the Dog a Bone, and Earn Your Happy Ending. Contrast Karma Houdini Warranty. See also Laser-Guided Karma.
