'Poetic justice' - the very idea is very captivating for us, mortals. The pleasure of reading the Shakespearean masterpiece, 'Macbeth' or merely flipping through the Karmic connotations of Gautam Buddha's teachings which delve deep into the significance of 'karma' or deeds in the 'samsara' or 'life', and how it eventually decides a person's journey through life or beyond, is very marked.
Similarly, even in Hindu theology, 'Karma' or the notion of 'good begets good', is very widespread. It is not a way of merely glorifying God, by proclaiming that the Almighty or the supreme entity which rules us, is always 'fair' in the end, but also a way of making people monitor their own selves in order to pave the path for a better tomorrow, where everyone is disciplined in their actions, in fear or hope of the Karmic effects.
Perhaps this belief itself, is a necessity in the contemporary world, to rein in the earthlings and their wayward progression.
Similarly, this concept also makes one the ruler of his own destiny, thereby proving its significance and importance.
