Karma

I don't think we can control the actions of others at all. Unfortunately what they do does have an impact on a wider base. These people should think before they act.

And how would you define a 'good deed'?

life isn't all about thinking though. You have to go with feelings sometimes. At the end of the day emotions will over ride logical thought, if something feels right you'll go with it rather than if something feels wrong.

I dont believe in karma, it just dont make sense to me

Neither do I, or does it help any to put all your faith on one thing, it's not going to get you anywhere sitting there praying for something while it is right in front of you, you need to push for the extra step and get it done. I am not religious but I do believe there is something, Can't say I follow it but I still believe things happen for a reason and karma.. blah blah but I am not going to depend on it, it's just nice believing in something when you are at rock bottom but it doesn't mean you can't do for yourself. There is so much you can control..

I couldn't agree more and if it was in my power to do so then I'd have done it a long time ago.

Whatever isn't in my power or I am unable to do something then I have ro rely on others and I'm not very good at doing that. I like to do stuff myself. I wish I could've controlled the things that have gone wrong in my life but I couldn't.

So I suck it up, take it on the chin and go another day and see what that holds for me. Hopefully something better than the day before.

All those that know me will tell you that I go out of my way to help others either to feel better or physically if it's within my power to do so.

One day I do know in my heart that things will turn around for me and I will be happy.

All you have to do is think about all the people in the world worse off than you.

People starving. People oppressed. People who would kill for the opportunity to trade places with you.

Living in this country you are automatically better off than more than 2/3's of the world.

In the worse case scenario you will always have a roof over your head and food to eat, purely because you live in Great Britain. Most of the world worry about these things before they can consider happiness.

(I'm not having a go!)

I'm a beleiver in Karma, I really hope that one day you will be very happy, and have all the things you need sazzie.

I was going to say, you think I don't?

I do every day and thank my lucky stars that I have a roof over my head, food in my cupboards and I'm very mentally capable.
I actually has a sister-in-law that fights for life every single day, she has heart and lung failure. She was given a month to live in November (I think) and she's still here

Her and Mickey are my inspiration.

Karma is a stupid idea and so is luck. It cant be proved, seen, touched, tasted or smelt.

But it is so ingrained in our thinking that it is ever present in our evaluation on any given situation.

I LOVE the idea of Karma I love those commercials where someone in the world does something smart and someone does something dumb

I do think what goes around comes around but i cant put that down to actual karma, i mean we all have ups and downs and usually a nasty person will be slapped in the face by thier actions at some point.

I love the idealology of it, that the basic teaching is that whatever we do to another will be repaid, whether its good or bad and its not a bad philosophy to hold in life.

I am only spiritual in the fact that i try to be a good person. Its not that i beleive good things will come to me nor do i think it will secure a place in a cushty afterlife somewhere. But I do beleive anger and hatred WILL make you sick whether it be physically or mentally. Emotion plays a huge part in wellbeing.

However, nobody really knows Whatever floats your boat

There is man made Karma, if you are nice to people they will be nicer back if you are mean they will be meaner back.

I do.

I growled at my daughter unnecessarily and promptly spilled filthy frypan water down my pants and all over the kitchen floor


Actually, there's(a sentence from) an awesome Aussie hip hop track my ex used to play a lot, and what it says rings true to me: Divine intervention is for you to create.

I don't believe in Karma in the religious sense, but like many here to some degree what goes around comes around. Yeah, there are plenty of good people who get f***ed over, but those same people have seen their acts rewarded in simple ways like a returned kindness, or somebody inspired by them and what they represent. And yeah, there are plenty of people who profit over wrongdowing, but eventually or in some way they get theirs, like waking up one day to realize no one actually cares about them, just their money or wanting their power, and would laugh at their eulogy, or if they live by the sword, they really do tend to die by the sword.

Marcus said: "I think it's a very *free* feeling. I'm not encumbered by anything that's totally fabricated out of thin air. I'm not bound by any imaginary forces or powers. I'm my own human being, and I'm in control."

Well said! Letting go of a blind faith is scary for most, but it is indeed quite liberating.
