The philosophical explanation of karma can differ slightly between traditions, but the general concept is basically the same.Through the law of karma,the effects of all deeds actively create the past, present and future experiences,thus making one responsible for one's own life, and the pain and joy it bring to them and others. Karma is very helpful to people because of its view. Doing good will be reward and bad things will bounce back and both will result double as how you act. We often misunderstand the meaning because we only see that karma will give us pain because we did something wrong from the past, the truth is somehow if there are great things happen to us, we forget to appreciate it. I believe it was really exist because i already proven this. Especially when it comes to those people who share the blessing they receive to less fortunate.

yes, alexigne i truly agree with you...many people can see only the 10% bad things, and unable to see the 90% great things... karma is yin/yang principle. how can anyone appreciate good health if he/she didn't see many people suffering in hospital with various sicknesses how can anyone appreciate 3 meal/day if he/she didn't see many people on other part of the world have nothing to eat. how can anyone appreciate a home if he/she didn't see people living on streets. how can anyone appreciate work if he/she didn't see people having no work. many many more to list but the point is we should be thankful for our blessing... Smile always ^_^

Yes, I do believe in karma. I think for every action there is a reaction. Just like if you turn on a light switch, something is bound to happen on the other end whether its positive or negative. So in essence, the actions that you chose to take will illicit a reaction from those who they effect.

Yep, I believe in it big time. Major example. I hate to say it like this but ok, there were two colleages at a workplace. One was over the other and the other wanted Over's job. The first session for Over's job which he held for like thirty odd years, and through some prayers and efforts of Overs contemporaries, he was able to keep his job for like a couple more years. Meanwhile, Other got his support together so when the next session hit, the job would be his. Despite of this,Over felt his job was secure and when the next session came, Other got the job thanks for building up support and such. And Over, sadly faded into the sunset. Well, Other got the job and couple of years later, Other got caught up in a scandal that made him leave the job in disgrace. THAT my friends is karma. I put it like that because of the circumstances and all but yep, I do believe in karma.

I think karma isnt as much of an obvious thing people make it out to be. I believe that karma will even things out in the end with little things here and little things there.

hi amesballa! thanks for your response. i agree its not much obvious thing, just compare karma as to planting a seed...its not obvious what kind tree the seed will produce, the farmer need to wait until it is fully grown...so i think it takes time for karma to take effect and become obvious ^_^

I feel that Karma is just something people say to make other people be nice to them. I've never believed in Karma because I donated $100 dollars to charity one day and I burned my finger while cooking, took 2 weeks for my finger to heal and now I can barely see my fingerprint =(.

hi pickless, WOW! i salute you for your charity ^_^ i also do charity... and i like to explain something which i had read about karma and i am sorry to hear about what happened to your finger. But i think its not related to the karma of you giving to charity...its related maybe to karma for other reasons maybe...the action your deed giving money to charity will have effect of you receiving money in the future...but why many people didn't receive the money they gave? the secret is "your frame of mind when giving" many rich people know this secret that when you give you should have a state of mind of "abundance" so you will have more abundance...many people give to charity and have a state of mind of poverty or depletion so what they get in return? yes more state of poverty! hehe... its just what i read but i hope you continue to believe and do good deeds... ^_^
