Simon and Garfunkel songs sound good for that karma. We agree?

Definitely do. What goes around, comes around for sure.

Believers or not makes no difference, the laws of the universe exist for good and bad.

But there exists the subjective sense for experiencing time. In a primordial desire, individuals with all their existence for the knowledge of proven events 'of the universe', have to re-experience in DOUBT the passage of goodness and badness.

Yes but not in the sense of "what goes around, comes around". I believe in reincarnation and that we may have karmic debts to pay from past lives. I don't put a whole lot of effort into it though.

I'm an atheist and don't literally believe in karma, but I still see it as a good way of looking at things. It is true that one's treatment of others will often come back to him, not because of any universal cosmic law but because people who are treated badly will remember, and even those who hear of one treating others badly will remember hearing it and adjust their actions accordingly. Besides all that, it is simply ethical to treat others well.

I believe in karma, but it doesn't come right away. And may come in a different form.

Absolutely! And karma is a ***** too. When I was younger, I used to want to get even with people who have been mean to me but over the years, I no longer need to do that. Karma does that for me and I've seen karma paying back too many times.

This is true, I've adjusted my actions based how I've been treated.

Karma isn't an action and because life is circular, the cycle completes itself.

I have to change my reply if, by Karma, you simply mean every action has a reaction.
