Do you believe in Karma?

I believe in Karma, but not in the traditional sense of the universe, but in the sense of people. If others know that you are a good person in need, they are more willing to help. Anyone else believe in Karma?

I used to take a religious notion about karma, such as a right cross, but I'm no longer a violent person (the war knocked that out of me, so to speak).

There's been many times I've needed a little help and usually go to local churches. I might have to hear them preach while biting my tongue and giggle inside but I will go out of my way to help another living creature if I'm able to in anyway possible. What's not cool is a few years ago in Tulsa, an athiest group gave money to help a local church and they turned it away. Now that aint right! Thats when karma should bite you in the ass!

Nope... thats saying something out there is taking notes. Kind of like a santa claus. Ugh!

Yes. I believe that if you put out positive energy you get back positive energy assuming that Karma equates to energy.

It's fun to make jokes about when something good/bad happens to a person who did something good/bad. Ultimately though, no. It's just another way of shirking the sheer complexity of the world and universe.

No, I do not.

I do. I believe the universe returns to you many times over what you send out

No way
The whole concept of karma, is horrable. Believing what happens to you is because you deserve it.
Karma offer used by people who wish there was some kinda of comic justic system. Same as religion.

No, I don't believe in Karma. But I do think that the attitude with which you engage the world effects on the types of relationships you develop and how your future unfolds. So it can very much "feel" as if Karma is real.

I wouldn't call it karma but I believe we all are the authors of our own eventual destruction, everything has a consequence attached in some form

I was looking for this reply. I agree!

No

No, not at all. From what I've seen of the world, the worst people get ahead and the good people are ground into the earth. If Karma existed then those "worst people" would get paybacks and not get ahead.

I certainly do. It's just cause and effect, what goes up must come down, what goes around comes around. "You don't spit in the wind" says Jim Croce. Try asking the Aborigines of Australia what happens whenever they throw their deadly toy.

I just visited the external link you provided and would have thanked you at once if I didn't fell off my chair laughing and now have a bruised left elbow.

The Karma cafe, where you get served what you deserve. I would love to believe it and have seen a lot of people get their's. On the other hand I think it could be like the fallacy where you only remember the wins but forget the loses. When I think about it, a lot of good people had terrible lives and a lot of terrible people had good lives. So no, I don't believe in Karma. The only justice in this world comes from us. So we have to keep working for it.

Yes bro, some are indeed smarter than others

No! Not only do good people suffer and miserable people just go on to make others miserable. And think about. Someone does you wrong. Then they fall and break a limb. We have the tendency to say, "Great , they got theirs." Not only is there no relation, but the person who broke the limb would never take it as Karma and never learn a lesson from it.

I take karma as the scientific "cause and effect" thing

Most people think of it as you bad or good results from being omitting bad or good actions. It often doesn't follow and as I also pointed out, what purpose would it serve if the person experiencing the negative affects of their actions, doesn't realize it is because of their reactions? Like everything else, we can put as much energy as possible into something and it will help the result to be what we want, but it is still left up to chance.

I wish. It would be nice knowing all those kids who bullied me in school or even Donald Trump would get theres some day

You certainly can count on it. But you don't have to dwell in it, vendetta polluting your mind. What you have inside of you will surely show on the outside . . . unless you're a damn good actress - like me, a dumb good actor! LOL
