you could be right but it does not always happen in this lifetime.
on the other hand-- resentment has its own karma,
like taking poison and expecting the other guy to die.
revenge is a karma you dont even have to wait for
better to dig 2 graves when you take it.

If you believe that karma exists for people who do bad things, then what about karma for people who live a very simple and honest life and are kind to others? Do they get good karma? From my experience I haven't seen that, at least not across the board. If you live your life as a bad person, then it stands to reason that the law of averages catches up with you and something bad will happen to you.
This part is very true and accurate.

There is alot of confusion and differing definitions on what Karma is and is not,
but for someone who hated this racist, there saying yeah, he got his.
That doesn't define karma for me.
Well it does for me. Which is why I don't believe in Karma.

And another thought... sometimes there are people who defy even the direct cause and effect I was talking about before. Example: my grandfather was a heavy alcoholic for more than 40 years. Lived until the ripe old age of 80 when he suddenly just keeled over - no long, painful liver failure. If Karma existed, the alcohol would have killed his liver and caused a premature death.

Why or Why not?

What you put out into this world comes back to you 10 fold! Don't do dirt for dirt.

Yes, I do believe in it, even if "they" don't recieve the bad until the afterlife, when they are demoted in their next life, so they can experience payback. Course I could be wrong

I believe in it. The bible talks about reeping what you soe. One of these dude's I was talking to did not treat me right. After we stopped seeing each other I prayed that he gets what he deserves. Now I left that up to the lord if that was good or bad. A few weeks later he told me he was working on a car and it dropped on him, almost crushing his spine.

The Bible talks about many things.




We should listen a little more.

If your granpa wasn't an alcoholic, he might have lived to be 100...


My granpa lived to be 97.
