    Karma is just another way to tell you to do good, and be good.
    As long as you do good, and be good, what you believe in doesn't really make a difference.

    I wish Karma was real. So I would be getting 100 in calc, while that cheating bitch would be getting zero.

    DAMN IT!!!

    Hm....... To me Karma is your conscience. If you've never done anything bad in your life and suddenly one day something bad happens to you that's bad luck right? But if you do something bad and something bad happens to you it's Karma because you know you did something bad and it caught up with you.

    Well, we can't be sure if karma is real cuz we won't know that we're suffering today because of something bad we did back then.

    But let's admit that the thought of karma makes people think twice when they wanna do something bad.

    And if you wanna apply it to real life. Let's say you're a pretty poor person but you've always done good and been kind. So when your situation is dire, they'll always be people who will help you. There's good karma for you.

    If you're a bad person but you're filthy rich. You'll have everything in the world and at the same time have absolutely nothing. You have everything money can buy and don't own anything money can't buy like true love, true friendship, etc etc. There's bad karma for you.

    Everything has a give and take. No one side can just take and no one side should just give. And good people do a lot of giving so they usually get back something in return.

    Karma is as real as it gets. It's like Ying and Yang. Everything has to be balanced.

    karma is bullshit.

    I got to know of a book published by religious institution about karmaic retribution. In the book, it have comics about what you will become if you did something wrong in your next life. Yes, karma is said to work in your next life.

    Example, in this life, you are horny guy/girl and next life you will reborn as a bird.

    That's pretty stupid to me. But it's true I tell you. The book does exist.

    Trying to prove Karma is going back to try to explain the creation of the universe and how "Life" as we know it came about.

    In its simplest form, its just simply Action, reaction. But which came first ? Can the law of nature explain the origins of life itself ?

    Let's just say Karma does not exist, and there is no such thing, then perhaps we are immediately closing ourselve off from further questioning.

    The thing about Karma as we percieve it is that we can only percive it from a lifetime we have here. Surely assuming we are part of the Alpha and the Omega, we are AS OLD as the universe itself isn't it ?

    So all the measurements we can percieve is inadequate to explain Karma simply because the timeframe is too short !

    Well, I guess the only thing left where is avaliable to us is to perhaps examine cases of some people who claim that they are able to recall their past lives and claims of reincarnation.

    There are a couple of interesting cases. I have included a link that some might might find interesting.

    Cheers everyone.

    karma means "what goes around, comes back around" so if you do something good, you will gain smth good..and if you do something bad, vice versa. and I do believe in karma
     
  20. which is basically the same sorta ideals as karma would define.... but of course reap what you sow same difference

    i would love to actually truly believe good stuff happen because of the good things you do but it rarely ever happens, i just leave things to coincidences....
