Yes I do believe in karma. What goes around comes around. Whether it’s something tiny or huge you always have to pay a consequence.

I do believe in karma because when you do something wrong, it always comes back at you. When you do something wrong, no matter what, you always have a consequence from what you did. Even if what you did wrong was a big problem, or a small problem, what comes around goes around.

Yes, I do believe in karma because everything you do in life will come back and make you happy or haunt you. Karma can be both positive and negative..It can make you happy, but also haunt you at the same time. The basic definition for karma is, "For every event that occurs, there will follow another event whose existence was caused by the first, and this second event will be pleasant or unpleasant according as its cause was skillful or unskillful." This means that for every time an event occurs, the second one will either be a good thing or a bad thing based on your actions. You'll always have a consequence for your actions. For example, if you are generous to someone you do or don't know, something good will be headed your way to reward you.Therefore, karma I believe in karma because there are always consequences for your actions, no matter if they are good or bad.

Well, they (don't ask me who "they is) say that theres good karma, and then theres bad karma. To me, it seems like theres only one kind. Bad. I mean really, if you kill someone, you get arrested. So sure, you could call it karma, or getting what one deserves. Donate to charity, and before you know it your having financial troubles and the money you donated really would have helped. Adopt a stray, before you know it it has rabies and you have to put it down. Witness a murder and report it, before you know it your a suspect. But, even if you DIDN'T report it you'd still be a suspect. I guess what I'm trying to say is that to me it seems karma is pretty one sided. Please excuse my negative outlook on life.

I do not belive in karma because its really just the consequence. People do dumb things, and they don't think of the outcomes. They don't think what might actually happen to them after the situation. It is not karma, just simply getting what you deserve.

I believe in karma because it happened to me one time and I'll never forget it. It happened not too long ago. I kept making fun of my brother because he broke his phone so I would always say jokes to make him feel bad. But then one day I left my keys in the house and my parents were not home. So I had to wait outside until they reached home from the mall. So I told my brother that he and I should go walk around in the woods and for the first time EVER, he listened to me. Then, my parents came home and when we came out of the woods, I lost my phone. From that experience, I know that karma is real.

Of course theres karma. The best way to describe it is, "for every action there is and equal reaction." if I hurt someone, of course I'm going to punished, but if I help someone, I'm going to be rewarded. We only notice the bad karma because we know its coming, and its bigger, you do something bad, it comes back three times. We dont notice the good because we dont connect the good deed with the good event.
Karma's just a way to keep things in balance.

I don't believe in karma because there is nothing tangible to enforce it. No man or woman knows every good or bad thing that happens and does a good or bad thing to the person who did it. Things that happen that are "karma" are just coincidense. Therefore, there is nothing that enforces karma, its just unrelated coincidenses.

I personally do not believe in karma because I know a cruel person that was not "taught a lesson". Tom, a student at my old school, is pretty rude. He always interrupts me, and he always treats people like dirt. To this very day, nothing seriously bad ever happened to him, so I am not convinced that karma is a real thing.

I do not believe in karma because I have seen many people do things that they are not supposed to be doing and nothing ever happened to them. Therefore I do not believe in karma.

I do believe in karma because if you do something bad to someone, you deserve to get punished. This is because if you hurt someone and/or something. Or if you do something good for someone, you will be rewarded. This stuff always happens in our world today. Therefore, since you get punished/in trouble for something you did, karma is real.

Of course theirs karma. It’s a way to keep things in order. If you harm someone for no apparent reason later in the day or week you might walk into something or trip. There is no one you can blame, because no one made you walk into whatever you walked into or made you trip. It’s how the universe gets even with you, just like Newton’s 3rd law “for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.”

I believe in Karma because its a way for the world to get back at you for something bad that you did. Karma's gotten back at me many times for things that I've did to other people. Later on in life things similar to the things I've done happen to me which isn't that great because in the end you realize that what you did to the person is bad and you hate it when it happens to you.

I do not believe in karma. i do not believe in karma because it seems unreasonable.To me karma is all in the head. Therefore i do not believe in karma because i think it is decided by what people think.

I don't believe in karma because there is no way to prove it. Karma is just a coincidence and is just made up by humans to explain why something happened to them. Therefore I don't believe in karma because it is made up by humans and it can't be proved.

I do not believe in karma because there is no way to prove it. No one knows for sure that karma exists and it could easily be a coincidence. At some point in everyones life they will do things that are wrong and bad things will happen. Therefore since there are no facts proving karma is real I don't believe in it.

This is actually a very good topic to have a blog post on. But back to karma, yes I do believe in karma, because I think everyone has got karma. And I do believe karma is a fair thing because if you do something wrong you deserve to get some kind of punishment back on yourself.
