Is Karma valid?

If Karma is the innate desire to be better,to be bigger, to desire and to grow, and to look at past events as a measure of that, then, yes, karma does exist. But it does not require anything. Nothing is ever required. You are, as you always have been, a being of free choice. (taken from "Conversations with God" by Neale Donald Walsch.)

Let us first draw a distinction between those two concepts which we might refer to as genuine karma and popular karma In genuine karma the actions and motives thereof in a previous life are thought to determine conditions in this one. Since I am largely the sum of my experiences and choices such a idea is evil. That I should be punished or rewarded for actions taken by another is abhorrent. Only an evil deity could endorse such. It is a system invented by the rich and powerful to justify their oppression of the weak and poor and keep millions in near slavery in India Popular karma; what goes around comes around is just palpably false to anyone with open eyes all the best urban

Karma is not called by that name by everyone but I believe in the concept. I believe that what you do comes back to you. If you do bad things they come back painfully--for instance, if you go spread gossip about someone and it causes them to lose their job the same thing might not happen to you but to your child or someone else that you love. Bad comes back worse. The good things won't come back right away but when you least expect them and probably not from the person you helped. I have had both good and bad come back to me. I would never say that someone deserves something bad--or, I try not to!--but when bad things happen you can invite good into your life by helping them. Perhaps that happened to them in order to make you aware that you have obligations to your fellow humans and if you ignore it you might find yourself in the same situation down the road with no one to help.

Though I don't really know that bad karma is something that will follow you through your life and I never think that it is karma when something bad happens to a person. However, I honestly do believe in good karma. I've always been the kind of person that tries to do good for other people. The main reason that I do that is because I feel like it is the right thing to do. However, I also always hope that there might be someone that will help me out if there is a time in my life where I am down on my luck.

I do believe in Karma too. I was cheated by my ex before, and I hope that she deserve her karma one day, to see how it feels to be betrayed, and be treated like dirt. I also be scammed by a friend in business, and I hope that he will deserve what he will get one day. Also I was being betrayal. I wish those karma can be instant, because most of them aren't good people after all.

I have never just looked at someone and said they deserve anything. But I did say it about a few people in my life. And thats because I know or knew the entire story and or history of the person. And believe me, a few of those people truly do deserve it. And I do believe it will come around and bite them in the @ss. I have seen it happen time and again. So I am just waiting. And one of those people just happen to be my evil ex. She deserves everything she gets. As long as my children are safe.

Oh yes savypat! I agree. There is nothing like daring karma to come and take a bite out of your tail than looking upon someone during rough times and saying something like that!

Yes, karma is so valid and I agree that we cannot say that every bad things that happened to people is because of their Karma. We should still help if we are able to help. At least show sympathy to those who are having bad luck. Bad things can happen to them and to us. I believe none of us want people to say "that's your karma" when bad things happen to us.

I don't know about Karma but I believe we reap what we sow. For example; I was the mother from hell when my children were teenagers only to now be put on a pedestal for the things I taught them. Then there are the two grumpy elderly people living on both sides of us. I notice we get far more company at our house. Hmmmmmm!?

Hi. In India, we do believe in Karma and past life. Whatever you go through this life, it is the result of your actions in the past life, whether good or bad. Your karma is decided on how much and what kind of sin you have committed in the past life. If you had done something which would have hurt a lot of people, then you would definitely suffer in this life for that. But the truth lies in understanding this and leading a good life and accepting what happens is because of the sins comitted in the past. And striving not to commit more sins this life, thinking of God and helping others would greatly dissolve your sins and get you a good future in this life itself. This is what I read in a spiritual book and I believe it strongly too. Good day.

I'm not a specialist in karma but I believe that your actions have consequences for you - in this or the next life. I believe also that the map of our life was outlined before. But we can change some things for the good or for the bad and "as we brew so we must drink". Yes, it's better to help others as much as we can. And we can expect the same. Be happy.

What an extra ordinary words you have brother! Here is your plus rating. I have to do good karma for my own emancipation and you have to do good karma for your own emancipation and its human. Stay well
