Bad things still happen to good people. It is just a matter of time before something good happens. The only time I see this phrase being true is in the you scratch my back I scratch yours. If you help someone out they are more likely to help you back if they are able. The same goes if you are a jerk. Comparing unrelated events as what goes around comes around is just stretching it a little too far.

Looking at it from a religious point of view the Bible does say you will reap what you sow.
But besides that, it's nature. You can't do something wrong and not expect to bear the consequences or even something right.
It may be years later or sometimes to even a later descendant, but it will not be escaped.
You can try it and find out
As for me, happens a lot, both ways good and bad....lol thats why I try to do more good.

I think it is true. Karma. My mother-in-law had this iron roaster with iron lid. We were talking about someone who had been badly burned. She said there was Bible scripture you could quote immediately after a bad burn and the burn would disappear as soon as you spoke the scripture. I kinda ha-ha this notion and said no way. The same day she gave me the iron roaster she never used. Guess what happened the first time I used it? Yep, I got burned.

Nope, not true - just a stupid myth. If you don't believe me look at all the rich jerks who are born and die swimming in money, having spent their lives getting more of it by making the less fortunate suffer.
No justice, no karma. It sucks but that's the way it is.

It's called Karma and I have seen it happen to others who have not treated some one right. When they did some thing bad to a person so that it hurt them, this person had some thing similar happen right back to them and it came back worse. I took about a year but it did come back. Really sad when people hurt others.
It never happened to me. So No!

Because there is a thing called Karma by the grace of the spirits when you think your the only one that knows what your doing and why and others feel the pinch as a result of it, what you do expect it to be done to you.

The universe is like a mirror. What ever you send out to it will be reflected right back at you.
This is by design, it is the way that we learn how our actions feel to others.

The Bible says, you will reap what you sow - so yes, what goes around, comes around!! It has not happened to me, but I have seen it happen to others - and it is not a pretty sight. God Bless You!!!

Yes. I gave an old car I had to a man hitch hiking to Michigan and his pregnant wife, so he could get a job, and a month or so latter, he sent me 1000.00 bucks back. The car was only worth 300.00, maybe.

You can't expect to treat people badly, and turn around and think they will treat you kindly. If you are dishonest and tell lies, sooner or later the lies will catch up with you, and you will be known as a liar. You are who your friends are, or you would not be with those people-you would have nothing in common. (Good or bad) People normally view the world as they see it, if they are honest, they view others as honest, and etc.
