In a sense. People who abuse other people often get a comeuppance; and those who are thoughtful and considerate often reap some rewards. But I don't believe in some metaphysics such that the score is being kept over reincarnation cycles.
More often I have seen the exact opposite. Abusive's became old and had a peaceful death while the always good, giving and well liked had to suffer and died much too early.
So, no, I don't believe in Karma, but I believe in exceptions to the rules.
I gave some thought to what you said and I think you are talking about life not being fair to everyone. I know life isn't fair but I have seen the Karma I was talking about happen. I had a woman manager that was a total bitch and she got me fired. Well within a year she lost her job too. It came back to bite her and I was happy about it. I have seen good people suffer with illness and financial problems. This isn't fair but people blow it off as life isn't fair. Does this make sense? Hope I am clear. Thanks
Thank you, Lin, I really do appreciate your response and understand your thoughts clearly.
No, I was NOT talking about life not being fair to everyone. Yes, I said what I meant and have many, too many examples for that starting in my early childhood. I was told to believe in Karma, it would help. For several reasons I became irretated, thought about and questioned Karma asking myself am I wrong? I really did not make it easy on me.
I have nothing at all against people who believe in it. If it helps them - wonderful! It just does not work for me. No, I cannot believe in Karma.

Without a doubt.
Karma and I are "involved".
No. I believe in natural laws.

Totally believe in Karma. I have seen it happen to abusive people and good people. What goes around does come around.
