karma

[icy wolf]

so just in case you dont know what karma is hears the deflation
the belief inv the concept of "action" or "deed", understood as that which causes the entire cycle of cause and effect.

so in other word good actions lead to good cause and effects

negative actions lead to negative cause effects

or if you like

for each action there is an equivalent and equal reaction.

Karma is the very base of my beliefs. I have found much proof in my life that its real and exists. And if it doesn't? well then I still went through life a pretty nice guy. I cant lose.

Murder, thievery, muggings, rape, and so much more go on on a daily basis. Many of these crimes go unpunished for days, weeks, months, even years. Sometimes the offender is never brought to justice before they die happily in their bed of old age. With this in mind, no, I don't believe karma exists. Life is far too picky in who it decides get punished for their crimes and who is rewarded for their good deeds for me to have any reason to.

No. I believe one does whatever they want with their life and makes of it whatever they want to make...whether they are a bad or good person. Free will is free will no matter your situation you can do what you want with yourself.

A good person can be totally unhappy if they want to be. A bad person can get away with all their crimes and be perfectly happy if they're smart and try.

Depends on the individual. Not some cosmic force.

(in my opinion)

[Spink]

I don't believe in karma in a supernatural, or mystical vein. (ie: Stealing a cookie from a cookie jar isn't the catalyst for a book falling on one's head later). But, a form of it does exist. If I were to harm someone, in some way, odds are that person would try to harm me back in the same way (or worse) which would be the "measure for measure" that karma is based on. Another thing is, if I were to do something against the law, then the law would punish me and that's another form of the "measure for measure" of karma. There are other examples that exist in the real world, but I just view it as something physical and something done by humans for the most part, than say, I throw a can into the trash and just happen to trip the next day.

[.: ♥ Kiniia ♥ :.]

In my honest opinion. I tend not to believe in such things. I do something nice because I want to, not because I believe I will get something good, I do it merely for the act of helping someone, making their life a little easier as I know life can be a total b****.

I dont believe if you do bad things a cosmic energy will punish you. I believe people will merely seek revenge upon that person. there have been cases of child rapists winning the lottery, or serial killers never being caught or punished.

I can sometimes be a spiritual person, but I am not religious. I do not hold anything against anyone who is, and I wont try and change them. Just as I hope they dont try to change my beliefs.

[White Wolf Guardian]

I definitely think what goes around comes around, so I do believe in karma.

[Self-sain]

I don't believe in Karam

but, for once, I do hope I'm wrong, I wish it was real, I just don't believe in it.

[Puncia]

I don't believe in luck, fate nor karma. Life is just a series of coincidences and all choices everyone has ever done were part chance.

IMHO.

[Pea]

The only thing I've notices is bad things have a bad effect on my mind, and good things have a good effect. Is that Karma?

[Self-sain]

That's your consciousness

[Pea]

Well besides the effects on my conscious I don't really see any other good/bad cause and effects corresponding with my actions....

[WingedZephyr]

I don't think it's a strict rule that doing something good = something good done to you and doing something bad = something bad done to you, but I think things do tend to work out that way sometimes.

[Righteousbro]

Generally, I don't believe there's some form of perfect system where good happens to good people and vise versa but I do believe you're punished for things that are generally bad and rewarded for things that are good, bad being defined by it's affect on those around you (So it's not like there's a rule book with obscure rules or anything, it has to actually do something bad to be bad.)

[Puncia]

I also think that there is no such thing as a perfect "good" or "evil". Whatever you do, no matter how or why, there will ALWAYS be someone that believes this to be a good thing. Always someone that believes it is a bad thing.

Buy your mate a gift out of pure love and affection. Good, yes? No. Not if children slaved in China to make it. Bad? No. Maybe one of these children are keeping their siblings alive with their work? Good? No. Poor children litter the streets and cause criminality to rise. Bad? No. I bet someone out there would be dead if they didn't make money though crime... And so on.
