Karma is real,and one of the great things about it is that it does not discriminate.It applies to us all,christians,muslims,hindus,and even atheists.
Newton said it best...."You can't win,you can't break even,and you can't get outta the game.".

All major religions seem to believe in this idea, even if they do call it Karma. It is seen in the idea that if you’re a good person than you will go to a heaven type of area and if you’re bad then you will go to a hell or purgatory type of areas.
But, commonly, it seems, the thought of Karma as a quick payoff seems to follow with it. That if you do something good right now then something good will happen to you in a day, days, or a week. This does not seems to be a 100% rule, in all beliefs, but commonly found in people. This might just be our selfish nature, that we were not truly honorable in doing good or right for good or right’s sake. We act like children around Christmas; on our best behavior for the sake of good presents.
I believe this is the lacking part of Karma most over look. That it needs to be a true a selfless act, then you will get a good reward.
Also, if you look for a reward, even a retaliation for a bad deed, or expect one then you will likely find one. This is the idea that good things come and go also bad things. If your just living you will experience good things and bad things too, just wait around and one will find you. But, does this really come about due to your actions. It might be affected because of it yes. Like a magnet. Would you really want it to work the other way; that if you do bad then you get good? That is the common thought of not being fair.
Simply put, yes I believe. In addition, I also believe that most people on this earth believe too no matter what they call it. And lastly, the rewards of a good action might just take a life time to obtain.

there are various problems with the salvation-by way of works doctrine of reincarnation. First, there are various functional issues. as an occasion: a million. We could desire to ask, why does one get punished for some thing he or she won't be able to bear in mind having performed in a prior existence? 2. If the purpose of karma is to rid humanity of its selfish needs, then why hasn't there been a substantive progression in human nature after all the millennia of reincarnations? 3. If reincarnation and the regulation of karma are so constructive on a life like point, then how do advocates of this doctrine clarify the substantial and ever-worsening social and economic issues - inclusive of prevalent poverty, starvation, affliction, and terrible suffering - in India, the place reincarnation has been systematically taught by way of out its history? There are additionally many biblical problems with believing in reincarnation. as an occasion, in 2 Corinthians 5:8 the apostle Paul states, "we are effective, I say, and can want to be removed from the physique and at homestead with the Lord." At dying, the, the Christian at recent is going into the presence of the Lord, no longer into yet another physique. in line with this. Luke sixteen:19-31 tells us that unbelievers at dying visit a place of suffering, no longer into yet another physique. added, Hebrews 9:27 assures us that "guy is destined to die as quickly as, and after that to stand judgment." each and each individual LIVES as quickly as as a mortal on the earth, DIES as quickly as, and then FACES JUDGMENT. He would not have a 2nd risk by way of reincarnating into yet another physique.

Although I'm not a buddhist, I do believe in 2 major virtues in life, being; Karma and Reincarnation. In many to all, Karma has happened to me and others which is manly the sole reason I believe in it. For instance; one time I got tripped over, the next day the guy that did it was in crutches because he fell down the stairs and fractured his leg. Also, I once pushed some one and the next second, I fell over and sprained my ankle.

She's real. Her ways are mysterious and her where about's are unknown. She's something we will never understand, but something we must all face. She owns the balancing scales of existence and makes sure that they are always in sync with what she calls order. Karma is like the all seeing eye. You'll never exscape from it's clutches.
For every action is a reaction,,,,if you prefer the science of it..

When people do bad things, then it is likely bad things will happen back to them. It isn't karma, its just logic.
Example- Hitler kills millions of jew/gypsies/blacks, so the allies destroy his empire and hunt him like a dog till he commits suicide.
Example 2- Boyfriend cheats on his girlfriend, so she decides to fck the next guy she sees.
Example 3- Person bullies people weaker than him/herself. Eventually, he/she has picked on so many people that nobody will talk to them, and they are friendless.
I don't believe in 'karma', but I believe that the world works logically, meaning that when someone does bad things, it will end badly for them. There is nothing mystical or spiritual about it, as the whole theory of 'karma' would suggest, it is just simple logic.
