I do! Shortly before my ex left me, he used me to help him buy a car. (co-signer) It was a Chevy Lumina. He wanted a car so he could sneak out and see his girlfriend without his wife knowing. About a month ago, he was in an accident and totaled out his car. Fortunately he wasn't hurt. Two weeks later, he got another car...a Lumina again. A week later, this past Wednesday, he was rear ended and totaled out his new car as well! I told him he better start taking the bus! lol

Hi Leeesa, Yes i believe in Karma, I also believe in this saying " do not do unto others what you do not want others do unto you. Always do good things and you will get good karma. ^_^

Sometime, I trust it, but sometime I think man's determination can conquer nature. But my grandma, she is a devotional believer. She always burn joss sticks and go to the temple, to prayer, sometime she would collect money for the temple. When we travel to distant place, she will call us, remember to pay tribute to buddha. That is her faith...

LOL Yup, what goes around comes around. When my ex and I split up he thought he was going to be on easy street b/c the g/f he shacked up with...her family had money and land. He ended up marrying her, had a kid and is currently millions of dollars in debt. I think it's hilarious. **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

Hi Leesa Yes. I really do belive in Karma. There is a chinese saying. "You reap what you sow" So whatever bad deeds you did in life, you will get your punishment. May not be during your life time but may affect your future generation. Likewise, if you do good deeds, you will get rewarded. Again may not be happen to you personally but your future generation

Hello dear leeesa. So from your discussion, it shows that karma exists. But anyway it is releasing that your ex is safe from getting hurt, which is good for him. Your suggestion to him is good that he take a bus to go to work or what.

Hi leeesa, I am a strong believer of karma. I have seen people who had done bad for others suffer from certain bad things to them.I have seen people who did good for others and how they are benefited. But it is very difficult to explain all about that here.But I can tell one thing here very clearly to all,if they watch people around them or if they rewind their own life they can observe what is karma. Good Luck.

Oh, absolutely I believe in karma. I've seen it happen a lot along the years. Sometimes it takes a while, but karma eventually catches up with them.

oh yes... i do believe in karma even though not entirely... i still believe in God more than karma... but i know that in the Bible says that do unto others what you want others to do to you... and my father always say this to me as well since i am a girl... so i always try to do good deeds everytime i can...

I do believe in Karma but I have no strong reasons why. I just think that good things have a way of happening to good people and so I try to be a good person so I can get my share.

Yes i definitely believe in karma! I have seen so many people treat others horribly. And in the end it comes back and bites them in the butt. But it seems like these people never learn their lesson.

I definitely believe in karma, because I have seen it happen, and it happens to me, too. The saying "what goes around, comes around" is so true. Especially if its tether ball =)And I believe that not only does Karma hurt you if you wrong people, but it helps you if you are kind. And I am glad your ex got what was coming to him. Noone deserves someone like that.

Yes, and it isn't any different than the "golden rule." My ex-husband wanted a divorce because I was too handicapped for him, however, his new wife hasn't been well since he married her. 34 years of marriage and he didn't get anything different except a younger wife with more problems than I have. He didn't want to deal with his own children, but his new family has an adult child living with him who will always be disabled and dependent. Supposedly he wanted to date, but he got remarried two months after the ink dried on the divorce. Doesn't look to me like he got the freedom he said he wanted. I also like the spiritual principle of "if we don't learn the spiritual lesson the first time, we get to repeat it until we learn the lesson." What goes around, comes around. I know I never have to be revengeful because he brought it on himself. Such a shame to be retirement age and never have retirement in site, and have brought it on yourself.

I dont believe in bad to bad karma but if one does a good deed for another, that person will get rewarded. One day i was walking home from work since my wife had to use our only car that day and my friend caught me and gave me a ride home. And the other day he was in the same boat I was in and I cought him and gave him a ride.

I def believe in Karma, to tell you a short story... several months ago I ran from the cops while three of my good friends got arrested, about 3 weeks after they got arrested, I was arrested for a completely seperate reason, that people normally do not get arrested for... my explination? either the cops just wanted to abuse their power, or it was because I didn't get arretsed when I should have a few weeks earlier. Also, people live by quotes that relate directly to karma... "what goes around comes around"

I honestly do believe in karma. The reason why I believe in karmah is because of all of the things I have seen happen to people who treat others badly. The saying "What goes around comes around" holds true in many of our lifes situations. One situation, as mentioned earlier, is how poeple treat others. I have seen people treat others quite crappy, then before they have know what happens to them- they are recieveing the same "punishment" as what they game.
