This is something i learned about karma and i'd like to share it with you all. There are four rules of Karma: 1.Karma is certain. 2.Karma expands. 3.If you "do it" it will come back to you. (it means - what you sow, so shall you reap. you can't plant a tomato seed and expect olives) 4.If you "don't do it" it won't come back to you. (Everything that is happening to you is a result of your past actions) Well,i believe in karma coz i think what goes around, comes around so we should take responsibility for our actions cause this comes with consequences later on. :) What do you think about karma? is it for real?

Yes. I do believe that karma is for real. I mean, I do believe that what comes around, goes around. Like if you have done something wrong or bad against a person, then there's a huge possibility that you'll be experiences problems or situations that can either cause you pain, can make you cry, can make you problematic and probably even make you feel guilty and resentful.. It will definitely haunt you if you have done something bad. I believe in karma because I have experienced karma at its best.. My experience: This is with my ex-boyfriend. At first, I was the one who has all the power. Like anytime when we argue, I immediately want to break up with him. And there he goes, begging for me not to go.. After a few years, we still dated.. But it got to the point that he had it.. I was really abusing him emotionally. I was taking advantage of his love.. That time, he won't chase me anymore or run after me when I break up with him over a silly argument. I was even the one who was begging him not to leave me. I think you know that things already. I really am so guilty at that time. And I wish I had never abused him of his feelings.. I almost lost him that time.. He's not my boyfriend anymore.. But its an experience of karma for me.

That's a different love story.. But I am happy that you ended with someone better than your first love. It's not really your fault why those men cried just to beg for your love.. I mean, you have the choice to reject them.. and I'm happy that you did. At least your being true to yourself and being true to those who courted you by saying No. About your first love, it really is sad. I can really relate to what you have felt that time. It hurts so bad right? It makes us cry .. But always keep in mind that "It may rain 40 days and 40 nights but it will not rain forever." Best of luck to you claire! and to your husband and soon to be family too. :)

it happened to me in love in a different way. When i was still single, a lot of guys court me but i turn down every guy cause i wasn't serious and ready for love. I am a heart breaker before, i never really jst want to give a false hope cause it's better to be honest to them. MOre than two guys cried begging for a chance but i don't feel anything with any of those guys so i turned them down and i hurt their feelings even if i didn't mean to. Then one day comes that i woke up and found myself in love with this guy i never really planned to be in love with, it's just a stroke of luck i guess, what happened was i got hurt because there are so many conflicts and against our relationship that it hurts me so much. When i was serious for love already, i can't have it anymore. i feel so depressed that time that i remember all those guys that cried for my love and now i'm giving it away to someone who don't really deserve it, we didn't last so i just consider it as a blessing in disguise cause i'm with the right man of my life now who is responsible, mature and willing to fight for me. :)

Hello Claire!!LOL!!!I do not believe in reincarnation but I do know that karma is absolutely real.By the very deeds that we do, so will we be rewarded.If we do evil,evil will come back to us in greater measure and if we do good,we will be rewarded with an abundance of good.If you lie ,you will be lied to,If you steal, Others will steal from you,if you hate,you will be hated,if you kill,you will eventually be killed.The same applies to the good things that you do.Yes indeed the wheel definitely turns.!!!!LOL!!!!

I believe in Karma full fold. If you are not a good person it will come back to bite you in the butt. There is no excuse for treating somebody badly, and I think the world shows us that through Karma. What goes around comes around.

Hi claire, Yes I do believe in Karma, it is something that makes sense. Even though it is better known in eastern religions, it's also mentioned in the Bible. Jesus said, that what you sow, you will reap. Blessings.

i believe in "what you sow, you reap" or karma. we might not notice it sometimes but if we're going to look back into our past, we'll find a lot of times this happened to us. i think people afraid of karma will just consider such things as coincidence. but as for me it's real. PAYBACK time. ;-)

yes, it is true. what you sow, you will reap. all the things we do will always have an effect on our life. if we did good it will affect us in good way but if it's bad it will affect us in a bad way. that's how it goes. :) have a nice day friend.

After reading your explanation on four rules of Karma, it makes me believe it is a true thing. As it happened in my life in that such way. And I should thank you for your explanation on this matter.

I do believe in KARMA, too. Anything bad that you do to others would come back 3 times to you. That's a practice and a rule of white witches, they believe in such thing as "KARMA", that's why they tend to do good and sees to it that their actions be done for good. It is like, facing the consequences when you do something. Karma is for real.. Some people may not believe it, but there's nothing wrong if you won't. Besides, even religion recognizes KARMA, though the term is not literally used. Bible says or 1 of the commandments of God provides, "Do unto others what you want others do unto you". Obviously, the commandment as mentioned above is very clear as a manifestation of a kind of "KARMA".

Yes - I definately believe in karma. I am not religious in a conventional sense at all, - but I do believe that we reap what we sow, and what goes around will come around. For every action there is a reaction in my book- so definately it is for real.

I don't really believe that much in "karma" but I do believe that there's a consequence in everything that we do. If ever something bad had happened to one person, we usually try to linked or make a connection with his past action or behavior, and believe that was the cause of gloominess in his life.

I agree with you totally because everytime I do something good for someone it comes back to me even if I'm not expecting anything. In my opinion Karma does exist and everything we do sooner or later comes back to us.

I think that what actions we make today, change what we have tomorrow. Karma will forever be a part of our lives, a certain different word for cause and effect. If you push a certain circumstance, something is going to change in your future. For instance if you eat a ton of food each day everyday, someday in your future you are going to be fat or overwieght. Everything we do in life has an equal and opposite reaction, therefore when we do something we need to think of what tomorrow will bring if said action is taken.

Doing what I should not...comes back to me 3 times. Doing the good that I should...comes back to me 7 times. Yes, I believe in Karma and it is an easy choice to do good.

I somewhat believe in Karma since I've lead a good, productive, generous life and I've not suffered horrifically. When it comes down to certain issues (usually relationships) I feel karma is broken. I've been nice in relationships and got some pretty crappy deals from several harpy serpents. But I think everything else has a bit of karma behind it.

yes I beleive in karma, but just in the sense of happiness. I don't beleive that carma exsist in the material world. Cause I think that people that don't get things sometime should, and some people that do get things sometimes shouldn't. But I just think that is true with material things. And well I guess, now that I think about it I don't beleive in the number one either, cause karma isn't alway certain. You will always find sometimes when a genuinely good person who should have great karma end up having something bad happen. So I guess I think Karma is a good rule to live by, and for the most part it will make life better, but I don't expect it to always work.

I used to believe in karma... less so that a "past life" might affect one now, and more that whatever you do in this one will come back to either bite you or bless you. It occurred to me along the way that karma's rather random. Then I met Jesus, and now grok that there's a higher system than man's misapplication of karma.
