I don't know. people have done me very wrong in the past, and I haven't noticed anything really done wrong the same on them-at least not yet. But also people have done me very wrong in the past and I've seen the same things happen to them, and it seem like it made them change. however, it doesn't seem like what goes around ALWAYS comes around.

Yes I believe in Karma, its the law of the universe, but I guess just like everything else it works mysteriously.I guess it works in the end because true good Karma is the attainment of Nirvanha(heaven in Hindi) which can only happen when someone dies

Yes I do believe that what goes around comes around. I just don't always call it Karma. You don't know how anyone feels, and if you think you do, you have no idea what will happen to them tomorrow and at the end of their life!
I am old enough to tell you that what people give is what they often receive in the end. It just takes awhile some times. Do not envy them in any way nor seek to be like them or you will lose your own self-respect and that will hurt more than anything "they" could have done to you!! Rise Above It!! Success is the Best Revenge!! Those are my cliches. And they're so true. @8-)Good Luck, Honey!

Karma is a sum of all that an individual has done, is currently doing and will do. The results or "fruits" of actions are called karma-phala. Karma is not about retribution, vengeance, punishment or reward, karma simply deals with what is. The effects of all deeds actively create past, present and future experiences, thus making one responsible for one's own life, and the pain and joy it brings to others. In religions that incorporate reincarnation, karma extends through one's present life and all past and future lives as well. It is cumulative.
This is believable, as described. The mistake is in believing that the outcome of Karma is "just" in any sense that human beings would recognize. Too many bad things happen to good people. Karma can only be seen as "just" in the context of re-incarnation where things work out over a very long period of time and many incarnations.

No, I don't believe in Karma.
I'm also willing to bet the people that say they do, actually don't are looking for a graceful way to jump off that runaway locomotive.
I believe in justice, though. I also believe you don't get away with anything in this life. It's just that different sentences take longer for some evil people than others, but the punishment usually fits the evil.
That's why I have no faith in human government. They only know how to either play along, or muck it up beyond description.
I never met anybody who got away with anything. You always pay the full tab. If it doesn't seem that way it's because you'd have to spend your life watching. You're human. You can't do that. It's very subtle, then hits, seemingly, out of the clear blue.
Most of the time, most aren't even aware of when it happens!

In certain aspects, I believe in Karma. The reason is it makes sense.
If you practice something that has good consciense and moral and ethical, good things will come. It is a relative general sense. Here are some examples.
Fishermen who has been doing massive overfishing and damages to the fish habitat ends up catching fewer and fewer fish. And their livelihood is getting gloomy. Fisherman who practice sustainable catching is continue to have a stable and good catches.
People who drives recklessly will prompt other people to drive recklessly also.
It is like a cause and effects. You action will have certain impact to others and vice versa.
You have to also note that the effect of Karma very much likely to take time. There isn't instantaneous turn around.

without a doubt karma is out there.
even though we may not see the evidence it surely does exist. i believe it is our own natural pull that does this.
I must admit i was not much a believer of anything but as i got older and expearienced certain events did i start thinking differently.
Here is a brief example of karma working.
last year my son's car was totalled, later he found out his girlfriends brother did it. My son was chattered of the loss of his new car and a family that he thought would of always been there. We tried to get some of the money that was lost but failed. We were also told that if there son had gotten hurt we would of been sued.
One year later the son kills a young defenseless man and now is up for jail, i hope. The family of the deceased boy is now sueing them. The daughter, my son's gf who did not stick up for him but her brother, smoked out the intire house with a candle that was left burning.
this is just one story i have relating to karma
its in you to believe

Yea, I definitely do. Like in the song by Earth, Wind, & Fire, when they sing: "To be whole, to your soul, is ecstasy". So, when a person does wrong to others, it affects them, just as the wrongs done to that person affected them. Then, to try to make heartfelt amends for wrongs done. (I also believe most, if not all?, wrongs are done unconsciously, but when they move into consciousness, to repair them, rather than try to cling to false power and pride).
I've tried to go it alone a lot, but it's wonderful to receive help, and then to try to be a positive force in return.

of course, its all one giant circle. the people that have done you wrong, probably have been paid back, but you dont know. people react to things differently. the best way to deal with karma is treat people how you want to be treated. think about it, who is mean to that super nice girl/guy in school(i am guessing you are in school) the answer is no one. be how you would like to be treated and good things will come

I don't beleive that karma is a force, and that what goes around comes around.
However, I do belive that if you live your life doing positive things, you will feel positive inside, and if you live a life doing negative things, you are more likely to feel negatively.

Yes, if you do good karma you will get good, but if do bad karma, you will bad. for example say if save your money in bank than they will give you money from your account, if you done something wrong in past life you get back in this life, if you do good karma in this present life you will get good in next life but sometime in this life as well
