BS, because if karma was real a lot of evil people and their ancestors would have gotten their "just desserts" a long time ago. Karma is a disgusting belief that justifies cruelty., and begets hopelessness.
Edit: @ blueomni The belief in Karma DOES justify cruelty, all you have to do is look at the "caste" system in India. Those born into the "untouchable" caste are not helped by the higher classes and suffer violence and a lifetime of segregation. It is not "permitted" to interfere with ones karma, therefore those who are ABLE to be kind and generous are NOT allowed according to Karmic law., lest their OWN karma be jeopardized. It begets hopelessness for those BORN unfortunate, because they BELIEVE that they DESERVE a miserable life, and therefore try nothing to change it. So you tell me.. how this is NOT Cruelty??? I stand by my opinion, It is an INHUMANE and DISGUSTING belief system, Period.
And as for "just desserts", I am talking of the global elite, the criminals who have been running things for centuries. If they had gotten what they deserve..according to the bullshit karmic law, they would ceased to exist long ago.
A lot of people get consequences brought about by choices confused with karma. Cause and effect and karma are not quite the same. :)

jective, impersonal Universal law. It isn't revenge. It is justice. Law of attraction is basically "karma." Karma is how we learn and thus evolve. People who disagree with its existence have probably done some negative things they hope will not come back to "haunt" them and also probably do not understand what it is in the first place. BTW... if someone steals from another, karma does not mean that the person who steals will have the experience of being stolen from. What it means is the stealer will experience the "energy" of what the act of being stolen from created in the person who was stolen from. That energy would be in the form of emotion. Violation? Anger? Feeling of injustice? Fear? It could be any combination.

My reply:
The above "answer" reflects a very limited knowledge in what karma is supposed to be. Karma is "What you put out into the world, you get back." Who is to say that "evil people" did not get back what they put out into the world? Ancestors do not have anything to do with an individual's "karma." You are responsible for your own actions and the consequences of those actions. Karma is something you have to experience to know that it exists. How does karma "justify cruelty" or "begets hopelessness'? Justifying the purposeful infliction of cruelty or injustice at all actually will come back to the person if you are talking about "karma."
So if everyone were conscious of their actions and their results and the fact that whatever they create will come back to them, then we would have a more peaceful, compassionate, empathic world. A person reflecting on any action that would result in suffering would have more of a capacity to make a positive choice before acting as opposed to just acting without forethought. Stealing from another would mean that an equal amount of pain that stealing caused would come back to the stealer in some form or another. A person who tortures also will receive an equal amount of pain or negativity. This is created by the person doing the creating. It is an ob

I think Karma is fact, because I believe that life is basically a huge circle, and that life is all interconnected in some way or another, and if you do something bad, well karma eventually bites you in the ***, sometimes it doesn't catch up to you right away, it can be a long time from then, but I believe everything happens for a reason

I believe karma is a natural part of life, it happens if you believe or not. Karma does not need your belief to exist .. nor does your belief effect the results. We are all responsible for our actions .. all actions cause reactions. You reep what your sow .. it's the law of the universe. You may not see the results but I assure you they are real.

What goes around comes around. And I know this to be true. Do unto others and all that....yep it comes back to you. So people can call it Karma, The Golden Rule or even part of the Wiccan Rede, negative energy has a way of creating backlash.....

Karma is just the law of cause and effect; there's nothing mystical about it. If you study hard you'll do well in your exams because studying hard creates the causes of success in exams; the karma of a person who studies hard is to succeed.

Every soul is essentially good. Due to our material desires, by the free will that God gives us, we collect karma. The three modes of material nature are passion, goodness, and ignorance.
Passion hurts the innocent, an exploitation. An example might be a business owner who works people too hard, has no regard for the environment and so forth. A person overly attached to money for an opulent life. Ignorance, also called the mode of darkness, is one of neglect or avoiding. Both passion and ignorance are self centered. The mode of goodness is "akarma" or no karma. Doing things for others without looking for a return such as charity work.
We go in and out of these modes constantly. It is a balance we need to maintain. In this life we are working off the karma of our past lifes. Karma is not always instant. This is the main reason why Hindus are vegetarian, not to take a life before it has had a chance to fulfill it's karma.

"My reasons" are beside the point. "Karma" is nothing more than 'cause and effect'. Why make more of it, than it really is?

Karma doesn't exist as most people label it.
If you steal something it doesn't mean that someone is gonna steal from you. Karma is just a term that we've put on a complex idea in order to make it lighter on the brain but in the process we've missed the meaning completely.
The original idea is that of energy being everything. We are energy and everything we think, say or do carries energy with it. So if you were to steal something from someone you are actually adding negative energy to your life so you shouldn't be surprised if bad events start happening in your life but it's more the thought and feelings behind these actions that determine how much of "karma" you will see in your life.
If you were to steal something and you felt horrible about it, you will definitely see the energy of feeling really bad in your life.
Everything has a natural consequence, your feelings about it determines how quick and how strong it shows in your life - it doesn't necessarily show up the same way it was made originally.

to believe in karma or not it shouldn't really matter. what matters is do to others as you would do to yourself. being kind and respectful to people and offering a hand in need will have a flow on affect as those who appreiciate your kindness are more likely to return the favour, not necassarily back to us but forward to some one else.

I totally believe karma exists. I have seen it happen over and over again. The funny thing about karma is that usually the person who was hurt in a dynamic does not stay around long enough to see karma exact its revenge on the perpetrator of the pain. The victim does not witness the retribution of karma...but the karma does happen. One of those ironies of life.

I still believe in karma. Karma is not always a retribution type of thing...it's more of an action-result thing. It's reaping what you sow at a basic level and it can be good or bad. I think that the effect of karma is sometimes not easily seen or recognized.
