I believe that actions have consequences so I think we have a lot to learn from the idea of karma in some respects, especially in the buddhist tradition.
The Western Christian interpretation of karma -the idea that bad people get their comeuppance- I find to be a load of rubbish and bears no relation to reality. Besides, it contradicts that old Christian edict that a good deed is done with no expectation of reward. Whether you believe in an afterlife where everything is put right in the end or a metaphysical dimension to our world where ambitious, power-hungry people suffer on a spiritual level (it's lonely at the top as they say), physical life is a Darwinistic absurdity where plenty of people do bad things and get away with it. |

Some Evil Nasty Criminals get the Electric Chair in the USA but as many Evil Nasty Criminals are not even caught. So Karma is used as a word that is all. There is No God That is a Fact. |
Yes I do very much so.
I used to be a quite negative person tbh, always arguing with people, miserable and just generally angry and I never kind of got why I was unhappy alot (I wasn't depressed or bullied or anything like that, just not a very nice person). Then one day I just kind of woke up and thought "life's too short" and decided to change my ways. I was generally more upbeat and felt better in myself for it and eventually got to realise that because I felt more positive that I GOT positive results - I now have the best friends I could possible ask for, I passed my A Levels with my wanted grades and am starting university in September - generally loving life. So for me, Karma is more of a kind of mental or "energy" thing rather than purposely going out and doing good things to get good things yourself ("My Name Is Earl"). BUT saying that I do believe that if you do very, very bad things that in some shape or form you WILL get some sort of backlash, how small or big it may be. I'm actually planning to get the word "Karma" tattoo'd in a few weeks on my wrist because I basically have all of my current successes thanks to Karma. |
I'm starting to.
Something happened, and since then it's been like :|. :( Regrets. |
I think there is something like Karma, but it is within us, and not some external force, if that makes sense.
