Is Karma real?

[Blaze163]

I guess now I've given my joke answer, I suppose I should give my serious one. Truth be told, I do believe in Karma. I see it quite often. My life will be turned into complete arse and I'll want to kill everything that ever moved. And then out of the blue Fate will decide to throw me a bone. I'll meet someone new, or I'll finally see a plan through to completion, or even something as simple as a friend giving me a call when I'm feeling down. The whole universe is a matter of balance. In physics, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. And the same is true of life. For every moment of pain we suffer, we get an equal moment of pleasure. The only reason most don't see this is because we focus too much on the pain.

Take my current situation for example. I'm stuck in a job I hate, with bills I can't pay, no girlfriend, and a pretty limited social life. But I know that life can be better than this. I've seen it. I know that if I keep going long enough I'll break through this barricade and I'll find what I search for. I'll meet someone worth dating. I'll get a decent job. I'll pay my bills. I'll live my life.

Karma's out there. You just have to work at it. And never give up faith in yourself. Find the strength inside yourself and you'll find what you seek.

Those words were given to me by someone precious to me years ago. They echo in my mind whenever I feel down. I pass them on to all of you in the hope they help you as they've helped me.

I would say that i don't want to believe in karma but sometimes when you look at how things progress there is no other word to describe it but karma. Here's an example (relevance may differ), when i was in school i had a best friend (of course) and he was the opposite of me (that i think is why we were best friends). What we had in common that fueled our friendship was our love for games and our keen common sense (we would always come to the same conclusion after analyzing a situation). Him being kind-hearted, gentle and well just the average "good guy" and me being the the opposite of that (i'll leave it to you to find the antonyms). As time went on at this point in life i can now say that karma had some part to play. I did crap for my exams, ended up wasting time home for 2 years and my luck with, socially with others (others being girls) significantly decreased. While my friend ended up going to University along with his girl-friend and just, all in all, happy. From this i can determine that if you do good things good things will come to you, vice versa, with bad things.

A child is born, it is abused by its mother and father. No one knows about the abuse, and eventually the child commits suicide in its early teens. The parents enjoy the extra free time they now have and lead long and happy lives.

You could go further by saying the child will go to heaven and the parents will spend eternity in Hell. But that's subject to personal beliefs.

Sony is the prime definition of getting karma in life right now. They were egotistical punks for 10 years and got slapped in the face by the gaming business and consumers, as well as hackers for taking people to court over homebrew.

is that a fist-bump in text form? awesome

I believe that the if people think you are doing good you will generally get good back but not whether or not they are actually doing good doesn't matter.

it isnt real although if your a dick people will kick your ass

it isnt real although if your a dick people will kick your ass

About what i was going to say. Karma in my mind doesn't exist as a natural opposing reaction that will just spontaneously arise. Like if you kick kittens, i don't think an earthquake will arise to punish you. Nor do i think a magical fairy will bring you beer if you donate money to the homeless. I do however believe that if you fuck with someone and make it clear it's you, you can expect to possibly get your ass kicked.

that's not karma, that's cause & effect

I've seen too much to fully believe in karma, but I still try to live as if it exists.

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I think that karma was man made, but still exists. Because if you believe in karma, when you do something good it gives you a positive attitude in looking forward to something in the future. When you have that positive attitude people want to be around that.

When you believe in karma and do something bad, you go on in fear that something bad will happen to you. and sometimes isolate yourself and miss out.

No, otherwise there would be a lot of people in hospital or homeless that are from my school right now.

Hell is a Christian invention. I'm Jewish.

 

[earny]

I already watch all "My name is Earl" episodes so I believe Karma is real

 

[Deleted member 473940]

I want to believe that it exists.. I have done less bad to people compared to how much shit they have done to me

.

 

[klim28]

I believe it. For me is an unknown force. lol but yeah I believe it.

 

[Hi everyone]

I did crap for my exams, ended up wasting time home for 2 years and my luck with, socially with others (others being girls) significantly decreased. While my friend ended up going to University along with his girl-friend and just, all in all, happy.

or, y'know, because he studied for his exams and you didn't.

 

[Waflix]

I agree with TheDarkSeed. It's just like a falling star. If you wish something, and believe that it actually will happen because of that star, you will try harder to do so. You want to believe it, and you try to make it happen so you believe in it next time.
My mother says that I was born because of a falling star.

 

[Shiro09]

No
