i am so called christian, but i truly believe in karma.....i believe that when i do sth good, good things will return (probably indirectly)...but just don't expect it

i have 1 question to those who believe in Karma...
when you do something bad to yourselves, does something else that is bad will happen to you? or vice versa?

In my case yes. It happen to me either same yrs or next yrs. I cannot run away the bad karma if I done bad thing. It is good that the bad karma not drag too long.

if sth bad happen to me, shall i blame it for the bad karma or the wrong doings that i have done before that?

how if sth good happen to me, shall i praise for the good deed that i did before that lead me to my good karma now?

Huh, sth to ponder here.=)

if sth bad happen to you, it doesn;t mean that you have done bad, maybe someone related to you had and it affected you indirectly

If sth bad happen to you, first look at yourself. What have you done. And don't do it again. Blame yourself first before point at others.

Do you feel good when you done good thing? You already praise yourself.

I do believe that everything happened for a reason. for instance, if something bad happen to you, it could be a small warning to an even bigger problem. It depends very much on the individual's point of view.

Sometimes, these "bad things" that happens to you after you said/did something "bad" to someone else, are all based on your subconcious mind or as people call it conscience.
You feel bad about it and it eats up on you, and when something bad happens, you instantly think it's Karma. And also how you have been taught on how Karma works plays a part in it.

But I do believe in Karma myself, I'd like to believe in it. For the world is insanely unjust and unfair and it's nice to have a hope that perhaps somewhere, there is a fair judge to prosecute those evil bastards

Kamma is real. Beware of your conduct.

Human brains like to pick patterns. It's easy to test this out, think "red" and look around your room. Notice how everything red jumps out at you? it's the same with stuff like this, you expect things to happen to you when you do bad things, so you tend to notice them more. Or you might even unconsciously set yourself up for disaster because you expect it and want it to happen. This is called "self-fulfilling prophecy".

Folks,

Why SO COMPLICATED??

It is VERY SIMPLE. Any system that has MEMORY or SOMETHING to accumulate EFFECT has Karma.

Does a car has Karma?? Does a car REMEMBER how well you treated a car??

If you take care of a car and change oil regularly, it would not have a SERIOUS UNEXPECTED breakdown. If not, the lack of care and maintenance until a point where the car will cause you problem.

This is Karma.

Ditto, on a country level, if country A and B have good relationship, the MEMORY / good Karma accumulated. If country A is in trouble, country B is most likely to help...

And, so on....

Any system that has MEMORY aka capability to store effect has Karma. Culture / history has ability to store Karma across hundred / thousand of years.

This does not even go up to Metaphysical level aka spiritual level yet.

It is VERY SIMPLE. Karma exist for ANY SYSTEM with memory...

Unless of course, you're waiting at a traffic light that's red, and a speeding car hits you from behind

I don't buy it. Good and Evil is based on how you look at it. For example, I find someone doing evil for a greater good isn't wrong. About the cycle, it's actually pretty much natural. The predator who preys on a prey will get eaten by a greater predator. And this greater predator will get eaten by another greater one. This list goes on and on... Kill or be killed, It's the same concept, but I guess you can call it " civilized ".

Psychology,

<<The predator who preys on a prey will get eaten by a greater predator.>>

When a lion is no longer hungry, it will not kill. It only hunt for food.

Now, what do you call a PREDATOR that only hunt for fun?? Killing for the sake of killing. Is it NOT evil??

<<Good and Evil is based on how you look at it.>>

Yes or no. Some kind of good and bad is based on certain POV. Others are just BAD / EVIL.

<<For example, I find someone doing evil for a greater good isn't wrong. >>

Which is just your POV. Or some people believe the END justify the MEAN.

To the EXTREME, the Spanish Conquistador believe that if Indians do not convert but they kill them in the process of forcing them to convert, they are sending them to heaven.

It's just a chained natural reaction of cause/action and effect.

You make a move, you'll change the outcome, regardless good or bad.

So if good things happened to you, cheers. Else, don't blame on 'karma' lol.

i do believe in karma . nt because i have experience it .
just because base on the shape of the earth .
it's sphere . which is similar to round .
some how we do something to others.
is like a circle . it will get back to us no matter how .

人~ 自欺欺人....

believe it or not????

Karma is something to give people order in their life. Something to give them purpose, like the proverbial angel that is whispering in ur ear telling u not to do something bad.

I don't believe in karma.
