Answer 1

depends on the motivation behind the intention. you could be doing good work for all the wrong reasons.

IE ego stroking

Answer 2

There are four laws of karma:
1. Karma is fixed.
2. Karma increases.
3. Karmic results are only experienced by one who created the cause for that experience.
4. Karmic seeds do not lose their potency of their own accord.

Regarding #2 - both positive and negative karmic results increase in potency unless they are obstructed. Positive results can be obstructed by anger, and other negative actions. Negative results can be obstructed through the directed positive actions of our Dharma practice, the Four Opponent Powers and so forth.
Regarding #4 - 'of their own accord' means that unless we intervene with directed positive Dharma actions to purify and transform negative actions, those actions will never lose potency. They will perpetually have the power to bring us suffering.

The Buddha stated three things which are misunderstandings about karma ---that everything:
1) Is here due to no reason
2) Is the creation of a god
3) Is completely controlled by karma (so it becomes like a fate).
We can go on and on about how people suffer, whether someone is born without an arm or whether one is persecuted during a war or holocaust. I think the misunderstanding is the person who asked you the question is assuming that karma is a fate system. Karma is not a fate system.
Karma plants a seed, and when certain conditions are around, that karmic seed ripens. Your life is not predetermined.
If one assumes any of those "three misunderstandings" the question seems right. If everything is here due to no reason, it would be a very sad that someone is born in a very bad condition. If everything is due to a God's creation, it is horrible that God allowed this to take place and allowed such bad conditions to take place. If everything is a fate system, then we are merely robots who have not much control over the outcome of anything.
But Buddha taught none of these, and karma does not fall into these misunderstandings. The seed for the particular karma was present and was able to ripen under the conditions (such as an unhealthy maternity)... not because it was predetermined!

We carry the karmic seeds of our actions around with us until we transform (purify) them, or until they meet the right causes and conditions to ripen. It is said that most of the karma that we create in this lifetime will ripen in future. We joke about "instant karma" when someone does or says something "bad" and then, almost instantly stubs their toe. It is not impossible for karma to ripen in that way, but also less likely than a ripening result in the distant future.

Answer 3

To a point. Don't confuse laughter with happiness. I can laugh at something even though I'm very upset. Karma rarely occurs instantly not to mention that in some cases their "good reward" may simply be removing negative energy from their karmic load so the scale balances out to zero. Third and final issue, there is no guarantee that positive karma will manifest within this lifetime, it may be "banked" until the next one. There may be some type of lesson that a person needs to learn which has needed negative components to be effective. Remember, no matter how well you may have thought things out, it does not mean that you are correct.

Answer 4

Karma is never good or bad. The word simply means "action". All that we know is that we have done what appears good or bad to us, but we would have to know what the effect of that action is over all of time and space to know if it was actually good or bad. Generally (according to the tradition) all actions are a mixture of both good and bad.

One of the central ideas of Buddhism is to move toward enlightenment and thus remove ourselves from this problem of action (karma). An old Zen story is a clear example.

The master was lecturing and asked two monks to move a screen near the stage. He pointed to one of the monks and said "he is in a good state". He then pointed to the other and said "he is not".

To the ordinary way of thinking, he was saying the second monk was in a bad state. But with time in meditation and with the teachings we learn that there is a middle ground, a state that just is, an easy and blissful state without the extremes of good or bad. This is what the master pointed out in the second monk, to see who would understand his point. This cannot be accomplished intellectually; only through actual personal development.

Answer 5

Funnier people arn't always the ones to make people happy.....infact during hard times people just get irritated by jokes. Karma says that we can make people happy by helping them and giving them some support in life....so I don't really think that funnier people always recieve good things in life, I think it can be anybody with a good soul.

Answer 6

When one does good we are all beneficuries, not just the doer (of the deed). Because we are all interconnected every act affects every single person good and bad.

Answer 7

Maybe, a lot of the time comedians can be offensive.
Otherwise, I'd say yeah, of course.

Answer 8

Yes, I would agree with that

Answer 9

Yes, that's exactly right.

Answer 10

yeah, think so.
