Deification.
The deification of people and objects is a throw-back to the deification of the sun engendered by ignorance and/or the need for a psychological crutch.

The fact that, in a spiritual context, one is made in the image of the Great Spirit does not mean that one is correct in imagining the Great Spirit as something like one’s Earthly self. To do this accurately one has firstly to be able to imagine one’s own spiritual image.
The Law of Karma is very simple but its application is as varied as the menting* of the individuals which activate it.
In Earthly life there is nothing really “bad” for the Spirit you because negative mentality only delays full enlightenment and the cessation of the cycle of birth and death. However, for the physical you - in all the possible states of physicalness - “bad” things can result in pain or suffering or unhappiness or all of these.
Likewise, the opposite applies.
