Would people be more moral if karma happened faster?

Question

I asked this question before, but in a different form, so I would get better answers. What if karma happened exactly after what you did, so you knew why you were being punished or rewarded? Would you be more mindful of your actions, or not? For example, right after cutting someone off in traffic, your car would break down. Right after cussing someone out, you would fall in a mud puddle. You would think twice about doing those things again, wouldn't you?

Answer 1

Yeah that helps correct immediate behavior...like a nice slap on wrist from god. Unfortunately morality doesn't work that way, and its not always clear that something you did which may appear bad at the time, might actually not be that bad.

Answer 2

I don't think so. I think it would have to be later, so that other things aren't going on to distract the person, so that that person actually has something to think about. And it would have to be a significant Karma. ie. after you cut someone off, a day or two later, you get cut off. But you car ends up getting wrecked in the process. Or if you cuss someone out, the following week someone puts you in your place for being an ***...and hopefully the swelling goes down in a couple of weeks. And karma would have to hit more than once just to get the point across.

Trust me, it smartened me up.

Answer 3

When Karma was happened directly in first instance peaple would learn from it and think twice before doing something. But there is always a reason to do something bad and if Karma hit's you directly then peaple just won't dear to take much of their life anymore. Then Karma does everything to you except learning you something.
If Karma was like that, then Karma should be punished!

Answer 4

sometimes it does happen fast. for instance i was getting off the bus and i rolled my eyes at some girl who was staring me down. and as soon as i got off the bus a tree branch caught hold of my head scarf and took it right off in front of everybody on this crowded street. i can't begin to explain to you what my hair looked like under this scarf. i had to pick it up off of the ground and tie it back on while people watched. i was soooo embarrassed. I believe that it happened because i did that. I don't ride the bus anymore thank god, but i've learned to not let things get to me. I have always believed in karma. I believe that the worst crimes get you a greater punishment. THe Bible says that the punishment will come back sevenfold and that is so true because i have seen it happen to someone. You think that some people would learn but some just don't.

Answer 5

That wouldn`t change anything.
It may seem strange to you but I think that the majority of people wouldn`t be able to realize the connection between what they did and the punishment, even if it is obvious.
We are surrounded by obvious things that people just do not accept, like the ancient people who weren`t able to see the link between sex and pregnancy.
Or, nowadays, everybody knows that drugs are bad, but many people still take drugs.
Or, it may be perfectly logical that we are not alone a vast universe, but the majority of people don`t believe in alien life.

And what if karma already happens faster but no one notices that? Have you ever thought about this for example?

Good Day;)

Answer 6

it may in specific circumstances. i comprehend i gets some thumbs down for this and specific be mentioned as a liar yet oh nicely. My house became robbed as quickly as and the police had no leads as to any suspects and outright advised me to not assume something. I did a spell inquiring for karma to rapidly take action against the guy who violated my homestead. some days later I not basically found out who robbed me, yet that they have got been additionally robbed basically a pair days once I did my spell. Now, would desire to or not it somewhat is twist of fate? specific, it might desire to, yet...it somewhat is one extensive twist of fate. The police never did parent it out. i found out from a school project better half mine that it became his brother that did it. i assume he scoped the region while he dropped off my better half at my place at some point. My better half had got here across that his brother unexpectedly had funds after supposedly pawning some dvds...I had lots of dvds stolen and the brother did not actually have a participant. The thief became robbed of classic records, a guitar and a few different issues. i don't comprehend approximately you, yet I unquestionably felt karma worked then. ;)

Answer 7

The things you mention are shown to us immediately because our "environment is but our looking glass." The flaw that upsets me in others is always but a reflection of my own flaw. The more aware one is of the truth of karma the quicker it comes back. When one tries to correct the flaw in others they step through alices looking glass and every thing becomes distorted.

Answer 8

Karma is what you make of it.
Its called karma cause it hits you when you least expect it. It suppose to teach you something and make you remember of the mistakes you made.
If something happened right after your faulty actions then we wouldn't call it karma, we would call it bad luck. Bad luck doesnt make you change.
Karma happens and its worse when it comes back to you.

Answer 9

I think so.

When you shock a rat immediately after he does something, he doesn't do it again. The connection between action and consequence is made faster.

Answer 10

I totally agree. What a great concept. Some of those paybacks would be hilarious to witness, although, I would hate it to happen to me.
