Yeah, i appreciate that
I'm just questioning in more detail.
Thanks

Don't believe in it. Doesn't make sense to me :/

Stormymystic · 08-14-2004, 10:13 AM

I belive in it

shadowhound · 08-15-2004, 05:31 AM

Nope don't believe in it, I firmly believe that things happen because of no real reason. No karma, No person sitting up in the heavens that will shake theur finger at us for doing burnouts in front of the church, just wonderful chaos.

I believe that it should happen.Just hasn't happened for some people yet. But eventually... [img]graemlins/evillaughter1.gif[/img]
Karma probably takes years to happen so belive in it or don't, just face it that you have to face the consequences of your actions the next day.

Karma is one of those things I'm always confused about. On the one hand, I can understand Paladin2000's interpretion of it. Wherein there is no religion or "entity" involved, but more it is an action/consequence kind of thing. In other words, if you live your life saying or doing things that hurt others, most likely you will get it back in some form.

Then there is the Karma where it kind of sounds like some sort of religion and/or "entity" is involved, i.e., if you do something wrong, and affect someone's life in a negative way, you will get it back, but it could be at any time and in any form.

So I dunno, but no doubt Paladin2000's description of Karma is the most logical one. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I do believe in karma. What goes around, comes around. Basically you get what you deserve.

That's how I see it. Karma religion-wise, not really because they have this certain element that is not really fit to my OWN set of beliefs (I am Catholic, but this doesn't affect my beliefs). [img]smile.gif[/img]

Yes I wholeheartedly believe in Karma. That's why I'm still here. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Edit: I believe Karmas can be 'good' or 'bad'. Quotes there because its really just cause and effect. 'Good' and 'bad' are subjective terms yet necessary for human understanding. Karmas imo includes strong desire, needs, wants, etc. This also brings us back. In fact, there are some that don't need to come back, yet do so out of a choice. A choice to help teach others. And some of these entities are called trancendental beings. They have no need to come back to fulfill karma. Yet they do so to help.

Id like to believe that was "goes around, comes around", but too many people get away what we could regard as 'evil' actions. That's probably why some people think that karma carries on to the next life and eventually get's you.
