5 years back, I wronged someone by treating him in a demeaning, mocking, rude, belittling, disrespectful way. Fast forward to today. The guy that I liked did the very same to me. Will this guy now be getting his in the future? Or since it was my bad karma coming back at me, it's over?

Wheel goes round, so there will be time for him as well.

According to Buddhism, karma from THIS life doesn't always necessarily come to fruition IN this life. The idea is to meet all karma we perceive as "bad" with patience and understanding, cause no further harm and do only virtuous deeds, don't worry about the karma of others, except if they ask for your advice/help, etc. You can also do various "purification practices" (which are often best suggested by a lama or your own conscience) which can eradicate some of the "steam" off of the karmic "seeds" you have already planted in this life. This is what is taught as what's best. I'm merely the parrot... can I have a cracker? ;0)

Yes. That is the way that karma works. Even if you kill someone in this life, in the future next lives, you will be killed by him, in different body of course, but the same person will act. And he will get the same result over and over, that is the cycle of birth and death all about, we must come back over and over to pay the bad or good karma.

The only way to escape karma is to attain enlightenment and that takes such suffering and self sacrifice that it is worse than facing up to the negative karma. Every action has a consequence- you can escape nothing. Accept it and learn from your mistakes. Karma isn't a punishment just a means of learning and growing spiritually.

unfortunately religion damages our sense of conscience... karma at the level you are talking about would have been a reflection at the time when you were treating this person badly your conscience would have kicked in making you feel bad for your behavior.... religion teaches us to persecute unjustifiable each other so our sense of right and wrong got damaged.... then there is Life every one has this damage so eventually we run into someone who reminds us that we should treat each other better... Unfortunately the human race is slow because they've yet to understand when they caused someone pain until they are recipient of similar pain. Karma is natural consequences and benifits to our actions

Oh confident. i opt to have a front row seat. certainly (and this sounds extremely merciless, yet i'm being honest...) I verify the obituaries daily purely in case his call is there. i do in contrast to funerals or funeral residences, yet I plan on making a undeniable factor of seeing him in all his embalmed glory. purely opt to have the skill to have the final snigger....
