Do you believe in Karma?

[~Ethereal~]

But not ridiculously into it.

 

[Conspirator.]

Nothing like that, You can be a saint and still suffer in this world. If people want to believe in it that is fine, people are entitled to their beliefs and I respect that. But I don't nor will I ever believe in karma

I have to agree with this.

Ive grown up around mad rastafarians and one princple they stress is that we (our flesh) will always be subjected to sorrow and pain in order for us to recoginze our own inner strength & power because the next life will call for it. But i respect your opinión friend.

[Sage of Mount Myoboku]

no but I believe in the inverse of karma (do good thing and bad things happen to you and visa versa)
life is a cruel *****

 

[Jazzy Stardust]

[Fountain]

Karma is real.

 

[Hexuze]

I believe in it to some extent.

 

[Power Bottom]

Yes. What goes around comes around

Karma is 100% true to me

 

[UltraPain]

Karma isn't real, but I have seen a lot of people who do sh*tty things wind up in sh*tty , self inflicted situations.

 

[Karna]

Karma doesn't just work in one life actually, you have to consider both reincarnation and Karma to actually understand how it works, or at least that's how it is where that came from.

 

[RasenUchihaChaos]

If karma existed a lot of people I despise should be dead or suffering right now

 

[V h o]

Not really, karma is just something people made to validate their actions or give reason to the unknown.

 

[Yubel]

Karma was created by weak people who couldn't get back at another person saying "it's ok, karma will take care of them" which gives them a feeling of satisfaction and puts them on a moral highground, making themselves think they're better than someone else. For me, there is no such thing as actual karma, there is what I want and how I'll get it, if anyone stands in my way I'll be their karma.

 

[Callypigia]

There are two types of karma: Reciprocity (What comes around, goes around) and Religious. I believe in both. Karma actually means action or deed. It is good, it's bad, it is what it is. People often think it doesn't exist because life has so much suffering. Sometimes it looks like we don't have any justice for our misfortunes, but we do, eventually, in some way even if it isn't instantaneous. Our deeds always come back on us positively or negatively. Rapists, murders, these people may get off on a crime, but their lifestyle always comes back on them in some way. People who treat others badly eventually burn all their bridges and find themselves alone and miserable. People who treat others kindly will ultimately be surrounded by a supportive environment. It doesn't mean bad things won't happen.

Religious karma is much more involved and harder to grasp. It exists and is carried over between lifetimes. The goal is to balance the good and bad, to be neutral. Neutral karma stops samsara, the cycle of rebirth. Different cumulative actions lead to rebirth into six different realms (most often rebirth as a human again).

I understand if people don't believe in spiritual/religious karma, but day to day reciprocity is very real even if we aren't always seeing it. Experiment with it in your own life; be kind to everyone, even those who are unkind to you. The more you act kind towards others the more good things will come to you.

 

[BlacLord™]

Yeah, but it's not just about actions. If you're corrosive by nature, you're going to run into problems with karma.
