It's just a make believe thing that makes people feel better or more secure in their lives. It's not real.

I agree with you, but then isn't it weird how populations control themselves? Like if there are too many rabbits, there will be an increase in animals that hunt rabbits or there will be a disease that wipes out enough rabbits to restore equilibrium. I believe this applies to humans as well - every time medicine advances to cure something, a new, worse, more difficult to cure disease takes its place. I'm open to the idea of karma. Maybe it's just in human nature to draw conclusions about coincidences and that's all it is, but I think it's a nice idea all the same. I like to believe that if something bad happens to me (I break my nose by falling in the shower, I get an STD despite not having sexual relations) then something good will happen to me at some point in the future to balance it (I gave a really good presentation on Friday and the lecturer personally congratulated me afterwards)
