Are there any exceptions when it comes to karma??I would really like people with personal experience to answer

Question

I have experienced firsthand what i've done to someone else come back to me but not always.So why is that?Why sometimes and not others?And why when i was with my first boyfriend did he cheat on me when i never did anything like that to anyone else at the time?So why did it happen??What are your personal experiences when it comes to this and what did you take out of it?Why do you think some things come around but not all?

Answer 1

My personal experiences with karma haven't been all that wonderful. Personally, I try and live life as a good person, helping people out as much as I can- and treating people very well, being selfless and loving- and unfortunately, if karma is a real thing, the next part of my life is going to be very well because the 27 years that I have been alive, i wouldnt consider myself a very "lucky" person. seems that i deserve so much more out of life then i have been getting. if i knew that karma was a real thing for myself, then i think id be ok- it just seems that i try to do good all the time, and good doesnt always come back to me. maybe i just havent gotten my "big break" with karma- maybe karma is waiting for a time when I really need it. hopefully soon, because i am starting to feel kind of hopeless with my life.

Answer 2

I've experienced karma or the what goes around comes around experience many times . I've also been cheated on and didn't do that myself . In those instances the other person is initiating the karma and not yourself . You will find someone more compatible while the other person will at some point have the tables turn on them and have a bad experience of some type though not necessarily the same one you were caused to experience . Often times people who do bad things on a regular basis have it build to a cresendo until things come crashing down on them all at once , sort of like a collective build up of bad karma . I don't see a particular time line pattern for karma but do believe eventually bad things happen to people who initiate bad behavior . While those on the receiveing end will later have something good happen as a result of the bad karma of someone else unleashed on them . For instance , my ex wife cheated on me numerous times with a variety of men and we divorced . Had that not happened I would have missed out on the love of my life which has been a long lasting happy marriage . I feel all things come back around at some point either in singular fashion or a buildup and resultant crushing blow of what we refer to as karma and that no set time line is established for this . I'm no saint but make an effort to be a nice person but I've made my share of mistakes in life also . I currently suffer from advanced emphysema brought on by careless smoking . I don't feel sorry for myself or expect sympathy from anyone , I sometimes wonder if we are on a pay as you go plan where sins are involved . Perhaps by paying such a price here on earth in the here and now , hopefully upon my death I'll be obsolved and permitted into heaven because of the heavy price I've previously paid already for any sins committed. I hope I've made some sense of this and it's just a personnal opinion that seems to have some logic to me .

Answer 3

Things happen. Including accidents and not really understanding a person when we start up with him or her.

Then most of us create a narrative to hang all of these events together. (Listen to the way that people talk through a situation afterwards, sometimes to the point of reinventing it.) There's a lot in our lives over which we don't have much control, or don't realize and utilize the influence we do have, so we often get anxious about that. Prayer, seeking explanations via karma etc., even trying to dress to get a date or impress on a job, these are just some of the ways we try to assert a sense of control over a complex and multi-faceted situation.

Some schools of Buddhism put especial emphasis on seeing through the illusion of karma. Moving away from giving me-centered reasons to all happenings is one step in this process.

Your first boyfriend cheated on you largely for reasons that are about him. Probably you just didn't pick up on signs beforehand (he was your first after all). Some people, for all sorts of reasons good and bad, do tend to be targets (I used to get it in part because I always stop to consider before I answer, excellent for getting it right, absolutely lousy for 'winning' an argument). If that's the case with you, or anyone else reading this, then learn to observe your patterns and find more effective ways of dealing with life.

That's what's really behind this idea of karma.

Answer 4

Two answers, both true but a bit of a paradox..... the one is that karma sometimes takes many decades of lifetimes to ripen. Nothing that the broadcaster Jill Dando did in this lifetime accounts for her being murdered. Nothing that the 2-year old James Bulger did in that lifetime accounted for his brutal murder. But in a previous life he was a nasty murderer called jaime Bolger. I also know of someone who was a Viking pirate c850AD and was catching up in the 1990s with the effects of a relationship he had with a certain woman then.

Second answer. The law of love is higher even than the law of karma. Love God and your Guru deeply and some of your karma will be lifted. Like when Christ said "your sins are forgiven you", He (the God within Him) was taking off some of that devotee's karma.

Answer 5

Everyone experiences Karma whether they know it or not. It doesn't exactly match. For instance, your boyfriend cheated on you because you picked a cheating man. Maybe you didn't DESERVE a cheating man, but that's who you picked, so it came back to bite you. Now you control your destiny by how you choose to react to it. If you retaliate, you'll be punished because two wrongs don't make a right. If you stay true to yourself and just move on, and stay away from bad men, you'll be rewarded eventually.

Answer 6

Our karma experiences are not "tit for tat", but based on what we might call our spiritual learning curve. It may be that we do not like or understand why these things "suddenly" appear, but they are based on a long history that predates you in this life, and therefore may be "hidden" inside you, and they are directly related to what you need to grow into in order to advance your own path as you actually generate new (and more positive) karma for your future lives.

Answer 7

I agree with everything you said. I do believe what goes around comes around. If someone is putting negative energy out there they are just going to attract more of it. As for a real life example, an ex of mine was trashing me (even though I got him a good deal on a car) and guess what? He drove it into a tree!

Answer 8

sometime you have something bad happen to you to teach you a lesson and sometimes you don't learn it right so it happens again. sometimes it is someone else that you are being a pawn in their process of learning and you are the part of the process. close your eyes and float in your mind and ask about the big picture and maybe your the teacher or the part of the puzzle. take a step back and look. maybe i am a small part of your puzzle in life, a drop in the bucket of life

Answer 9

I reject karma, I could easily list 100 individuals that have not suffered it, people that have used & abused everyone they had a chance to with zero retribution, karma is a lie.

Answer 10

When someone spreads out negative attitude it gives other people permission to do also. So Karma???? There is no karma there is just backstabbers, liars, and cheaters all over and their one philosophy is to get revenge.
