Yes, I believe Karma exists. That's why we all die.I was swimming in the Great Barrier Reef
Animals were hiding behind the Coral
Except for little Turtle
I could swear he's trying to talk to me

Nope, I don't believe it.
I think it's easy to believe it, if you forget about children who die soon after they are born or any of other various incidents where karma seems to be absent.
Hitler for example, killed what 6 million jews, in exchange for his life. Hardly seems fair.
If you kick someone in the leg and they punch you in the face, is that karma or reciprocal aggression?
Likewise, reciprocal altruism can explain good incidents of karma, so-called, while providing an explanation as to why it's absent in other cases.I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny. Your nature is to do harm, mine is to love truth, and to make it public in spite of you. - Voltaire0 -
I was hurrying to the beans aisle in my local supermarket the other day, and some fat fucker pushed me flying out of the way, and bought the entire store's worth. I cried.
On the way out of the doors, that man's legs fell off and he spontaneously combusted. Nobody wanted to claim all the beans tins, so I made a makeshift crate out of his charred ribcage and carried the lot home. Not needing the rib bones myself (as a devout Buddhist this week), I gave them to some starving local dogs, and later cooked myself some lovely beans for dinner. How could I not believe in karma?0 -

doesn't it feel good inside yourself to help someone/animal/a life
to put out some quality energy into the universe
or to do a good thing, like pick up some a-holes litter they threw on a beach
where you are walking enjoying the day-your day-everyones day
to me, good karma is about forgiveness and not hating
we are all connected, as in, all life is woven togetherfor poetry through the ceiling. ISBN: 1 4241 8840 7

Don't believe in Karma or anything like that.
But you've got far better chances of good things happening if you treat other people well.
Or at least of getting help and support if shit happens.0 -

you have a good point...These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.0 -
She stole my karma, oh no!'We're learning songs for baby Jesus' birthday. His mum and dad were Merry and Joseph. He had a bed made of clay and the three kings bought him Gold, Frankenstein and Merv as presents.'

No - not at all. Neither Karma nor Fate...
Homo faber sui... as they used to say, or in English 'man is master of his own destiny', life is what you make it, etc etc.
Besides, virtue is its own reward, so you shouldn't do good or treat people well in expectation of a reward in the future.0 -
Yes!! in fact, my karma ran over your dogma!!So I'll just lie down and wait for the dream

The lonlier I am the more I think about karma. Example when I lived in Seattle I would think Why, why, why did I move here?! There must be an undercurrent of something that pulled me here. It held me back from taking action, though, like I resigned myself to a bad situation.
If all is good, I don't think much about it. I believe in it, though.There is no such thing as leftover pizza. There is now pizza and later pizza. - anonymous
