No. But I believe in the Biblical principle that "You reap what you sow" found in the Book of Galatians 6:7-8: "Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life."
I believe some people punish themselves for their misdeeds, and that can be interpreted as karma in action. However, there are sociopaths among us who feel no empathy for their victims and no guilt for their misdeeds.
I don't believe in a magical force that attends to right and wrong, but sapient agents take right and wrong into account in making their decisions. Screw over enough people and the world might get sick of you.
Yes, as a logical consequence of actions but not as an ironclad rule. Sometimes people do not get what they deserve and sometimes people do get what they don't deserve.
Absolutely 💯 Karma, generally means the idea that actions have consequences, and those consequences can carry forward to shape your future experiences.
Karma is a word that means action or doing. Karma is what makes the world go 'round. Good karma, bad karma, just plain old karma. I have a feeling one of these days some smart boy or girl will decide DNA is what karma looks like.
I don't know. I think like most things, we want to believe we are vindicated and watched over, but sometimes bad things happen and you just have to eat it.
Not really, at least not in any supernatural sense. Sometimes our actions and attitudes DO come back to haunt us, but it's more cause-and-effect. Other than that, karma is just people enjoying random occurrences they perceive as payback.
No. Karma is the excuse we use to others that we think disguises our bias toward that person/team/country etc.
It's the equivalent of 'God moves in mysterious ways' It means nothing but the person who says it gets to incorporate the idea of divine intervention when there's absolutely no evidence of such a thing.
