Yes! I believe in Karma for example:

I was in the arcade with my friends when I was little and I gave my tickets to some kid who had a disability, his mum and dad gave me a hug and, well I really felt good about myself... I went home smiling, anyway long story short, I won a raffle a week after which got me my first console haha!

So yeah, I can expect comments saying "cool story bro", but I felt as if I needed to share it on this post.


I want you to know that winning the raffle was completely by chance. Maybe, if the act of you buying the ticket had to do with the fact that you just did something nice for someone else, they could be related. Other than that, not at all.

Good guy though.

I don't get why you believe in something that makes no sense though.


I think you flaming my thread is selfish. Nothing makes complete sense. People have their beliefs.


Sorry not trying to flame. I actually don't understand why you'd believe in it. Could you tell me?


From being paranoid and past experiences. If it wasn't real, it's just coincidence that affects me, no doubt.


People are paranoid about monsters under their beds.
Does that mean it's true? No.

These past experiences are all just by chance and you need to understand that.

You're not being affected by any "Supernatural Karma." Only the things that directly relate to each other effect you.

Lecter wrote I think it's actually the opposite of being a good discipline to follow.
If everything moral levels out eventually then what's the point in even trying to be good?
I could murder someone with the thought of, 'Karma will make it all better eventually.'


No... If you commit bad then something bad shall happen to you, if you commit something good then something good etc.


That doesn't erase the original bad thing though.
The only type of 'Karma' [I'm not even sure if it qualifies] that I believe in is natural karma.
Every time there is a mass extinction, the planet just carries on like nothing even happened.
If humans were wiped off the face of the Earth tomorrow, all the damage that we have done to the environment will be corrected, and the planet will carry on like we weren't even here.
That, I see, as a form of natural Karma.

There is no morality involved in it though.

One of the biggest problems that I have with your kind of Karma is that you have to decide who's morality it is working off.
If you grew up during the peak of the Mayan civilisation, you would be fine with sacrificing people to make sure that the Sun rose the next day.
If someone tried to do that today they would be in prison.

There is no universal morality, Karma can't act in accordance with every individual moral code, so how can you ever know if what you're doing is right or wrong?

Your example isn't very good to be honest. The better example would be someone scared in general, nothing specific.

My example was just someone being paranoid about something foolish. Exactly the same as being paranoid about Karma.

You're right. We won't know for sure. There's not much we can actually know in this universe. However, we should try to stick with believing the most logical and rational solutions.

What past experiences bro?
Youre acting like you live in the ghetto.
I believe in karma and morality.
Obviously before you do something you know its right or wrong, and there are consequences with every decision.

I see people saying that Karma doesn't exist because the world is far from balanced. Seriously ? When the universe was in it's earliest stages (at the age of a picto-second infinitesimal in a particular for this example) the balance between matter and anti matter was 1 particle of matter in favour to anti matter, any other difference would have resulted in chaos, yet, with countless near miss examples of things that have shaped the world to the way it is today, people still believe in coincidence ? The greatest lesson I learned from my time in Forensics is that coincidence is the fools way of explaining what he cannot understand
