I think "karma" is a crock. Karma is for those people who don't want to believe in a God, but want to believe there is some other power, like "mother nature." To me it's absolutely ridiculous that people will reject God, but believe that there is some magical force in nature that kind of balances everything out? Not to make this religious or spiritual, but it is. Believing in karma is a type of religion.
Now I do believe that if you are nice to people and do nice things, then obviously there will be some benefits, because people will treat you nice back and so on. But do I believe that if I did something bad 10 years ago, it's going to come back and get me due to "karma"? Lol no way.
I never thought about it that way,I mean like if.... let me think about a an example... If you played with a girls emotions(not saying that you would)just because you wanted to mess around or something. Do you think a girl would do that later on to you?if you really liked her and she's just messing with you. - More than a year ago

Well obviously it can happen because girls are mean :o) But is it a direct result from what you did in the past? I don't think so. What magical force would be driving that? But obviously we're going to do wrong stuff, and bad stuff is going to happen, and we're going to do good stuff and good stuff is going to happen. That's life. But I don't think there's a "mother nature" or "karma" that is a magical force that connects it all. - More than a year ago

I say yes and no. There is no such thing as someone looking over you (even if its yourself) and saying "you did something good, I'll chuck you something good back".
I think only for myself a lot of the time. Not so much in a selfish way but I don't contribute to helping anyone or anything. But recently I had helped a lost friendship bring itself together before something seriously wrong happened and after that happened one good thing happened to me (it lasted about 2 or 3 days). It wasn't just the fact it was something good that was returned to me, it was the fact that it was a miracle in my eyes (and no it's not love or anything emotional! *rolls eyes*). It's a personal thing so I cannot explain it here. It was a complete physical miracle to me.
The thing is I don't believe in Karma. But when things like that happen you never know. It's probably just a psychological thing in the end.
Not at all. I think that karma is an illusion caused by people's general inattentiveness. No one pays any attention to 99.9% of the things that happen around them, and then suddenly when one coincidence occurs, they try to attribute it to some cosmic force of equity. It's just a big joke. The only sense that it's true is in a normative way, through social interaction (nice people tend to create nice environments around them, nice environments tend to cause others to act nice). Nothing universal. That's pretty naive if you ask me.
I think your energy can attract and repel events brought upon through other people, but if a tree falls on your house it's not because you didn't donate to the Salvation Army last week.
I can believe in payback, not karma. Payback is tangible--if someone does something to you, you can do something back. I don't believe in some force that exists for the purpose of punishing those who have done wrong. Especially since there are so many cases where something bad happens to a good person, and vice versa.
If something bad happens to a person who did something wrong, it's unfortunate for them, but I don't think it's karma.
Yes I believe in it. I believe in God and karma. In the Bible it says "you reap what you sow" and that's true. It might not be right after you did something wrong, but one day (you never know when it'll hit you) you will pay the consequences for wrong that you did to someone else.
One time in high school I was making fun of this girl's outfit (I feel really bad now!) she heard what I was saying but it was really funny and everyone at the table was funny. Well the next day my pants ripped in the crotch area. There was a really big hole and it was horrible because none of my family could come and give me new pants so I had to hide in the bathroom for hours until someone came. And I got detention for missing class.
why yes I do. but then I also try to not put myself in a situation where I will get hurt, try to anyway. I've been hurt by ex-bf's and I feel like karma does exist. I've stopped all contact with them, but it seems from stories I've heard, they are having bad karma even though I don't even think about them or contact them anymore ^_^
not at all i think this because I know the nicest family and they have had so so so much suffering in their family throughout their lives and they havnt done anything wrong
Yes I really believe that. If everyone was bad and there were no consequences, so to speak, the world would be an awful place. One time in 5th grade I did soemthing bad (I don't feel like typing the story) and a month or so later I got hurt really badly, and I still have signs of where I was hurt. And I think the two ar related.
I kind of go back an forth. It seems like a lot of people really get what they deserve but then there are some people who don't just mess up but are actually bad people and they have a great life because of their wrong doings.
Think about it...how many criminals never get caught? They reap the rewards and get away with it. Does their mother immediately die, or do they get stricken with testicular cancer? Doubtful. There's no cosmic police dealing in metaphysical punishment or reward. - More than a year ago

Do you believe what you give out will come back to you three fold, kinda like karma?Theres this girl who I know and she basically stole my boyfriend...
Inevitably in life, we become associated with the wrong people. Through choice or not, there are some people who really appear to only wreak havoc in the lives of others. Plain evil though, we can all...
I don't know about you, but I always find it funny listening to the stories my co-workers have regarding their love interests. Not one of them, including those married, ever have anything nice to say...
