Thread: Bad Karma/Good Karma -- do you believe?

Do you people believe in Bad Karma? What about in Good Karma? What about karma in general?

Do you think people can be Their Own Worst Enemy and bring about their own catastrophe without realizing it? Do you think it's possible through sheer incorrigibility coupled with a healthy dose of mental illness and the complete lack of awareness of that to continually bring upon oneself constant disaster and catastrophe?

I'm just wondering who believes in any of these things. Because the concepts are a vital part of many religions around the world.

Okay I'll go first. Yes I do believe in karma. is very similar to the astrophysical concept of every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

As most boxers seem to say "Everything for a reason".

On the whole I believe you get what you deserve in life. If you are good then good things happen and visa versa.

Anne Frank?
Leon Klinghoffer?
Louis Zamperini?


It rains on the just and unjust alike.


Life is neither good nor bad, helping a person in some cases might impede their own personal growth...I'm not saying I'm against doing good deeds I'm just saying there's a depth to life that few if any can fully grasp and I know I am unable to see the complete full picture.

Interesting angle there, Lyle. Yeah sometimes it seems "only the good die young" etc... So who knows, you've added a good point that may make me reconsider this. Is there any such thing as real Justice?

Very much so, not so much in a spiritual or religious sense but simply doing what one feels right-needed for self or another. Momma always told us what goes around comes around. Sometimes in a physical form but mainly it's long term and big picture and should never be done in hopes of a 'receipt'.

We reap what we sow. Positive actions do not guarantee positive results but I don’t feel like a scumbag when I do the right thing. Most times, doing wrong catches up with you and has I’ll effects. There are always exceptions to the rules it seems
