Karma is 100% real and just because stuff does not happen with them immediately, doesn't mean nothing will happen.

It is real. Proof: You have been born in this ♥♥♥♥♥♥ place and must live a whole ♥♥♥♥♥♥ life of maybe 80 years. What did you do to deserve that?

Why do you think some people are born so unlucky?

That would make life so easy.. and more predictable, wouldn't it? But then, it wouldn't be a matter of people doing as they will, they would then do out of fear and that is no true choice. For better and many times worse, we can see the mask peel away to reveal what's really there. Karma would keep the mask on.

We have no choice anyway . World is pretty deterministic :P

I used to believe in karma like the concept of pay it forward that bad people usually are their own worst enemies, but I don't anymore. Bad people get away with doing bad things all the time and the "good" people are too self-absorbed to care, or are just gullible and can't see bad people for what they truly are. I find it hard to believe anyone is good anymore.

Otherwise, I don't believe in reincarnation.

Karma is for the weak.

I bet Saddam thought that karma doesn`t work either until he was tangling from the rope.
Or Stalin when he was lying dying in the pool of his own piss in his office because everyone were too afraid to disturb him.

Simply cause you don't have to be good,who said you had to it's a choice everyone makes you are or your're not, the way you were raised can influence your choice, the peoples you hang with and the crap hand you're dealt. It helps to be good when your life is good

Maybe not having bad things happen to the people you want bad things to happen to is karma for you wishing bad things would happen to other people?

If that was how karma worked, then every mass shooter who made national headlines would never face any consequences for their actions, since potentially millions of people would be wishing for them to be put to death or serve life in prison.

No, karma doesn’t work that way. Karma operates under the idea that bad actions lead to negative outcomes on an individual basis. If you do bad things to other people, then bad things will happen to you in the future, and vice-versa. If you cheat in your marriage, then eventually your spouse will find out and divorce you. If you steal a bunch of money from other people, then eventually your wealth will be stripped from you by some external force. The way that your negative karma manifests doesn’t have to directly correlate to the action committed, but it does mean that something negative will come about in your life as a result.

This is assuming that you believe that karma exists, which I frankly don’t. I think that if anything, the philosophy behind good actions leading to positive outcomes is in total opposition to the ways of the natural world. When an animal hunts and kills another of its species and takes their territory, there is no force that punishes that animal for its actions. The fact that in that situation, the victor is more likely to go on to mate and produce offspring, is how ‘survival of the fittest’ came to be a scientific theory, and that concept couldn’t exist in a world that’s governed by karma. Selfishness drives evolution; you are encouraged to win by any means necessary.

Laws, and the justice system, and the belief in karma, are all man-made constructs that are designed to reject humans’ primitive, animalistic instincts. We believe in the notion of ‘good people are rewarded, bad people are punished’ because we’ve developed the ability to apply morality to actions, and we see how establishing a civilization that promotes cooperation and treating one another well, while shunning and excluding those who behave otherwise, leads to mutual benefit for everyone in society. When we learn to get along with each other, we flourish and grow. When we despise and attack one another… well, you can look at the current state of the world to see the outcome.

I think your logic chip is fried. See, mass shooters do something quite heinous to other people. So if you're one who believes in bad karma, something bad will happen to them. If a lot of people wish harm on them, that doesn't necessarily mean they'll be punished for it by harm not coming to that individual. Maybe some other type of karma manifests as punishment to those individuals?

Half of me doesn't agree that they should have bad things happen to them. The other half asks, "Which people are we talking about, here?"

It's a lousy way of going about things, either way. A bastard saved is worth more than a bastard slaughtered, so to speak.
