Answer 1

Answer 2

The bad karma of the past you created for yourself doesn't matter, its in the past and there it will stay so forget about that, but you can work hard on having a good karma from now on, instead of getting angry and blowing up in a temper, count to 10 really slowly and clench you fists as hard as you can, I know this sounds crazy but imagine yourself in a balloon that's floating above the things that are making you angry, breath deeply and exhale slowly, unclench your fists and there you have it, you will feel better the more you do it and think more positive too, people will notice how different you are by how much more you face brightens up and your eyes sparkle, so stay calm and you will have the good karma surrounding you OK, good luck.

Answer 3

You can't get rid of karma you have created in the past, however if you start being a nicer person you will get good karma in the future.

Answer 4

This is the problem with religion- the idea that if we do some good stuff we'll be alright. The fact is that we've all sinned and fallen short of God's standard. Only by trusting in Christ's perfect life and sacrificial death in our place can we truely be changed- because then in God's strength we live to serve him not ourselves, to do good to others and not just seek pleasure for ourselves.

Answer 5

bad karma created by bad deeds will stay but by for it to take effect you need affinity,i.e when you sow a seed you needs soil,sunlight,water and fertilizer[the conditions]for the seed to bear fruit,so by being good you are preventing the conditions for letting the karma to take effect,the best way to is to created as much good karma as possible, by doing more good, to repent means not repeating the same bad deeds,so what is the definition of good and evil,doing anything for your selfish gain is evil,even it is doing charity or being polite, on the other hand being harsh or rude to someone with the intention for the good of the other party is good,if a mother punishes her son,when he had done a mistake, by lecture or spanking, the mother is doing it for the love of her son,that is considered good,so watch your heart,good luck

Answer 8

Of course it will--what goes around truly comes around--if you go around being a jerk and pissing people off, they're going to jump at any chance they have for some small modicum of revenge--when you try to help people, they watch out for you and try to help you--it's not some metaphysical belief thing, it's psychology and human nature

Answer 9

Why not give it a go, you will be a nicer person to know and easier to live with, you might even get to like yourself as well!

Answer 11
