Please prove to me it exist. I will point out to you that the many nazi's got away with their crimes as well as Pol Pot, Idi Amin, etc. What is this cosmic justice system that tries to fix a wrong? Or is karma prejudice against some and preferable towards others? Also think of slavery against anyone in history and the inhumanity's in this country.

Too true my friend. Karma doesn't exist in the traditional sense, good people suffer and bad people get away with anything and frequently get rewarded for it (like the rapist who won the lottery during his time in prison and was still allowed the money).

Karma is the simple fact that your actions (verbal, mental and physical) have an effect on *your* mind.
You want proof that it exists? Do this; think and act about hate and anger for a couple weeks. You will become miserable and the people around you will become miserable.
There is no "cosmic justice system". Like I said, karma is a way of understanding *your minds* relationship to the world.

Perhaps you overlook many subtleties. Karma is subtle. Also it is not a reward system. It is a natural result of action. Karma is neither good nor bad.

I am . Right here ;).
On more serious note:
"The law of Karma postulates that in this world there are no rewards or punishments; it is simply a case of inevitable consequences. As you sow, so shall you reap. Sometimes others reap what you have sown. There is an interlinking and inter-connection all round and at every level, in time and in space. No one lives, or can possibly live, in isolation. The past is linked to the future, the world to the next, men to their fellow-men, thoughts to actions, actions to reactions, the living spirits to the departed ones. The law of karma governs all."
(source: India's Priceless Heritage - By Nani A. Palkhivala 1980 p. 32-33).
To quote in the words of Sir. S. Radhakrishnan, philosopher, and former president of India:
“The cards in the game of life are given to us, we do not select them. They are traced to our past karma, but we can call as we please, lead what suit we will, and as we play, we gain or loose. And there is freedom.”
We must also be very careful about our thoughts, because thoughts create, and thoughts also make karmas, good, bad and mixed.
According to Hinduism, the soul continues this journey with a heavy load of Karmas, (good or bad) until it exhausts all Karmas by undergoing pain or pleasure sensations in the body. Then the individual soul, will merge with the Absolute Soul or infinite power. This merging process is known as Salvation.
God does not punish us. God created man near to perfection and has given him the free will to decide whatever he wants. There is no such thing as being cursed. Hindus believe even God is bound by the law of Karma once He takes human form. Lord Krishna was killed by a hunter. He was obeying the law of Karma, the unwritten law of the Universe.
Karma is a very just law, too, as it is equal in repayment. Karma, like gravity, treats everyone the same. Karma is a rational explanation for inequalities among human beings which cannot be given. The possibility of rebirth makes death more acceptable.
Reincarnation is interlinked with karma: successive lives afford the requisite scope in which the law of karma operates. It is the natural way the soul evolves from immaturity to spiritual illumination. When all the lessons are worked out and all the lessons of life are learnt, one attains enlightenment and moksha (liberation). This means you will exist, but will no longer be pulled back to be born in a physical body.
Moksha means freedom from the cycle of birth and death. The ultimate goal of Hindu religious life is to attain freedom from the cycle of birth and death, or union with God. This union is achieved through true knowledge (jnana), devotion (bhakti), or right work (karma). Purity, self-control, truthfulness, non-violence, and compassion toward all forms of life are the necessary prerequisites for any spiritual path in Hinduism. There is no concept of Savior. You have to free yourself by your own effort. No savior can help you achieve God realization without your personal effort.
I do not need to prove it to you and I wont bother. Everbody has his own way to bare the disparities of life. Law of Karma gives some of us a moral boost to bare it. Thats enough for us.

I've had many coincidences that made me wonder if karma might be real. But, like everything else, I'm not going to believe it until I see proof.

I don't believe in believing. But isn't it karma that we each have to live in the world we create through our actions and attitudes?

I wouldn't stake my life on it, but I believe in Karma as a hope that good will happen to those who do good.

I do, Religiously speaking they call it karma
Scientifically, its the law of Physics: for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Its the law of nature
Are you sure they got away with it?
