I sure hope it exist. If it does and with what I've dealt with, I should be a billionaire and married to Kate Beckinsale one day.

It's not karma. It's reaping what you sow.

I believe in the principle of karma, that if you do bad things it eventually comes back around.

I don't believe that it's the universe getting even or some shite like that. I believe that if you do bad shite to other people, eventually other people will do bad shite to you.

I try to do the right thing and hope it will be returned but that's not the case for me. I do nice things everyday and treat others how I want to be treated but I have seen no benefits.

But it doesn't stop me and I don't do it hoping one day it pays off. I do it because you are supposed to.

oh and in the reverse there are plenty of rich and powerful people who act terribly and yet receive no punishment.

Not really. If a person were to save a city from a nuclear plant meltdown by exposing himself to radiation. Then felt like he did the right thing. Then died from cancer in the following year, would you say that this concept of instant karma is working because he thought he did the right thing? That's some reward.

As in if you do good things good things will come back to you? Nah...

Karma or not would you have the decency to do the right thing and own up to the mistake/accident?


Of course, but only because I don;t think you can avoid doing the right thing most of the time and claim you're of good character.

I've seen it attributed to many people, but I've always loved defining character as doing the right thing even when no one is looking. I love that one, since I don;t believe in any creator types looking down judging me. When I do something right, it's not because I'm being judged from on high...or in the very real sense, being watched by someone else who I'm trying to impress with my good deed.

I do not believe in karma. I do the right thing because it's the right thing to do, not in hopes of something good happening to me, that just seems selfish.

I think it's clear karma doesn't exist, I mean how can senators and members of congress do things behind close doors like plotting people's murder or harm to other people and they get elected to higher positions in congress or even president but nothing happens to them?

No, in the same way I don't believe in ghosts or other supernatural things.

I was walking out to my car at school yesterday where this lady was trying to park her Nissan Titan between my car and someone's Kia. She hit her front bumper on the front fender of the Kia. As I walked behind her truck to take a picture of the license plate to help out the Kia driver in case the truck driver decided to leave, the girl who owns the Kia comes out of her class and says that the truck driver is her Aunt and I need to mind my own business.

I almost lost it on the girl. I would appreciate if someone would have done that for me.

Yeah dude. 100% I believe in Karma.
The shitey part is when you aren't around to see it happen.

There is a destiny that makes us brothers. None walks their way alone. What we send into the lives of others, comes back into our own.

I used to not believe in it. I was a pretty shitty person for a while. Screwing people over , stealing , drinking etc. One day I won $100k on a scratch off and was immediately hit by a car and lost the ticket.While in the hospital "karma" spoke to me.

I started doing better and helping people. You won't believe it but the lotto ticket found its way back to me. Karma is powerful.

Have you seen people with cancer? Died in misery and pain and had his time with his family cut short while a coward who ran from the hypothetical situation gets to enjoy everything.

I'm not trying to complain, but this idea of cosmic fairness that karma tries to assert is absurd. The universe isn't fair. Just the way it is, and that's ok.

I believe you get treated the way you treat others. Call it Karma if you want though I don't believe it's really that or even very hard to understand.
