I pretty much agree with you, Johnny. If karma was actually a real thing, some rapists and murders wouldn't live long, healthy lives without ever getting caught. And good people wouldn't live miserable lives.

If you're hard working, honest, loyal, etc. good things are more likely to happen in return. If you're involved in criminal activity or just a shitty person to people, there's a higher chance of something bad happening to you.

It's an Eastern World spiritual concept. Karma is the kind of fate Hindus and Buddhists believe they get when they reincarnate. Good karma means your next life is better. Bad karma means you come back as a bottom feeder animal, some protozoa, a dung beetle like McFly said, or just a poor downtrodden human. Buudhists believe that if they lead a life in which they achieve enlightenment, they go into the spiritual world and they cycle of reincarnation ends for their souls.

The kind of karma you're referring to is Instant Karma which is gonna get you. Some people don't get positive or negative Instant Karma, but they surelu get it when their souls reincarnate, according to people who believe in that sort of thing.

If that's true then good luck to them trying to get phone support services in their next life

I think we should delve deeper into this subject of a potentially young earth.

Man I wish I could thank in the mobile version of the site. Someone thank this for me.

Despo won't like the TC thing with that attitude. HHM has many friends.

You do realize I never said that, correct? I called out HHM for trolling in a thread about someone's kid passing and said karmas a *****. I didn't come at and imply any ill will on his. I was stating kinda fucked up thing to do and perhaps , maybe, karma will come a knocking and like... Spill coffee on him or something.

Chill out, see you guys at TC.

I think if anyone reviewed the context of your post they would come to the same conclusion:

you think my kids are gonna get killed because i made a wtf comment about your post in a dead kid thread.

It's okay, karma tells me at TC my little girl is gonna punch you in the nuts. Wear a cup.

Next time you talk to karma, can you ask him/her why I haven't been repaid for sponsoring that African kid a few years back? I've been buying lotto tix but.. No luck :(

Thanks broham.

I witnessed instant karma one time. I was on my way home on the toll way and a car in front of me decided that another car wasn't going fast enough and cut him off. So then the driver of car #1 got pissed and sped up to cut off car #2. The they just kept going back and forth. Speeding up, slamming on their brakes, cutting across 3 lanes of traffic...

So this went on for a few miles and i'm just hanging back watching it happen. Then we get to my exit and they both speed up it almost side by side. We'll there's a toll booth at the top of the exit and there just happened to be an accident with about 5 cops cars sitting there as well. The first guy just speeds on through and takes off. The second guy stuck his head out his window, screamed something at the cops and took off after the first car.

I went the opposite direction but i did see e 2 or 3 cops take off after them in my review.

Dumbasses.

I believe in Karma, not as some mystical force or some man in the sky adding up good and bad deeds or some shit, but just as a simple principal of action and reaction.

When you act in a certain way towards people, that usually has a large influence on how they act towards you. Not that complicated.

Also, I believe in karma on a more subconscious level. Such that how you feel about yourself affects how you interact with the world and influences your chances at success in achieving what you want. Imo, the subconscious belief in whether you do or do not deserve something has a major influence on how you go about getting it. Shit like self sabotage and whatnot come to mind.

If you are enough of a ******, or believe you are enough of a ******, imo you are often subconsciously propelled toward misery or destruction or just general dissatisfaction.

You disagree, then you agree? wat?

So, karma.

In the first part, I was talking more so about things that aren't related. For example, there's a great guy that does great things all the time and one day he wins the lottery. Did he win the lottery because he was a great person? No. And if he winds up getting struck by lightning, is it because he did something bad? No.

The second part was more like karma as you described in your post... but the reason why I don't think karma is a real thing is because even though good things are more likely to happen to you if you're positive and always good to others, it's far from guaranteed and there's a ton of good people out there that live miserable lives until they die. Where's their good karma?

Because he wrote the shark a fucking novel that made George RR Martin envious and the shark died of old age trying to read all of it.
