Do You Believe in Karma? Why or Why Not?

[uptrendfinancialsignal]

For me, I believe in karma because the energy we put out into the world would surely come back to us. So, I try to live my life by this rule as it makes me treat others with kindness and respect. Do you believe in it?

Yes, I’m a firm believer in karma. I even have the word 'Karma' tattooed on me. It’s a guiding principle that I live by.

I always treat others with respect and kindness because that’s how I was raised.

I'm not sure If I believe in karma. I think it's just a way to actually make ourselves feel better when things happen to people. I only believe in "what goes around comes around.

But for me, believing in karma has really motivated me to be a better person and make positive choices too. Even if it's just a mindset, it has really helped me to cultivate empathy for people which is fine by me.

Yes. When I was living my worst, things only got bad.

When I turned my life around, and started helping others, things got better for me.

Anecdotal, of course. But, it has to be karma.

Yes, always seems to catch up to someone, kind of wish it was my superpower to always make it happen.

I personally do not believe in karma. A lot of people do, and I have nothing against it. I just can't fathom it being a real thing.

In my personal experience, it doesn't matter if you do good or bad. Good things happen to really bad people, and bad things happen to really good people. In my opinion, if karma was real, the world would be a lot more balanced. I honestly felt better once I stopped believing in karma, cause every time something bad happened to me, I thought it was something I had done. And yet every time I did any good, nothing changed.

I feel better just knowing the universe is incredibly unfair, and there's no real out worldly system that judges you on what kind of person you are. I am a good person because I want to be. I want to help my fellow man because I know how hard it can be. I have struggled my whole life, but if I had the money to spare I would carry cash, and sometimes buy water bottles, just to give to the homeless around the city I use to live in. I am no longer in that place, and I have struggled for over a year now due to disabilities. But I'm sure I'll make it through somehow.

Karma is just a philosophy I can't personally follow. But if it's something that drives you forward, to be a good person, then hell, keep at it, friend.

I don't think that I am going to feel free with the thoughts of believing in karma. Yes, it is not good to do evil and expect good to come to you, but for anyone to say that they have this mindset that whatever you do, you will see the repercussions is funny to me.
