i know a lot of people who strongly believe in karma since if you do something that is bad for your own good, the universe will remind you what you've done. it's very beautiful to see that our actions aren't totally unrestricted otherwise we'll experience some big trouble with people committing some horrible crimes without the karma knocking on their door

it's the same thing if you do good things for people. the good karma will to you and rewards you with (almost) everything that you deserve. it's like a balance between good and evil that our universe made for those who live

(although i personally don't think that it's something that is guaranteed unfortunately)

there exists a karma in the sense that if you're an asshole to someone, they will probably dislike you. But karma as in a more spiritual sense, absolutely not

this is just the fallout of your behaviour towards people. if someone is obnoxious with you, of course you won't like them but this is not what represents the karma

also, i didn't mean it in a spiritual sense, but more in the sense that if you've had a lot of luck, the luck wants you to have a lot of bad luck in the future or vice versa

"if you've had a lot of luck, the luck wants you to have a lot of bad luck in the future"

also what karmine and reyalp were saying is that there are terrible people who just keep on winning and succeeding without any seemingly bad thing happening to them

it's going to be very hard to read all of this, but i'll give it a try later if i'm bored :cry:

karma doesn't always apply to everybody everytime. if those terrible people are winning and nothing can stop them, then we can't really do anything whether they were clever or not...

you dont need to read the entire wikipedia article, it's just that being really unlucky and then expecting yourself to be lucky is a fallacy, past odds dont define future odds

also, if karma doesn't apply to everybody everytime, what is the point?, if you do bad things there a probability that bad things will happen to you but if you do good things bad things can still happen so ?????

this kind of thing applies very well on games that require luck like gacha games or card games

this is why i said "(although i personally don't think that it's something that is guaranteed unfortunately)" in the OP. i don't think that karma is always a thing otherwise we'd be asking ourselves a lot of questions lol

According to Buddhist teachings, it will affect that person in their next life. And that also explains why some people who do bad deeds get away with it. Because the person who do a lot of bad deeds supposedly does a lot of good deeds in their previous life, therefore their "karma point" is high. BUT if they keeps on doing bad deeds their karma point will be subtracted. And when that runs out, either in this life or next lives, they'll be punished for their actions. The opposite is also true

yeah I talked about this before, i'm not really religious so I don't really share this same viewpoint, but I think it makes more sense than karma existing in our current life

it's very random
if karma can or not happen, then karma does not exist as good/bad things will happen regardless of if you do good/bad things

yes...
Karmine
So what you're saying is some people do bad things and have bad luck and that's karma, some people do bad things and have good luck though but that's because karma doesn't apply to everyone for some reason.
Have you considered that there's no karma and whether you're lucky or not is unrelated to your actions (which is the definition of luck btw).

As a concept, not really. But If I'm stealing money from a starving college student, I would feel really bad deep inside because of empathy. I won't do it either way due to I'm knowingly commiting a crime, and my moral compass and empathy is working

I'm Buddhist so I believe in it.

That's why I bring up the reincarnation stuffs. Because if reincarnations isn't real (which we can neither prove nor disprove it (at least not yet)), then Karma as a concept does not make a lot of senses (at least for me). (And also because both Karma and Reincarnation are Buddhist concepts.)

Karma is like a coincidence. I don't believe in that idea, like in a recent post I had made on a different forum here. After all, the idea of "luck" is really what you're doing, since your choices matter throughout the day. That's what determines your luck in my opinion.

karma is the informal sense is basically luck yeah, but sometimes the coincidence can be so questionable like when you win a coin flip several times in a row for example

I don't believe in karma.

However if someone is a bad person they are more likely to have bad things happen to them because of who they are, what they do and who they surround themselves with.

So in a way people do get what they deserve a lot of the time.

it's kind of the same for me. i don't think that karma is a thing but people who do bad things will have the fallout of their actions on them
