I don't believe in karma. There is no mystical scale doling out consequences based on some universal judgement of our actions.
I do believe in people. If you treat people badly, then those people will generally treat you badly. That's just human nature. We tend to reward those actions we like and punish those actions we don't like.

It is real about karma or you may call a God's law of causes and consequences. If you cause somebody to experience something, soon you will have to encounter those experience as well. However, it doesn't mean that you may be treated well from a person that you treat. You will experience good treatment from someone else, some place else. It can be the same person or not. I believe in Karma because I have observed what happens to me and it's consistent with Karma law.

To fully understand the depths of Karma theory, you will need to go into the eastern philosophy of beginingless lifetimes of reincarnation.
In theory of Karma, he hurt you now, but the cause of it could be you could have hurt him in a previous lifetime. But to be practical, you should also delve on the possibility that you could have caused someone the same pain that he has given you, but maybe unknowingly. Could be a less attractive guy came and talked to you, and you gave him the cold shoulder, because you did not want to lead him on... your intentions were noble, but on the receiving end he could have felt hurt inhis heart.
And yes... this guy who does this to you, will for sure get his in return... maybe he becomes totally infatuated with Paris Hilton but cant get even her phone number.... and the frustration he feels will be similar to yours. And when he DOES get the phone number, and maybe by chance gets to talk to her, he is given the slide and evade... and feels the hurt he had cause you.
This is just a possible example and also just the surface on the theory and understanding of karma...
I hope I didnt confuse you even more.... and cheer up... Why guys don't call even when they say they would, is one of the great mysteries of the world.... Just as guys don't understand how girls can type a letter and talk on the phone at the same time without messing up one or the other :)

I don't know what kind of situation you are in the way your describe it. I know people can make us feel strange sometimes and that feeling isn't always pleasant. But, you are not alone to stay with the goodness.
"As you sow so shall you reap"
We don't know what kind of things we may have done in previous lives that are resulting in inauspiciousness for us in this life. And we may have done things in this life that is contributing to inauspiciousness for us in this life and possibly the next.
There is nothing wrong with always doing good to start trying to improve your karma and the auspiciousness of your life in this life and the next. However, we need to understand the real truth about karma. Karma is of this material existence. And our real self is not material.
Karma is a science. There is an equal an opposite reaction to every action. Try to think of it on an atomic level. Try to think of it as the positive and negative charge in electricity. Energy is never destroyed. Energy goes on forever.
To do good is a positive force. When we do good we are at least acting in line with the true positive aspect of our eternal being. When someone does bad they are losing touch with the eternal positive being. Therefore, those who do bad could fall into inauspiciousness in this life or in the next.
Believing in karma is first step to understanding Dharma. Understanding Dharma means understanding the four legs of Dharma. As we make advancement in this understanding then we will begin to understand the true meaning of Yoga. Then we can start to understand our true eternal nonmaterial self. From there, the final achievement, is Bhakti.

I do, maybe not some mystical force that keeps all odds even, but in society, if you have a negative attitude, and do things considered 'bad', then you lay only a trail of sh-t that's bound to catch up.
Say, sometime when he's having a bad day, because he's giving off a negative vibe, people are less likely to help him. If you're pis--d off all the time, you're more likely to make things worse(haven't you ever gotten extremely mad and it only made the situation worse?)
So yeah, I believe. I'm not religious, but it's all in the bible too. You've got to do good, otherwise in the end bad will find you.
It's like a common rule among humanity, just translated into all beliefs.

Karma exists, I've seen it in action, however one must realise that Karma is a force acting throughout all our incarnations, meaning we might receive negative Karma in one life-time for something done in a past, or given time doesn't exist beyond the physical, or future incarnation, just as we may receive positive Karma in this life for something we did many life-times ago.

Well, I don't know if it's karma... but generally behavior like this does come back to haunt people. I hope he grows up and stops hurting people. Move on and find someone who will treat you with respect.

i believe karma is real but it is faith based like pay it forward you cant do one good dead and expect the entire universe to jump up and make life perfect for you and you cant just let bad things happen if you can stop them. its not the law that will persecute all and all that think of it as a gentle guiding force that embodies as ppl say you reap what you sew it will not always fix everything but everything in the end gravitates back to neutrality

i used to be a Buddhist, yet i do no longer think in Karma. the finished coaching, on a similar time as based on the regulation of reason and effect, seems to be yet differently of administration human beings. right here, particularly than going to hell for sinning, one is subject to varied unsightly rebirths. as quickly as upon a time, I used to paintings in a newborn's maximum cancers wellness midsection. I spent many hours finding into the eyes of dieing little ones, and not in any respect as quickly as observed something that advised me that they've been paying a debt from a prior existence. And, what on the topic of the loads of little ones that starve on an known basis on planet earth. Karma says that they are starving as a results of fact of a karmic debt that they incurred in a prior existence. i do no longer purchase that for a 2nd, as mushy an expiation because it is. some 30,000 little ones die on an known basis as a results of fact we don't provide a damn, and for no different reason. The coaching of karma makes the sufferer, despite if the sufferer is a newborn, to blame for his/her condition. Or shall we check out a rape sufferer. Do you extremely have self belief that the sufferer of rape is basically repaying a karmic debt? there is plenty on the topic of the Buddhist teachings which would be inspiring to genuine non secular searching for, yet while they ask you to "have self belief" in something - beware.

As much as I wish karma or some other method of infallible universal justice was real, it isn't.
Bad deeds go unpunished, and good deeds go unrewarded. That's all the proof you need that karma doesn't exist.
