Yes, I've always believed in karma and reincarnation. That is the basic principle of life, that is how the universe works.
You do bad things to others, you will be punished sooner or later, and the opposite, if you are selfless, help others, do good things, you will be rewarded, your life will be excellent.

Not really.
Good things happen to everybody.
Bad things happen to everybody.

Yes, and no.
Karma was developed from Eastern concepts, but these concepts were tied in with the belief of reincarnation.
I do believe that if somebody believes in karma, they will suffer at its hand, and if they choose not to believe in karma, they won't, which is relevant to the law of attraction...

No. Karma is like saying "The guy who tries to always be nice and honest succeeds, while the guy who is skeevy and dishonest always gets it back in the end".

My concept of karma (all rights reserved to "My Name is Earl"):
"Do good things and good things happen, to bad things and bad things happen"
Life is unpredictable, you never know what's coming, don't think in "life" as a living being which is vengeful, it's not, the phrase I quoted above shows how unpredictable life is and how predictable humans are. For those who believe in karma, when doing something bad your brain will automatically save the occurrence in your subconscious, therefore when you find yourself in a bad situation your brain brings back the previous episode and links it to the present, like it would make some kind of logical connection.
Everything around us is made by our brain.
That's my theory, doesn't make sense because I'm not English by nature so I cannot express myself as I would like to.

The ONLY thing that will happen if you do something bad is
1. Revenge
2. Scared of something happening and you indirectly causing something to happen
3. Something unrelated happens and you try to force 'karma' into it like it was karma's fault.
Karma doesn't exist, Karma isn't real.
There is no good and evil balance, there is only logic and reasoning. Same goes for deities.
If you're a bad guy then people are not going to like you, and you'll eventually screw up and get in trouble for some of your wrong doing. That's not karma, that's not bad luck, that's just your fault.
If you're a nice guy you'll make friends, friends can have connections and get you good things. It's all about people being nice or people being bad. There's no karma involved. |

Not quite, many situations that we label as "predictable" sometimes end up being unpredictable. Though when I said "life is unpredictable" I wasn't referring meaningless situations such as "if I throw this rock at the window glass, it will surely break", but even in those situations sometimes they become out of our predictions, imagine you didn't notice that a little kid was in front of the window.
| Quote: | | It's all about people being nice or people being bad. There's no karma involved. |
You contradicted yourself, you said exactly the same I did in my post and then ended the paragraph saying the opposite.
Though you're wrong in something, sometimes you're a nice person and you end up being stabbed on the back by the ones you helped their entire life.
Life is a bitch, we must live with our eyes wide open and be prepared for anything. We never know what bad situations are coming or what we are going to go through, so you better watch-out, wake up and live with the true, life was made by Man and you can't trust the Man.
