Do you believe in karma? (1 Viewer)

I'm curious to know what others think about karma. Do you believe what goes around comes back around?

Personally, I think that people will eventually get punished or get what's coming to them for their wrongdoings. I believe that you can only get away with certain things for long so I'm definitely a believer in karma.

What about you? Do you believe in karma?

I like the concept of karma, but I don’t believe in it per se

I do not but wish I could, I think I would be more at peace that way....... but yeah there's not much justice in this world..

I hope that karma is real. I'm not sure if I believe in it but it feels somewhat like justice if someone gets punished for doing something wrong and the people who do good are blessed.

I don't always think karma is always a spiritual thing though. The rewards that people receive later in life are often linked to the good deeds they did in the past and the punishment people recieve are linked to the bad things they did in the past. This isn't always the case but quite often it is. It's just people reaping the benefits of their hard work in the past - they're not being rewarded by an otherwordly force but by decisions they made themselves (vice versa).

I hope I explained that well T_T.

I believe there isn't such a thing. Just that everything happens for a reason.
Good or bad, I don't think that's for us to decide.

It's when people start taking their own form of justice, is what I have an issue with.
Like use Karma as an excuse to do the things they do.

I like the idea of it, but sadly I don't think it's reality.

Yes and no. In this life? No. Assuming there is no force that records and tracks your actions other than religious powers.

Heaven/Hell? Hell yes. (aha)
If you're a horrible person, you're going to hell. Isn't that karma enough? You're punished for your actions.

Uh, kinda.

We choose if we want to learn the easy way or the harsh one, but it'll inevitably come, even if randomly so...

In a way it's impossible there's no karma
