Do you believe what goes around comes around? If karma doesn't come around quickly, do you believe it will come back eventually?

Karma is very real and can hurt or heal   it is nature

No I don't believe in Karma.  It's just foolishness. I know a man who was in a car accident and someone died.  It's been about 3 years since the accident and he (he was old) died a few days ago and some idiot was yelling "yeah karma got him".  No, you retard, it wasn't karma, he was old and he died.  I know people who are evil and vindictive and have lied and done horrible things even causing one person to lose a job and eventually their home.  Nothing bad has happened to this person.  Actually, they are thriving quite well.

Life is life and there are good things and bad things and just because something bad happens it does not mean you done something bad and are being paid back for it.  And just because someone does something bad to you it does not mean this thing called karma will make something bad happen to them.

I do believe that what happens is for a reason.  I think that if someone does something bad to you that they will get what they deserve.

Life don't work that way.  I had someone tell a lie on me and I ended up being fired from my job.  Nothing bad has happened to the person(s) who done it.  It has been several years.  IF something bad happens in the future to this person it is foolish to think that it happened because they told a lie about me.  As I previously mentioned I know someone else who was in a similar situation.  They lost their job because of a complaint that was completely false.  Look around you at all the evil in the world.  If this so called force called karma was real there would not be so much evil because karma would be taking care of them.

Yes, I believe in karma. What goes around comes around. It's not always as quickly as I want though.

Yes and yes! People can't continue to do bad things, or have bad things done to them with out consequences. If the legal system fails, the only justice is Karma

I believe that "karma" is mostly a belief based on confirmation bias (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_bias).... People tend to see or remember what they want to believe regardless of actual causal relationships... This then gets support from others through communal reinforcement: the more people talk about it and share their own confirmation biases, the stronger that belief becomes. There is no logical explanation that would account for karma; it would only make sense if there was some higher power that witnessed human interactions and would then deal either positive effects or negative issues to people depending on their actions.

It does make sense that people that tend to have a negative outlook on life and / or are constantly being hurtful to others may not have as many good opportunities afforded to them because others that have interacted with him won't be as willing to help them out. But that is different than a supernatural force called karma...

Regardless of whether people call it "karma" or not....people get back the rotteness that they decide to give out.   It might not always be right away, but it comes.   It's kind of awesome how it works, unless you're on Karma's list.   ;)

I don't know if it is karma or just how we experience this life. But I do know one thing all of us will one day experience it both. No one is perfect. sometimes we all have bad days, and sometimes we all have good or great days. All I can do is learn from it and move forward!

I do believe that what I do now can affect what will happen to me in the future.  If that is karma - yes
