Does cosmic justice really exist, rewarding good and punishing bad?

[Chthou95]

Do you think good people eventually are rewarded and bad people eventually punished in life due to cosmic justice that restores order in the universe?

[Chazmatazz269]

It’s not really a system of rewards and punishments so much as the universe seeks balance. You really have to struggle against that if your goal is to be out of balance. Remember the old saying, “Every cloud has a silver lining”? Or “April showers bring May flowers!”? “This, too, shall pass”? “You have to take the bad with the good.”? There are lots of axioms colloquially, as well as in religion and philosophy that are meant to remind us that a good life is meant to be balanced. Nobody goes through life only knowing the upside, and nobody goes through life knowing only the downside. Most important of all though is controlling how we react to our ups and downs. Remembering that nothing lasts forever, neither good nor bad. Accepting with grace the fact that we have to have both.

Depends what you mean by "cosmic justice" but "good" IS rewarding - hence why it's called good.

Long term is a different matter, as what may be seen as good now, may not be so after.

[strateguy632]

not exactly but after we die we will be judged by jesus as we christians and muslims agreed. that is like 90% of religious people finally agreeing on something!

No, it doesn't. Karma comes from one's community -- refuse to contribute and you will be alone when you need help.

There is an active and living G0d if that makes any difference to you.
