Do you believe in everyday karma?

When I intentionally do someone wrong it seems as if in a strange way I'm being given the same treatment back only from an other person in an other situation...almost as a part of some sort of cosmic balance. The karmic consequences of my actions seem at first irrelevant, but when observed at a closer range you see how the punishemnt fits the crime like a jigsaw puzzle.

Do you experience that in your everyday life?

I do believe in what goes around comes back around and I do experience that everyday. What is released from the heart will come right back in your heart. I found that a lot of us don't really fully understand that logic. I think that alone can get a lot of us to understand the hurts inflicted to us in our life time. Many can't seem to figure out why is that they've been hurt by someone, they never hurt themselves ...

I say the simple laws or nature implies that, what goes around must come back. So if evilness left your heart towards someone you had very little care for, you have to understand that evilness "Must" come back to where it left from. Most understand that part of it and often leave it at that. Failing to take it further and see that things can only make it inside your heart through someone who has "access" to your heart and if that's your boyfriend, husband, parents, family, best friend ect ... than that's what it will be. One thing for sure, is that it "Must" come back to where it left from, so if your evilness to someone came from deep inside, evilness will come and hit you deep inside that same spot.

Knowing and understanding that ... every time something wrong is happening in your life. Don't simply look at the individual who inflicted the pain into you. Instead look back and try to remember who you inflicted pain to, that will make you understand what came back to you much better. The pain your feeling today is mostly a reflection of the pain you've once inflicted to someone else. So at the end it really doesn't matter that you treat your girlfriend like a princess if you are out treating the rest of the world like slaves. You girlfriend may serve you as you deserved to be served by the laws of nature.

i'm more apt to think of Karma/Fate in its more positive light, though i know some will certainly have a "much heavier" burden of Karma than others (criminals, murderers, etc.) i'm not too worried about the more mundane, innocuous day to day events that pretty much remind us that we are all humans and "not" perfect or meant to be. I also think the good deeds you do, may somehow come back in often mysterious or unrealized ways. I believe things happen the way they are "supposed to" for a reason, though sometimes you may not fully realize or even appreciate til later on. I guess, kind of like when one door closes, another opens. effect/affect, action/reaction. Life really does fit like a puzzle and the people you come across. Some contacts being rather benign, others more profound and life-altering. Balancing both karma and fate, as well as affecting other's in the process.

Actually, I do believe in Karma. Yes, what goes around comes around. Theres nothing gray about that 😉

I don't buy into all that Indian hinduism/buddhism, to me it's a philosophy of life more than anything else. I'm not very religious. But what I meant by karma is exactly what I said in my first post. Now that might as well be a psychological aspect of the human mind where we unconsciousely punish ourselves when we feel we've wronged someone. But whatever it is, I can't deny it's a part of my everyday life, hence "everyday karma". No more, no less.

if thats what one believes, then it becomes very true for that individual.

We all do harm to others. Sometimes we even enjoy it, but we deny it. I'm not talking about Manson and serial-killers getting what they deserve. I'm talking about small everyday stuff, like ignoring someone you know likes you just because you don't like them back, and getting a kick out of it. Or being negative about someone behind their back for no specific reason. Being jealous of someone else's accoplishemtns also means a lot of negative energy which makes you less successfull with your own accomplishments. All that everyday-stuff.

Of course, "small-everyday-stuff-karma" also means that it's easy to see karma everywhere if you choose to do so. I don't choose to do so, I just think life is ironic sometimes (often, really) in terms of poetic justice, and wonder whether there is some sort of karmic balance out there despite my cool, calculating nature. Or maybe I just have bad luck because I rarely get away with my little crimes.

maybe, possibly we all do harm to others, but there is a difference. what you are describing is intention. you are very aware of what you are doing to the other, and for what reasons for doing so, and being true to the person you are, the manner in which you behave is what will seek you out and replay itself over and over again..i dont think you can, as you said be negative about someone for no specific reason..there is ALWAYS a specific reason, now whether you are aware of it or not means looking within yourself. but for all the things you are describing, dont so much sound like karma to me, it sounds like the ego, doing whatever it can to continue to exist.

looks like you are counting on something to happen you for whatever you did that you believed was wrong, and "Voilah", it does happen to you, because you are subconciously asking for it.

If you are with a group of people where everybody are talking about someone behind his/her back, and you join in without any reason except that you find that person annoying - well, then YOU ARE talking about that person in a negative way for no reason but the fact that you find him/her annoying. And that's not good enough of a reason unless they've wronged you in some way.

And I never counted on bad things to happen, but eventually I would connect the dots and find a link between things I have done and the things other people have done to me. But I am open to the notion that it's a psychological thing. You do bad and you feel you deserve bad in return - you are drawn into punishing yourself on an unconscious level. I guess that's whould explain why so many sociopaths don't get what's coming to them (unless they actually commit a crime). They don't feel bad about the things they do...not even on a unconscious level, so they are uncapable of punishing themselves. I'm more into the psychological aspect of karma than the spiritual, as I don't really believe in after-life or reincarnation.

yes, the moment you are aware of what the conversation consists of and still decide to engage, whether by speaking or just by listening, then yes..you are knowingly, talking about that person. there is always a reason..see in your sentence, you say "for no reason, but the fact that you find him/her annoying". well that is the reason..

on another note, i hope im not a sociopath, because I am so unemotional, it is pointed out to me over and over again, and im not even understanding how people perceive me as that, but o-well.

I've seen it so many times, I do believe it.
