    Karma, like many false beliefs, has short-term benefits and long-term consequences. The idea that immoral people will face justice is consoling, but this consolation comes with the price of inaction. After all, who is more likely to address the problems that led to a wrongdoing? A person who recognizes that something must change to prevent it from happening again, or a person who feels that the universe will eventually balance out the wrongdoing?

    Well, as I understand it, to a greater or lesser extent we are reaping that which we have sown.

    This is pretty much the Adam in man, or what the Greeks probably interpreted at Pandora's box and Hades.

    What the Hindu's refer to as Karma, the Bible probably refers to in the following way:

    Colossians Chapter 3:25

    But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.

    Matthew 7:12

    Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

    James 4:17

    If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn't do it, it is sin for them.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------

    This is probably because to a greater or lesser extent:

    You suffer from yourselves alone; no one compels you.

    Guru vani

    Bhagavan Sanatkumara, who is Brahma's son, has called inadvertence to be death itself.

    -------------------------------------------------------------

    Karma:

    Samsara ~ Dharma, Artha & Kama = Karma

    Dharma

    Law that "upholds, supports or maintains the regulatory order of the universe".

    Artha

    (Sanskrit: “wealth,” or “property”), in Hinduism, the pursuit of wealth or material advantage,

    Kāma (Sanskrit, Pali; Devanagari: काम) is often translated from Sanskrit as sexual desire, sexual pleasure, sensual gratification, sexual fulfillment, or eros, but can more broadly mean desire, wish, passion, longing, pleasure of the senses, the aesthetic enjoyment of life, affection, or love, without sexual connotations.

    Karma (Sanskrit: कर्म[1] IPA: [ˈkarmə] ( listen); Pali: kamma) in Indian religions is the concept of "action" or "deed", understood as that which causes the entire cycle of cause and effect (i.e., the cycle called saṃsāra). Originating in ancient India, Karma is part of Hindu, Jain, Buddhist and Sikh philosophies.[2]

    Well if you know you are going to be held accountable for every wrong act, and rewarded for every good act,,,,wouldn't that moderate your behavior?

    I mean who wants to come back as a dung beetle

    Myself I prefer relying on the grace of God, and behave because its the right thing to do

    What goes around comes around. It doesn't have to be called karma. It's just a universal principle.
